About this activity
Cross the High Atlas from Marrakech to the Sahara over three days, visiting Ait Ben Haddou and Todra Gorge, then ride camels into the Erg Chebbi dunes for a night in a desert camp before ending in Fes.
Agafay is a rocky desert rather than a sand one, close enough for an evening. The real dunes are at Zagora and Merzouga, which need at least two days.
The activity itself runs for about 5 hours, and you should allow roughly 15 hours in total once travel to and from the meeting point is counted. You meet at Marrakech (hotel or riad pickup). It is run in English and French and Spanish.
It suits couples, groups, families, kids under 12. The pace is demanding, so a reasonable level of fitness helps. It is weather dependent, so book early in your trip and you will have days spare if the sea gets up.
Sunset. Multi-day; sunrise & sunset camel rides; early starts.
