The essential Agadir desert escape. In three private, round-trip days with Morocco Boutique Tours, cross the High Atlas Mountains to the kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, wind through the Dades and Todra gorges, and spend a night camel trekking and camping beneath the dunes of Merzouga before returning to the Atlantic coast.
Your Morocco Boutique Tours driver-guide collects you from your Agadir accommodation for an early departure into the High Atlas Mountains. The route climbs through changing landscapes to Ait Benhaddou, the UNESCO-listed fortified kasbah of packed red earth made famous by countless film productions, for a guided walk through its ancient lanes. Continuing through Ouarzazate, Morocco's own "Hollywood," and along the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs through the rose-scented Skoura and Dades valleys, you'll arrive among the folded red cliffs of the Dades Gorge by evening.
After breakfast, walk beneath the sheer 300-meter limestone walls of the Todra Gorges, a dramatic canyon carved by a mountain river. The route continues through Erfoud, Morocco's fossil capital, as the landscape opens into the golden plains of the Sahara. Arriving at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, you'll swap your vehicle for a camel and trek across the sand waves for sunset, followed by a traditional Moroccan dinner and Berber drum music around the campfire at your luxury desert camp.
Rise early for a final sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes before breakfast at camp. The return journey passes through Rissani, the historic market town and birthplace of Morocco's ruling Alaouite dynasty, before crossing back through the Anti-Atlas via Ouarzazate, where you'll pause for lunch. Your driver-guide continues the drive down to the Atlantic coast, delivering you to your Agadir hotel or riad by evening.

Spring (March–May) and fall (September–November) offer the most comfortable temperatures across Morocco, including the Sahara sections of this itinerary. Summer brings intense desert heat, and desert nights turn cold in winter.
