Itinerary
Telouet is a set of mountains with snowy peaks, valleys, and plateaus. It is the territory of origin of the Glaouas, the old caïds who then reigned over the entire southern region and who was called the “lords of the Atlas”. Telouet is home to their home, a splendid kasbah built in the 19th century. A citadel symbol of strength and prestige brings together both a stately residence and a military command post to control the caravan trail and the entire region. The Kasbah of Telouet was an impressive ensemble: fortress, castle, and caravanserai. This fascinating jewel combines typical Amazigh architecture and the more oriental, Hispano-Moorish style, which testifies to the image of grandeur that the old masters wanted to display to the world. The beautifully decorated walls, and the ceilings adorned with rich designs and patterns show the luxury in which lived the Glaoua, owners of the casbah abandoned since 1956.
The Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, much as certain Boxed stars, this UNESCO-protected Kasbah seems suspiciously frozen in time. With Hollywood touch-ups, it still resembles its days in the 11th century during the Almoravid caravansary. Movie buffs recognize this red mud-brick Kasbah, from Lawrence of Arabia, Jesus of Nazareth, Jewel of the Nile ( as well as the Egyptian towers, and Gladiator).
The beautiful Rose Valley and thousands Kasbahs road.
Beautiful Mountain Formation & gorge
Wonderful natural & huge mountain gorge with Kasbahs on the mountain side and the palm grove on the valley.
The highest sand dunes in Sahara Desert.

Most memorable experience was the camel ride at sunset in the Merzouga Desert sand dunes. Then camping in the luxury camp site was fantastic, you could see several star constatations! Other than that, I had a fantastic driver who was knowledge and personable. Would highly recommend him for any English speaker!

We went to Merzouga on a 3 day tour. Our guide Omar and the driver Zacharia were absolutely fantastic. Omar, knowing all the corners along the way, was adjusting the journey according to what he perceived to be our interests. The trip exceeded our expectations, allowed us to visit the desert and have an idea of the diversity of Moroccan landscapes. We stayed 7 days in Morocco and want to go back, because there was a lot left to see and do, and we counted on Omar. Do not fail to order a meal with "Pizza Berbere"
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are glad to know that you did fully enjoyed your 3 Days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga Desert with us. We hope see you soon again in Morocco!
I traveled with my husband and my 10-year-old son and everything went perfectly. A very intense 3-day trip with fantastic landscapes that change along the way from the great mountains of the Atlas to the dunes of the Sahara. Our guide Maria and our driver Khalid make a fantastic and unforgettable couple, always helpful and concerned about our well-being, did everything to make this trip fantastic. I recommend!
Hello, We are glad to read your review and know that you enjoyed your Morocco desert tour. Maria & Khalid Greetings from Sahara desert
We made our booking even in Portugal, considering prices/quality and reading reviews.We made a 3 day tour and it was fantastic, I went with my wife and my 10-year-old son. There travel is long and tiring, but both the guide and the driver did everything to please us and make our trip as pleasant as possible.The truth is that in the middle of the first day we were not 3 customers and 1 guide and 1 driver, but rather a family of 5 people, both the guide Miriam and the driver Khalid were super super professionals, and besides professionals we created a very strong connection and that is what makes a difference in a trip, especially when it is more than 1 day, they took us to know the Atlas, beautiful landscapes, the best restaurants, with traditional food and affordable prices, the hotel was very good and the experience in the desert was incredible, see the sunset, sing and dance around the fire, simply wonderful. I congratulate the Enterprise that organizes this tour, but especially Mariam and Khalid who have provided us with 3 fantastic days, and who from now on are not just guides, they are our friends. I recommend Enterprise and this guide and driver, professionalism and joy. Isn’t that what you want on a holiday? Chukran Louis
