Southeastern Morocco Tours provide an immersive experience through one of the country’s most stunning and culturally rich regions. Unlike the more touristic areas, southeastern Morocco offers hidden treasures: remote sand dunes, timeless kasbahs, lush palm oases, and welcoming Berber villages.
This 7-day itinerary starts and ends in Marrakech, taking travelers through the majestic High Atlas Mountains and into the Draa Valley, where thousands of date palms line the riverbanks. You’ll visit iconic landmarks like Ait Ben Haddou—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—before heading south to lesser-known towns such as Zagora, M’Hamid, and Tata.
The highlight of many Southeastern Morocco Tours is an overnight stay in the vast dunes of Erg Chigaga, where you’ll ride camels at sunset, dine under a sky full of stars, and listen to traditional music around the campfire. These experiences go beyond sightseeing—they connect you deeply to Morocco’s desert culture and natural beauty.
Along the way, you’ll explore the ancient Koranic library of Tamegroute, watch artisans make pottery using age-old techniques
