2 Days 1 Night Desert Tour from Marrakech to Mhamid
This 2-day desert tour from Marrakech to the Erg Lihoudi dunes in M’hamid is perfect for travelers who don’t have much time but still want to feel the beauty and magic of the Sahara. The tour includes a camel ride, a night in a desert camp, and an evening with traditional Berber music.
You will also cross the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, visit the famous Ait Benhaddou Kasbah (UNESCO site), explore Ouarzazate, and see the green Draa Valley with its big palm groves. Other stops include Zagora, the village of Tamegroute, and finally the Erg Lihoudi dunes.
This tour is a great choice for those who can’t take a longer 3-day desert trip.
Day 1: Marrakech → Tizi n’Tichka Pass → Agdz → Zagora → M’hamid → Erg Lihoudi Dunes
Start your tour with a beautiful drive through the High Atlas Mountains, reaching 2,260 meters with amazing views. Continue through the Draa Valley and cross the Tizi n’Tnifift Pass (1,710 meters), an old caravan route used by traders coming from Timbuktu.
You will also see the largest palm groves in the region and stop in Tamegroute to visit its underground kasbah and famous Koranic library.
Your day ends in M’hamid, where you will stay in a traditional Berber camp with nomad-style tents near the Erg Lihoudi dunes.
Day 2: Erg Lihoudi Dunes → Zagora → Agdz → Ait Benhaddou → Marrakech
Wake up early to watch the sunrise over the dunes, then enjoy breakfast at the camp.
Take a camel ride back to M’hamid, where your 4WD vehicle will be waiting. Drive again through the Draa Valley toward Agdz, discovering more of southern Morocco’s landscapes.
Continue to Ait Benhaddou, a beautiful fortified village with old kasbahs. Visit the site, then have lunch in a local restaurant.
In the afternoon, drive back to Marrakech through the High Atlas Mountains, arriving around 6:00 PM.

1. What’s the difference between a private and a shared tour?
The main difference is the vehicle. In a shared tour, you only share the transportation. Your room and tent stay private, and you can also eat separately if you prefer.
Another difference is that private tours are always guaranteed — once you book, the tour is confirmed.
Shared tours depend on demand and need at least 4 people. If the minimum is not reached, you can choose a free cancellation or continue as a private tour with a special price.
2. Is vegetarian or vegan food available?
Yes, we can prepare vegetarian or vegan meals. Just tell us during the booking, and remind your driver during the tour.
3. Can I reach the camp without riding a camel?
Yes, you can. The camp has a 4×4 car that transports luggage and guests who don’t want to ride camels, or who prefer to ride only once.
If you booked a private tour, your 4×4 vehicle can take you directly to the camp if needed.
4. Does the camp have private bathrooms?
Yes. Our camp is a luxury camp, and all tents have private bathrooms and showers. We include this in our basic packages without a big extra cost.
5. Can I bring my luggage on the tour?
Yes, you can bring your luggage. Our vehicles have plenty of space for large suitcases. Your luggage stays with you at all times, and in the desert, a 4×4 car will take it safely to your tent at the camp.
How to Pay for the Tour:
To confirm your tour or activity, we require a small deposit paid through PayPal to our group coordinator. The remaining balance is paid in cash at pick-up, directly to your driver, in euros or the equivalent amount in dirhams.
Credit Cards:
We do not accept credit card payments. Credit cards are not very practical in Morocco, and they come with high fees and some security risks.
Paying the Total Amount with PayPal:
We usually request the balance in cash because PayPal has high transaction fees and delays for international transfers. In some cases, we can accept full payment by PayPal, but a 5% fee will be added to cover extra charges. If you prefer this option, please arrange it with us before the tour date.
