For an experience of golden dunes within the Sahara Desert, Marrakech Sahara Desert tour 2 days is a fantastic opportunity to make the experience within a short span of two days. The adventure goes from the busiest streets of Marrakech into the quiet expanses of the desert, watching the most gorgeous sunrises, starry skies, and ancient traditions. Whether you have been here once or are on your first tour, this excursion promises to bring you the unforgettable experience blending the best that the different aspects of Moroccan beauty and culture could offer.
Day 1: Marrakech to Sahara Desert Trip
Your journey will start early in the morning, heading out of Marrakech towards the varied landscapes of Morocco. The drive is quite an adventure itself and gives a glimpse of the richness of diversity the country offers. Traveling through the Atlas Mountains, rugged terrain and constantly changing scenery leave one in awe. The mountains are sharply contrasted with the desert where the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas come to an end and the golden hue of the Sahara takes over.
Another pretty famous tourist spot, such as Ait Benhaddou recognised by UNESCO as well as entire fortified city listed in the list of filming in movies Gladiator and Game of Thrones, you should reach after being in the car for a couple of hours. Within its narrow passageways you can walk in and discover Kasbahs over a thousand years old. From Ait Benhaddou, you will continue driving to cross the valley of Draa. This is a lush oasis, contrasting greatly with the arid desert.
The sunset will bring you to the borders of the Sahara Desert. The small town of Merzouga is nearby, where one of the famous Erg Chebbi dunes is located, and it welcomes you at the start of your desert journey. You will receive traditional hospitality upon arrival, after which you’ll head to a desert camp for an overnight stay in a luxurious tent, amidst a star-lit sky. After a good dinner, appreciate the peaceful desert night—there’s nothing to beat the quietness and the splendor of the Sahara after dusk.
Day 2: Life in the Sahara and Return to Marrakech
Waking up in the Sahara Desert is just pure magic. The dunes are now touched by the first rays of the sun; they are colored orange and pink. For most, the summit of the Marrakech Sahara Desert tour 2 days was the opportunity to ride camels into the desert heart at sunrise. This camel trek provides for a true experience and serene ambiance of discovery throughout the expanse of the Sahara. Through giant dunes of sand, time stands still to leave one almost with a glimpse into history since it remains quite unchanged over its course of a few hundred centuries.
You will take your camel back to the desert camp for your breakfast and get ready to ride back to Marrakech. Before heading back you pass through one of the interesting natural wonders found in the place called Todra Gorge: its steep cliffs and crystal waters make it highly impressive. It is appropriate for people who find either the power or beauty in earth’s geological constructions. The final leg takes you through the beautiful Dades Valley with green palms and the rocky desert backdrop.
As you enter Marrakech, the energy of the city will welcome you to end your two-day adventure in the desert. But going back into busy streets, only memories of those vast and fabulous expanses remain in your heads in the Sahara forever. The tour 2-day Marrakech Sahara Desert blends adventure, a touch of a culture, along with natural aspects, giving each visitor a sense of one of the world’s most iconic views.
Marrakech Sahara Desert tour 2 days is great for one who has a short period of time to observe the beauty that these deserts be.
