This comprehensive 4 days Morocco itinerary is meticulously crafted to immerse you in breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and authentic cultural encounters, offering an unforgettable adventure across Morocco’s south.
Start your 4 days tour from Agadir with an early departure, heading to Taroudant, a small city often called Little Marrakech due to its ancient walls and bustling souks. After exploring this charming town, continue your journey through the High Atlas Mountains, where you’ll pass Berber villages and enjoy the scenic beauty of the mountain range.
Next, make your way to Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its kasbahs and dramatic landscape. Known for its appearances in films like Gladiator and Game of Thrones, this location is a must-visit. After visiting the kasbah, continue the drive towards Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara Desert. If you have time, visit the Taourirt Kasbah or the Atlas Film Studios before settling in for the night at a hotel in Ouarzazate.
After breakfast in Ouarzazate, depart for a scenic drive through Dades Valley, also known as the Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs. This stretch of road offers beautiful views of towering cliffs and traditional kasbahs that line the valley. Stop for photos at the most picturesque points and continue towards the Todra Gorge, a massive canyon that cuts through the High Atlas Mountains, with cliffs that rise to 300 meters on either side.
After exploring the gorge, drive to Merzouga, the main gateway to the Merzouga Desert. The landscape gradually changes as you approach the dunes of Erg Chebbi. On arrival, switch to camels for an authentic Agadir to Merzouga Desert tour, where you’ll ride into the vast desert, witnessing the sunset over the golden sands. After reaching the desert camp, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner under the stars and Berber music around the campfire, a perfect way to experience the magic of the Sahara.

Enjoy a cup of Moroccan tea and learn about their way of life. Next, head to Khamlia, a village famous for its Gnawa music, where you’ll enjoy a lively performance by the local musicians.
Continue to Rissani, an ancient town known for its bustling souks and authentic Moroccan atmosphere. Explore the market, filled with spices, dates, and handmade crafts. Then, drive through the desert landscapes to Alnif, a quiet village offering stunning views of the surrounding area. As you enter the Draa Valley, one of Morocco’s longest palm groves, take in the beautiful scenery before stopping at Agdz, an oasis town known for its kasbahs. Finally, arrive in Ouarzazate, where you’ll spend the night and relax after a day full of exploration.
On the last day of your Agadir to Marrakech desert trip, leave Ouarzazate early in the morning and drive through the High Atlas Mountains, passing the famous Tizi n’Tichka Pass at 2,260 meters. This road offers spectacular views of the rugged mountain range and traditional Berber villages dotting the hillsides. Along the way, stop for photos, enjoy some Moroccan tea with locals, and learn about the mountain lifestyle.
As you descend into the plains, you’ll notice the change in scenery as you approach the city of Marrakech. The vibrant colors and energy of the city will mark the end of your unforgettable 4 days Agadir to Marrakech via desert journey.
