VISIT MAGHREB / Morocco Desert Tours to Merzouga & Erg Chebbi
Desert tours in Morocco, done properly: from Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, Tangier or Agadir to the dunes of Erg Chebbi near Merzouga. Camel ride at sunset, a night in a desert camp, sandboarding and music by the fire — with your own driver, in your own vehicle.
Erg Chebbi near Merzouga has the high sand dunes — up to 150 m — that most travellers picture when they think of the Sahara. Zagora, by comparison, has low, stony dunes and a much shorter drive.
The minimum that works from Marrakech is 3 days and 2 nights: about 560 km each way, 9–10 hours of driving split over two days. From Fes, 2 days is enough for the desert itself.
Private transport with driver, pick-up and drop-off, hotels and the desert camp, half board, the camel ride at sunset and sandboarding. Lunches, drinks, tips and travel insurance are not included.
About 560 km, 9–10 hours of driving, split over two days via the Tizi n'Tichka pass (2,260 m), Ait Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley.
