Join us on a magical 1-day excursion from Merzouga to Todra Gorges. Todra valley is one of Morocco’s most enchanting natural wonders. This 1-day trip is a perfect way to discover a new side of southern Morocco beyond the Desert dunes.
This tour is ideal for travelers who want to make the most of their time in the region. From the golden dunes of the Sahara Desert of Merzouga to the giant cliffs of the Todra canyon, every stop offers a new insight into the genuine beauty of Morocco.
Todra Gorges is a must-see destination for all adventurers, nature lovers, hikers, and photographers. These massive canyons rise up to 300 meters, creating a dramatic and narrow gorge where a small river flows through.
In addition to the beautiful scenery, the area is home to Berber families living in nearby villages. Once there, you’ll see traditional houses, local nomads, and palm groves, giving you insight into rural life in Morocco. It’s also a great place to relax, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and perhaps enjoy a hike in the mountains.
Our 1-day trip from Merzouga to Todra valley starts in the morning. We will leave Merzouga after breakfast and travel in a comfortable vehicle through Erfoud, a small desert town and Tinjdad via the semi-desert landscapes. Before our arrival in Todra gorges, we will make a stop at Tinghir Oasis to enjoy and take pictures of that beautiful palm oasis.
Upon reaching Todra Gorges, we will have free time to walk through the canyon, take photos of the spectacular cliffs, and enjoy the calm natural beauty of the valley. If you feel adventurous, there are some adventure and activities like Mountain climbing with ropes or Hiking with a local tour guide.
Following that, We will have lunch at a local restaurant near the valley and relax.
After our Moroccan, we are still going to have some time to walk around, take pictures, or perhaps chill at a Café before we start our journey back to Merzouga. Once we are back in Meezouga, our 1-day trip concludes and we will drop you off at your accommodation
