2 Days Tour From Ouarzazate

Departing at 08:30, your day begins with a drive through the Skoura Oasis toward the Dades Gorge, where restored kasbahs such as Amridil illustrate traditional adobe living with thick walls that stay cool in summer and warm in winter; then continue to the Valley of Roses (Kelaa M’Gouna) to discover locally produced rose water and natural cosmetics, followed by lunch amid the lush Dades landscapes and a brief geology insight into the area’s ancient seabed turned Atlas Mountains, after which you cross the Ziz Valley (famous for its Date Festival), pass Erfoud—renowned for its fossil fields—and Rissani, site of the medieval Sijilmassa, before arriving at the dunes for an optional camel ride to the crest for a stunning sunset, and finally enjoy dinner and an overnight in a luxury desert camp with private bathroom and refined Moroccan décor.

A stunning desert sunrise rewards early risers, when shadow hues become mesmerizing; then the route continues through Tazzarine — featured in the film Babel — toward the Draa Valley, with a midday lunch stop in Nkob. Afterwards, the drive approaches Tansikht and crosses the Draa River, following the historic caravan route north so you can observe oasis life and towering palm groves; moreover, ask your driver to pause just after the bend to admire dinosaur footprints preserved in the roadside rock. In Agdez, visit Kasbah Tamnougalte, the valley’s oldest ksar still inhabited by local families, before ascending the Tizi‑n‑Tinfifte pass (1,660 m) with its dramatic rock formations on the return to Ouarzazate, where your excursion from Ouarzazate to Merzouga dunes concludes around 18:00.
