Day 1

Skoura or Ouarzazate → Merzouga

Southern Morocco, one gorge visit and your first evening in the dunes.

Morning
Start from your agreed departure point
Begin in Skoura or Ouarzazate at the pickup location and time confirmed with your reservation. Set out through the changing landscapes of southern Morocco. Agree on the day’s route and any practical needs before leaving, especially if you are travelling with children.
On the outward journey
Discover Dadès or Todra Gorge
Visit either Dadès Gorge or Todra Gorge, according to the itinerary selected for your private trip. Enjoy the dramatic scenery and the opportunity to take photographs. The tour includes one of these gorge visits, not both; the exact stop and time available are confirmed in advance.
Lunch stop
Enjoy your first included meal
Pause for lunch during the journey. This is the first of the four meals included in the excursion and a chance to take a break before continuing towards Merzouga. Share dietary preferences when requesting the tour so any suitable arrangements can be confirmed before departure.
At the dunes
Camel ride and sandboarding in Merzouga
Arrive at the golden Sahara dunes for the desert part of your adventure. Enjoy a camel ride and the chance to try sandboarding on the sand. The duration and order of the activities are confirmed with the final programme. Ask about suitability and any alternative arrangements before booking.
Sunset & evening
Moroccan dinner and a night at camp
Take in the evening light over the dunes, then settle into your Merzouga desert camp. Enjoy an included Moroccan dinner and the calm of a night away from the city. Your tent type, bathroom facilities and any other camp arrangements are confirmed before you reserve; a luxury camp is not automatically promised.

Day 2

Sahara sunrise → return journey

A quiet morning in the desert, breakfast and the journey back.

Dawn
Watch the Sahara sunrise
Wake early for the chance to see the first light over the dunes. Allow a little time to enjoy the desert atmosphere and take photographs before breakfast. Sunrise visibility depends on the weather; the appropriate wake-up time follows the season and is arranged at camp.
Morning
Breakfast and departure from the desert
Enjoy your included breakfast, prepare your belongings and begin the return part of the trip. The arrangements for leaving the camp and joining the onward journey are confirmed with your itinerary. Keep essential items in a small overnight bag and ask in advance how larger luggage will be handled.
During the return
Lunch and a break on the road
Travel back through southern Morocco and stop for your included day-two lunch. Breaks and the sequence of stops depend on the agreed route and the day’s conditions. This is a travel day rather than a second full day of desert activities, so discuss the pace before confirming.
End of the excursion
Return to the agreed drop-off point
Complete the journey at the return point agreed when booking. Confirm whether your group will finish in Skoura or Ouarzazate and tell us about any onward travel plans. The return time is confirmed directly; do not plan a tight connection around an unconfirmed arrival estimate.
