Overview
The ideal golf trip to Morocco begins and ends on the fairways of Marrakech, with the great south in between, and the 8 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech is designed around exactly that loop. A morning round and a guided city tour open the week, before the road crosses the High Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou, the Valley of Roses, the Dades Gorges and Todra Gorge on the way to a night among the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
The return follows the quieter southern route through Rissani, Alnif and the village of 45 kasbahs at N’Kob, before the Atlas brings you back to Marrakech for two more rounds. With three rounds of golf and the Sahara at its heart, this Marrakech golf and desert tour is a complete Morocco golf holiday with Sahara, starting and finishing at the same airport.

Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival in Marrakech ⇢ Hotel Transfer
A private driver waits at Marrakech Menara Airport to take you and your clubs to your hotel, the start of the 8 Days Golf Tour From Marrakech. The rest of the day is free to rest or explore.
In the evening, the square of Jemaa el-Fnaa comes alive with storytellers, musicians and food stalls below the Koutoubia minaret.
Day 2
Morning Golf ⇢ Marrakech City Tour
The first round begins in the cool of the morning, with palm-lined fairways and the white peaks of the High Atlas on the horizon. Caddies are available to guide you around the course.
In the afternoon, a licensed guide leads you through the red city: the Koutoubia Mosque, the Bahia Palace, the Saadian Tombs and the souks of the medina.
Day 3
Marrakech ⇢ Tizi n'Tichka ⇢ Ait Ben Haddou ⇢ Ouarzazate
The road climbs into the High Atlas to the Tizi n’Tichka pass at 2,260 m, with sweeping views over terraced Berber villages. On the southern side, Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO-listed ksar of mud-brick towers, rises above the river on the old caravan route.
The day ends in Ouarzazate, the gateway to the Sahara.
Day 4
Ouarzazate ⇢ Skoura ⇢ Valley of Roses ⇢ Dades Gorges
The Road of a Thousand Kasbahs leads through the Skoura palm oasis and Kelaat M’Gouna, the Valley of Roses, famous for its rose water and spring rose festival. In the afternoon, the road enters the Dades Gorges, where red cliffs line a dramatic hairpin road.
Day 5
Dades ⇢ Todra Gorge ⇢ Merzouga ⇢ Desert Camp
Morning brings Todra Gorge, where limestone walls rise up to 300 m above a clear stream. After a walk through the narrows, the road crosses the hamada to Merzouga.
In the late afternoon, a camel caravan carries you into the dunes of Erg Chebbi for sunset, followed by dinner, Berber drums and a night in a desert camp, the heart of this Marrakech golf and desert tour.
Day 6
Merzouga ⇢ Rissani ⇢ Alnif ⇢ N'Kob ⇢ Ouarzazate
After sunrise over the dunes, the road passes Rissani, the historic caravan market of the Tafilalt, and turns west on the quiet southern route. Around Alnif, the land is rich in trilobite fossils, and the dark volcanic peaks of Jbel Saghro rise to the north.
In N’Kob, the village of 45 kasbahs, earthen towers stand above a palm grove, before the road continues through the Draa region back to Ouarzazate for the night.
Day 7
Ouarzazate ⇢ Tizi n'Tichka ⇢ Marrakech ⇢ Afternoon Golf
The road crosses the High Atlas once more by Tizi n’Tichka and descends to Marrakech around midday. In the afternoon, a second round on a course among olive groves or palm trees offers a fine contrast with the desert landscapes of the past days.
Day 8
Morning Golf ⇢ Departure
The final morning of this Morocco golf holiday with Sahara is a last round in the cool early hours, before a private transfer to Marrakech Menara Airport for your flight home.
