Our multi-day tour through southern Morocco (AGADIR / MARRAKECH – OUARZAZATE – BOUMALNE DU DADES – MERZOUGA – ZAGORA – AGADIR / MARRAKECH) will captivate you with its breathtaking scenery, rich architecture, and the vibrant culture of the Berbers and Tuaregs.
You’ll explore oases, majestic mountains, dramatic gorges, fossil-rich black marble, golden desert dunes, grand earthen kasbahs (ksur), the “City of Roses,” and much more.

The journey begins with a drive across the High Atlas Mountains and along the famous “Kasbah Route” toward Ouarzazate, offering spectacular mountain views. We’ll visit the legendary Kasbah of Aït Benhaddou (UNESCO World Heritage Site) and the Atlas Film Studios. The next day, the trip continues toward Boumalne du Dadès via the Valley of Roses and the town of El Kelaâ des Mgouna, before reaching the stunning Dades Gorge.

The following day takes you to the Todgha Gorge — a natural wonder where sunlight paints the cliffs in ever-changing hues — before continuing on to Merzouga, gateway to the vast Sahara. You’ll experience a magical sunset over the dunes and a night under a sky full of stars.

The return journey passes through Rissani and Zagora, with an overnight stay. Along the way, you’ll discover one of Morocco’s largest oases, a lively Berber market, the saffron town of Taliouine, and other hidden gems.
Finally, you can unwind in Agadir on the Atlantic coast, reflecting on your unforgettable journey before flying home — or end your trip in Marrakech instead.

Departure point, duration, and end destination are flexible and can be customized. You can also combine this tour with another to create a 10–12 day grand journey across Morocco.
