DAY 4

Sahara – Atlas – Marrakech

Erg Chebbi → Marrakech

Those who wish can rise early to watch sunrise on the dunes: an unforgettable spectacle of light and silence. Breakfast and return to Marrakech, arriving around 7:30 pm. Accommodation included (dinner not included). *The return from the desert to Marrakech can be done by flight with limited departures — ask our agent.

Optional: domestic flight from Errachidia to Marrakech to avoid the long road transfer (subject to availability with Ryanair or Royal Air Maroc). For those who prefer a shorter 4-day, 3-night itinerary, it's possible to take an international flight the same day from Marrakech from 10:00 PM, or from Errachidia with more flexible schedules.
