Your 3 Days Desert Tour From Agadir To Merzouga begins with a morning pickup from your Agadir hotel. The first stop is Taroudant, a charming town often called the “Grandmother of Marrakech” for its resemblance to the historic city. Here, explore the ancient city walls, lively souks, and local crafts. Taroudant is particularly renowned for its jewelry, carpets, and a small traditional tannery producing leather goods like bags, sandals, and belts. A short stroll through the medina gives a glimpse of daily life in this historic town.
Next, journey to Taliouine, the heart of Morocco’s saffron production. Visit a local cooperative to see the delicate saffron harvesting process and have the opportunity to purchase authentic saffron directly from producers. The landscape here is dotted with terraced fields and low mountain ranges, offering stunning photographic opportunities.
From Taliouine, the route continues to Taznakht, famous for its handwoven carpets and rugs. Explore the workshops where artisans use traditional methods, natural dyes, and high-quality wool to craft designs that reflect Amazigh heritage. Each piece tells a story, combining earthy tones with intricate patterns that suit both floors and walls.
The day concludes with a visit to the iconic Kasbah Aït Benhaddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most impressive kasbahs along Morocco’s historic caravan routes. Wander its mud-brick alleys and imagine the countless films shot here, from Gladiator to The Mummy. Finally, reach Ouarzazate, known as the “Hollywood of Africa,” where you’ll check into your riad or hotel. Evening dinner and overnight are included.
