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.

Why Merzouga

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.

How long do you need?

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.

What is included?

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.
