1Day 1: Errachidia to Merzouga – The Desert Beckons
Begin your adventure in Errachidia, known for its palm groves and as a gateway to the Sahara. Head towards Merzouga, a small village near the stunning Erg Chebbi dunes, some of the largest in Morocco.
Upon arrival in Merzouga, embark on a camel trek to explore the expansive dunes. Witness the magnificent sunset over the Sahara, with the dunes casting shadows and changing colors. Spend the night in a desert camp under the stars, enjoying traditional Berber hospitality and perhaps some local music.
2Day 2: Explore Merzouga and Surroundings
Awake to a beautiful desert sunrise. After breakfast, explore the area around Merzouga. Options include visiting the village of Khamlia to experience Gnawa music, known for its African rhythms, or taking a 4×4 excursion to explore the desert further.

Continue towards Ait Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This fortified village is a stunning example of Moroccan earthen clay architecture and has been the backdrop for numerous films. Explore the ancient kasbahs and enjoy the panoramic views.

We chose the option of 4 days and 3 nights. The experience has been fantastic, especially for the unbeatable attention of our guide, Ali, and all the people who attended us in the haimas of Merzouga. Even Brahim’s management for booking and payment was excellent. Tamlalt Tours, highly recommended.

Tamlalt Tours has organized an 8-day route through Morocco for us and we loved it. Both my wife and my two children, ages 10 and 8, had a great time. Camel rides and nights in the desert, a real family adventure.

We came from Taiwan. We are so lucky to choose Tamlalt Tours. Our driver Hassan helped us in everything. He took us everywhere we wanted to go. I’d recommend this company to anyone travelling to Morocco.

We came all the way from Mexico, and would love to do it again! Ali drove us from Marrakech to the desert, making several stops, visiting amazing little towns and beautiful sceneries like the Dades Gorges and Ait Benhaddou. The camp was perfect: we had dinner, we danced, sang and watched the stars.
