Discovery of the mountain, the sand desert, and a night in a tent in Merzouga

bruno_c, Jun 2026

For those who want to experience the true desert in a short time, with visits along the way, this is the ideal excursion! Discovering Morocco in 3 days: the mountains via the Tichka Pass, from the gateway to the desert to Ouarzazate with the Ait Ben Haddou kasbah, the Todra gorges of the Dades, the first night in a hotel in Tinghir, from Erg Chebbi in the sand desert to Merzouga, a night in a tent at the bivouac in the desert accessible by camels. Even though the road is a bit long, it is truly worth it, and over 3 days, you can enjoy it well without getting too tired. You find yourself with other people from different nationalities. The driver Yassine and the guide Yassin did their utmost to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Thank you to the staff at the bivouac in Merzouga.

"In Morocco, you will find what you have come for!"

bruno_c, Feb 2026

We were a group of different nationalities and exchanged throughout the 3 days and 2 nights trip to Merzouga. The minibus drivers: YASSINE and ZAYD were very careful throughout the course. Our host: FAOUAD took care of all the animation and running: frequent stops, restaurants, hotels, schedules throughout the stay. We had our group whattsapp and so we were able to exchange throughout the stay. What more can I say? " PERFECT!" as the host FOUAD said. I often come to Morocco and I really enjoyed this excursion that is out of the ordinary, see as many things as possible in a short time without too much fatigue: marrakesh, pass of the tishka, ouarzazate, aït ben haddou, tinghirt, gorges of toddra, valley of the roses, camels to and from our tents in fixed bivouac in erg CHEBBI in Merzouga in the desert of sands, dinner, traditional music, sunset then sunrise, under a starry sky, then quiet return on the last day to Marrakech. Written by Bruno, February 2026 Hello to the little camel ADADM, Omar and all those of the bivouac, thank you for your welcome. inchallah I will come back so much I enjoyed. and I wish you, for your reader, the same and even more beautiful experience with them in Merzouga.
