Things to see on your 7-day desert tour from Marrakech itinerary in Morocco
Marrakech
One of the principal cities in the Moroccan kingdom is Marrakech, spelled in French. Just after Casablanca, it is the nation’s fourth-biggest city. The city is situated north of the Atlas Mountains’ snow-capped foothills. The Berber families have lived in Marrakech, one of Morocco most significant imperial cities, since ancient times. Abu Bakr ibn Umar founded the first city in 1062.
Similar to every other Moroccan city, Marrakech has an old city filled with stalls belonging to numerous vendors. One of the busiest cities in Africa, it is a popular tourist destination as well as an economic hub. Over time, the hotel and real estate sectors have prospered. The French have a strong affinity for Marrakech since they own real estate there. Get ready for the time of your life as you immerse yourself in Morocco rich cultural legacy in the vibrant city of Marrakech. The best time to visit this location is in the spring, from March to May, when prices are reasonable and the temperature is relatively cool.
Ouarzazate:
This well-known city, with its unique look reminiscent of a movie, has a wealth of architectural gems that you can discover and a wide range of traditional foods to savor while you’re in the area. The starting point for a trip to the vast south of Morocco to explore some castles and opulent palaces, dunes, and the genuine and traditional model that characterizes the lives of the inhabitants and villages in the area is Ouarzazate, a city situated between the Sahara desert and the green valleys, as well as between the past and the present.
Kasbah Ait Benhaddou:
It is situated 30 km northwest of the Moroccan city of Warzazat at the base of the Atlas Mountains, the natural entrance to the Sahara. Aite Ben Haddow is a prime example of a fortified tribal village, known as a rompiendo (collection of palaces). It was constructed entirely of native biological materials, including rich red clay, and dates back to the 17th century. Perched atop a small hill on the left bank of the Onella River, with a view of the valley where the main commercial route that connected Marrakech and the surrounding areas with the Atlas Mountains once passed through.
Boumalne Dades:
Boumalne Dades is one of the well-known sites you can see on an eight-day tour of Morocco departing from Marrakech for a variety of reasons.
The term Bou l’Male, which denotes a job and trade, particularly cattle, is thought to be the source of the name Boumalne Dades. The word Dades comes from the story of a Bedouin who arrived in Pomalan. Although the region was renowned for its abundance of fruits and vegetables, the tale goes that he was starving and could only eat if he paid a fine. But eventually, someone approached him and said, “Technology,” which is code for “here you can eat.” Later on, Dades was the expression.
Gorges of Todra:
The breathtaking Todra Gorge, also known as the Tudga Strait locally, is a natural oasis formed by the Todra River as it winds through limestone for centuries. It is located in the center of the Atlas Mountains, on a road that connects Marrakech to the Sahara desert. At 400 meters, the ancient accelerator almost resembles the valley walls (higher than the Empire State Building in New York).
One of Morocco best attractions for visitors is a paradise for photography enthusiasts, mountaineers, cyclists, and hikers. The chokehold was also featured on the US television show Impossible Journey and in the 2012 CTS Cadillac ad.
It is an ideal place to break the journey between Marrakech and Sahara during the night or 8 days in Morocco itinerary, but it gives way to a longer exploration.
Merzouga Desert:
Merzouga greatest attraction is the unparalleled desert experience she offers. Located on the edge of the desert, Marzouka is the perfect village to stay in while enjoying the beauty and nature of the desert. During your eight-day journey from Marrakech to Morocco, you will explore the Marzouka dunes.
Zagora
At the base of the Atlas Mountains, in the Draa River Valley, lies Zagora, a vast 200-kilometer-long palm grove encircled by fruit trees lost in the Saharan sands.
The Saadians established the old fortress Almoravid to dominate the Saharan trade during the Middle Ages. It served as a gateway for the conquest of Morocco and the Sahara and as a point of departure for caravans. Indeed, it is the birthplace of this dynasty. The French established the city and the kasbah as part of their protectorate to gain control over the area.

For what number of days is a trip to Morocco recommended?
Five days is enough to visit the two most significant imperial cities, Marrakech and Fes, and to travel the route of the thousand kasbahs slowly and without hurry. Explore every location listed in the preceding section about Morocco in just five days.
Is a week in Morocco Enough?
A common question is: Is one week in Morocco sufficient? “Yes” was the response. You can explore the Sahara desert and some incredible ancient cities in one week, but you’ll need longer to see all of Morocco. It might take you seven to ten days, though, if all you want to do is see the highlights.
It is always better to have more time. But even if you are only in Morocco for a few days, you will still have an amazing time.
