Tour from Marrakech to desert

One of the last things that comes to mind while thinking about Morocco is stargazing. However, it is an ideal site because, while most of us live in locations with high population density and light pollution, which interfere with the natural starry sky, there are portions of Morocco that have no city lights. The sand dunes of Merzouga Erg Chebbi are one of Morocco's most stunning and unusual stargazing spots.

Try a camel ride into the Sahara for an unforgettable night of stargazing under one of the desert's most stunning skies. In the Sahara, the stars are stunning, but the sky is overcast.

5 DAYS DESERT ASTRONOMY

Morocco's latitude is also crucial. At +30 degrees, it's close enough to the equator to see southern hemisphere constellations that you won't see in central Europe. If you time your trip correctly, you can see passing meteor showers, Saturn's rings, and distant galaxies like Andromeda, 2.5 million light years away.

Morocco Astronomy Tour for 5 Days includes exploration of Moroccan geology and culture. Welcome to this one-of-a-kind and exclusive opportunity to explore the sky of Southern Morocco at night!

DAY 1 : MARRAKECH - OUARZAZATE - ALNIF

DAY 2 : ALNIF - MERZOUGA DESERT

Today we visit fossil quarries to collect fossils, primarily trilobites, and spend the evening in a hotel near Merzouga's Erg Chebbi sand dunes. After dinner, there will be a lecture about astronomy in nomadic tribal culture, such as Berbers, Bedouins, and Touregs, as well as mythology and beliefs.
