Unforgettable Ouarzazate Sahara Tours

A 3-day tour from Ouarzazate to the Merzouga desert and Zagora is the most popular. It goes through Aït Benhaddou, the Skoura oasis, Dadès Gorge, Todra Gorge, Erg Chebbi dunes, Merzouga, the Draa Valley, and Zagora. This format is hard work but very rewarding: three long, carefully planned days with a private guide. For travelers who want to take things slower, spend more time on the dunes, or include the Jebel Saghro plateau or Fint Oasis, Dahbi Morocco Tours also offers 4- and 5-day extensions. For travelers who want to take pictures, a second night in the desert camp is a popular option.

Totally. Dahbi Morocco Tours runs a standard 3-day tour from Ouarzazate to Marrakech through the Draa Valley, Zagora, and the Tizi n'Tichka pass. This is just the beginning. Families with young kids can change how far they drive each day. Couples on their honeymoon can ask for private dinners, better rooms, and special tent arrangements at the desert camp. Photographers can plan their trips around the times of dawn and golden hour at certain dunes and gorges. Travelers who are interested in history can spend more time in Rissani, the old capital of the Alaoui dynasty, or at the ksar of Aït Benhaddou. When you book a trip with Dahbi Morocco Tours, the first thing they do is talk to you about what you want to do, and then they make a plan based on that.

Dahbi Morocco Tours chooses places to stay based on their character and location, not just their star rating. We stay in a traditional kasbah hotel on the edge of the gorge in Boumalne Dadès, where we can see the whole area from the terrace. We stay in a private luxury desert camp at Erg Chebbi. Each tent has its own bathroom and shower, proper beds, cotton linens, solar electricity, and more. This is a real luxury experience, not just a basic bivouac. Standard package accommodations are like a nice 3-star hotel. You can upgrade to 4-star kasbah hotels and better luxury camp tents at any point along the way if you ask. Before we add any properties to our itineraries, the Dahbi Morocco Tours team checks them out.

Yes, both of those things. Dahbi Morocco Tours has taken hundreds of solo travelers, including many women traveling alone from the US, UK, and Europe. The private format is one of the main reasons why the experience works so well for them. A local guide can help independent travelers deal with the constant attention they sometimes get in Moroccan medinas and souks. You can also reach our team by WhatsApp at any time. Families with kids are also well taken care of. We change the pace, choose stops that are good for kids, and make sure that the less patient members of the group are taken care of without the adults missing out on what matters. For younger travelers, the camel trek and dune activities are always the best part.

Most travelers prefer to go from March to May and from September to November. In the spring, the gorges and desert get mild temperatures. Wildflowers bloom on the Atlas slopes, and in late April and May, the rose harvest takes place in the Kelaat M'Gouna valley. In the Ziz and Draa valleys, where the date harvest season is in the fall, the weather is similar to that of the fall. Winter (December to February) is the best time to take pictures in the desert. The dunes are almost empty, the light is golden, and the air is crisp. However, you will need to wear warm layers at night when the temperature can drop to 0°C. In the summer (June to August), you can do desert activities in the early morning. The heat in Merzouga and Zagora can reach 40–45°C in the middle of the day. Dahbi Morocco Tours has led this route in all seasons and can tell you what to expect on the days you plan to travel.
