4-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech: Zagora and Merzouga

Two desert regions in four days, on a private loop that leaves Marrakech and returns to it. Day 1 climbs over the High Atlas at the Tizi n'Tichka pass, pauses in Ouarzazate and then tracks the Draa Valley south to Zagora. Day 2 turns east through the volcanic Anti-Atlas via Tazarine and Alnif to Merzouga, where a camel carries you into the Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset and the night is spent in a luxury ensuite desert camp. Days 3 and 4 head back the other way: Rissani first, then Tinghir and its oasis, the Todra Gorge, a night in the Dades Valley, the rose fields, Skoura, and last of all the UNESCO ksar at Aït Ben Haddou before the final climb over the Atlas. An air-conditioned 4×4 or van with an English-speaking driver-guide is yours alone for the whole four days, and the price carries collection and return at your Marrakech hotel, three nights on half-board (a Zagora hotel, the Erg Chebbi luxury camp, a Dades Valley hotel) and both camel rides.
