You'll have time to walk palm valleys and sleep in the Dades before the camel evening on Erg Chebbi. The pacing allows gorge scenery and desert camp without rushing the long transfer days. 📋 Key Details Duration: 4 days Activity: 4x4 touring and camel trekking Start: Ouarzazate hotel Finish: Ouarzazate hotel Group: Private, 1 to 52 guests 🎯 What to Expect Day one explores Skoura and the Valley of Roses with a guesthouse night in Dades, where you can walk beside the canyon in the cool of the afternoon. Day two walks Todra Gorges between high limestone walls and continues east toward Merzouga with a hotel night in town before the dunes, so you are not riding camels straight off a ten-hour road marathon. Day three is the camel ride into Erg Chebbi camp, sunset on the tallest sand lines, dinner and music under the stars. Day four brings sunrise on the dunes, the ride back and a relaxed return through the Draa Valley to Ouarzazate with palm stops and kasbah viewpoints along the homeward road. 📍 Location The four-day pace suits travellers who want Merzouga without compressing Dades, Todra and the dune evening into two long days. Starting in Ouarzazate keeps you on the desert side of the Atlas for the whole loop, with Erg Chebbi as the eastern highlight. Skoura palmeraie, rose valleys and Todra canyon walls line the approach, then the horizon opens into rolling sand at Merzouga. The Dades guesthouse night places you inside the gorge country with time to explore on foot before the long drive east. ✅ Prerequisites You should be comfortable with daily travel and optional gorge walks on mostly flat paths. The camel ride into camp is gentle and led at a slow pace suitable for first-time riders. Share heat or mobility concerns when you enquire so we can balance walking time and rest stops. Your driver adjusts the schedule around the group rather than fixed departure times at each viewpoint. ⭐ Why Choose Us Extra nights in Dades and Merzouga town mean you arrive at camp rested rather than straight off a compressed eastbound drive. You enjoy sunset on the dunes with energy left for the evening fire and dawn photography. One private driver-guide handles the full loop from pickup to final drop-off in Ouarzazate. The same crew knows your preferences by day three, which makes flexible gorge walks and photo stops easy to arrange. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Pickup and drop-off at your Ouarzazate hotel Private vehicle, 4x4 dune day and English-speaking driver-guide Meals as listed on the itinerary Camel ride into and out of camp 1 night in a Todra riad, 1 night in a Merzouga hotel and 1 night in camp ### What’s not included Transport to Ouarzazate before pickup Drinks Tips for your guide and driver Travel insurance Entrance fees at monuments, studios and museums Anything not listed as included ### Kit list Sun hat, sunglasses and sunscreen A warm layer for hotel and camp nights Closed shoes for sand, gorges and 4x4 A scarf for sun and sand A small day bag for water and a camera ## FAQs ### Where do we meet? You'll be collected from your hotel in Ouarzazate on the morning of day one. On day four you return through the Draa Valley to Ouarzazate, usually by early evening. Share your hotel, riad or port arrival details when you enquire and we confirm pickup time the day before travel, including the nearest vehicle access on narrow medina lanes. ### How active is this trip? Optional walks in Dades and Todra gorges add light activity between driving days. The camel ride is the main desert on-foot experience. Tell us if you want longer gorge walks or a slower pace and we will adjust stops where possible. ### Where do we sleep? Nights include a Dades valley guesthouse, a hotel in Merzouga town and one night in an Erg Chebbi desert camp. Camp is tents with shared dining. Bring a warm layer for the dune night. Hotel nights are in private rooms for your group, while desert camp is simple shared tents with mattresses and blankets under the stars. ### What meals are included? Meals on the itinerary are included at guesthouses, hotels and camp. Tell us about dietary needs when you enquire. Drinks are not included. Breakfast and dinner are usually included where the itinerary lists hotel or camp nights, with lunch often on the road at a café or picnic stop between driving legs. ### What should I pack? Sun protection, comfortable travel clothes, a warm evening layer and closed shoes for sand and gorge paths are essential. A scarf helps on the camel ride. Keep a camera ready for Todra canyon walls. Keep a refillable water bottle and any daily essentials in the bag you carry in the vehicle, and ask when you enquire if you want seasonal advice for Atlas cold or desert heat. ### What will we see? Skoura palmeraie, Valley of Roses, Dades and Todra Gorges, Erfoud and Rissani lead to Erg Chebbi. Sunrise on the dunes and the Draa Valley palm corridor feature on the return west. Photo stops are built in where safe parking allows, and your driver can pause longer when the group wants more time at a viewpoint or kasbah. ### Can children join? Families who enjoy travel and a camel camp night can often join. Share ages when you enquire. The spread schedule gives more rest between driving days, which suits families better than a compressed desert run. ### What happens if the weather turns? Wind may shift camel timing. Your driver and camp team adjust for safety and comfort. Heavy rain in gorges can limit walks. We substitute scenic stops rather than risky paths. Winter snow can slow High Atlas passes and desert wind may shift camel timing, so we adjust for safety and keep you informed rather than pushing a fixed timetable. ### Why spread the route over four days? You gain guesthouse and town nights that break up the eastbound drive and let you walk Todra properly. Camp still includes sunset and sunrise on Erg Chebbi with less fatigue on arrival at the dunes. The pace is built around real activity time on sand, gorges or trails rather than long guided city tours, which keeps the trip adventure-focused for your group size. ### Do we visit Rissani market? If your day two timing aligns with market days, your driver can stop at Rissani souk before Merzouga. Tell us when you enquire if market visits matter to you and we will plan around opening times. Share any questions when you enquire and we confirm practical details when your booking is accepted so the first morning runs smoothly for your group. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Erg-Chegaga-5-19-1.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 5 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
