3-Day desert tour from Agadir to Merzouga highlights overview:
The cinema city of Ouarzazate
Because there are so many Atlas studios in Ouarzazate, the city has been dubbed “Africa’s Hollywood.” The name Ouarzazate is derived from two words: Ouar, which means “without,” and Zazate, which means “noise.” That is to imply “a city devoid of noise.” Ouarzazate is also well-known for its Taourirt Kasbah.
Kasbah is derived from the Arabic word Kasab, which means “bamboo.” The reason for this is that bamboo is utilized to build the roof of the Kasbah fortress. Ouarzazate’s Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou has four studios where they produce films and give out equipment to others.
The city of Tinghir
Tinghir (also Tineghir or Tinerhir) is a lovely city known for its magnificent palm groves and Todgha Gorges. The settlement, which has a population of 40,000 people, is built in layers around a peninsula inhabited by the ruins of an old Glaoui castle (including adjacent towns).
The palm forest encircles the city on all sides, stretching 30 kilometers and filled with little ksour and kasbahs. Tourists may go walking, cycling, donkey rides, camel rides, or off-roading and discover a whole community organization, from farm work to water delivery.
Merzouga Sahara desert
Merzouga is a tiny hamlet famous for the high dunes of Erg Chebbi that stretch to its outskirts. The Merzouga dunes are a popular location for tourists wanting a total immersion in the middle of a desert landscape that is both stunning and magnificent.
The town of Merzouga, located in the southeast of Morocco, 50 kilometers from Erfoud, is a pleasant surprise. After passing through stunning and diverse landscapes, you will arrive at an amazing sight: the Erg Chebbi dunes. They will be draped in a golden or ochre hue that will vary during the day, depending on the time you arrive.
As soon as you arrive at Merzouga on our 3-day desert tour from Agadir to Merzouga, you will be immersed in another world. The legendary blue guys with indigo blue check, the Saharouis, greet you. The camel drivers, as well as their dromedaries!
