Four days give you time to enjoy the road to the Sahara without rushing. This private tour loops from Marrakech to the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga and back through the Draa Valley, with a night in Ouarzazate on the way home.

You see Ait Ben Haddou, the Dades Valley and the Todra Gorge, ride a camel into the dunes at sunset and spend a night in a Berber camp, then visit the old market town of Rissani and the palm groves of the Draa.
