    Tour Details — 4 Day Errachidia to Marrakech Tour

    Our private Errachidia To Marrakech Tour offers an immersive Moroccan experience. Fly into Errachidia, out of Marrakech, and let the desert be the road between. Our 4-day Errachidia to Marrakech tour is a private, one-way crossing from Errachidia to Marrakech — a camel trek and camp at Erg Chebbi, the Todra and Dades gorges, the UNESCO kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, and the Tizi n’Tichka pass over the High Atlas.

    You start with the Ziz Valley and a sunset ride into the Merzouga dunes, sleep at a camp we know, then roll west along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through the gorges to Ouarzazate, the Hollywood of Africa. The last day climbs over the Atlas, 2,260 metres at the pass, and drops you into Marrakech in time for the night-time roar of Jemaa el-Fna. Private 4×4, English-speaking Berber driver.
