4-day desert tour from Agadir to Merzouga with a full desert day. From €280 per person.
This is the slower Agadir desert tour, with a full day in the Merzouga desert. You cross the Anti-Atlas, see Ouarzazate and the gorges, and have time in the dunes before the drive back to Marrakech.
It suits travellers based in Agadir who want time in the desert. The price starts at €280 per person.

We start after breakfast with a 4x4 drive around the dunes. We visit a family of nomads and drink tea in their tent. We stop at the village of Khamlia, where local musicians play Gnawa music. In the afternoon you have free time at the camp. You can try sandboarding or ride a quad bike, paid on the spot. At sunset you ride a camel back into the dunes. Dinner and music at the camp follow.

We wake up early for sunrise over the dunes. After breakfast at the camp you ride a camel or take the 4x4 back to Merzouga village. Then we drive back through the Draa Valley, the long palm valley in the south. We stop in Ouarzazate for lunch. The road climbs back over the Tizi n'Tichka Pass in the afternoon. We reach Marrakech in the early evening and drop you at your stay.
Night 1 in a hotel in Ouarzazate. Nights 2 and 3 in a desert camp in Merzouga.
The price starts at €280 per person. The shared tour is the lowest price. A private tour for 2 people costs more per person than a private tour for 4 or 6 people, because the vehicle cost is shared. Tell us your group size and we give you the exact price.
You can book it both ways. The shared tour has 6 to 8 travellers in one minibus. The private tour is only your group, with your own driver and your own pace. The price on this page is the shared price unless the tour says private.
The camp sits in the Erg Chebbi dunes, near Merzouga. Tents have real beds, mattresses and blankets. Dinner and breakfast are served in the camp restaurant tent. In the evening there is music around the fire. Standard camps share bathrooms. Luxury camps have a private bathroom in the tent.
No. The camel ride takes about 1 hour at sunset and a shorter ride at sunrise. If you prefer, the 4x4 takes you to the camp and back. Tell us when you book and we plan it that way.
Bring a small bag for the camp night: a change of clothes, a toothbrush, sun cream and a warm layer. Your main luggage stays locked in the vehicle in Merzouga. It is there when you return in the morning.
Book as early as you can, above all for March to May and September to November. Camps fill up on weekends. If your date is close, write to us on WhatsApp and we check what is still free the same day.
Yes, from age 4. The drive is long, so we plan stops every 2 hours. We fit child seats on request. Children under 5 often ride the camel with a parent.
Rain in the desert is rare and short. If the road over the pass is closed by snow in winter, we take a safe detour or change the plan with you. We never drive a closed road.
We reply within a few hours, usually the same day. No payment is needed to ask.
