Private 6-day tour from Marrakech, from the desert to the ocean: Aït Ben Haddou, Dades, Todra, a night in the Merzouga dunes, Agadir, Taroudant, the argan country and Essaouira.
From the desert to the Atlantic beaches: this 6-day private tour brings together both faces of southern Morocco. You begin with the road of the kasbahs, Aït Ben Haddou, the Dades and Todra gorges and a night in the Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga. Then you head west to Agadir and the ocean, Taroudant and its ochre ramparts nicknamed little Marrakech, the argan-tree road and finally Essaouira with its white medina, fishing port and seafood. Surfing is possible in Taghazout or Essaouira. The perfect way to end a desert trip with your feet in the water.
