3 Days Tour From Marrakech to Merzouga Desert
Description
Merzouga is a small town out on the edge of the Sahara Desert of Erg Chebbi. Merzouga is only 20 km away from Algerian border where the paved road ends and the real Sahara Desert sand dunes begin. Merzouga desert is the most common destination in Morocco for Camel treks and desert camps. To experience the Sahara desert dunes it is a must to take a camel trip and stay overnight in a berber tent or in a luxury camp. The camel trip takes approximately 1 hour through amazing red-orange sand dunes at sunset to reach the sahara desert camp where you will be served wonderful and rich dinner, enjoy a musical play with the staff around blazing fire. But note it is at least a ten hours drive from the erg chebbi dunes to Marrakech. The trip is possible in 3 days however we recommend a slow pace over 4 or 5 days.

Just got back from an lovely 3-day trip from Marrakech to the Merzouga Desert, and wow—what an experience! The drive through the Atlas Mountains and Berber villages was stunning, but the stop at Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou really blew me away. This 1,000-year-old village feels like something straight out of a movie (probably because it actually has been in a few!). Wandering through its ancient alleys was like stepping back in time. And then there was the camel ride into the desert—such a peaceful and beautiful experience. The dunes were so quiet and still. And watching the sunset deep in the desert was pure magic. The desert camp was very fun—great food, and music around the fire. Huge shoutout to our guides, who made the whole trip fun, easy, and unforgettable.
Very safe way to travel to the desert and see the Moroccan countryside. Our main guide and driver were great. Plenty of stops to stretch along the way.
We were a family group of 9 and were looked after so we'll. The minibus was clean and almost new, the driver and guide were kind, helpful and responsive. We stopped in beautiful places. The night in the desert was magical. Highly recommended.

Me and my friends embarked on a private tour which turned out to be wholesome. Our driver, Abdul, met us in the morning with the greatest smile on his face and proved to be an amazing guide and friend. Abdel was also an incredible guide when he joined us at the canyon. They both explained us all about Morocco and were truly an added value to the tour. The stops were breathtaking, and the landscape got more beautiful at every turn. The camel ride was incredibly fun and entertaining, and the Sahara dunes were unreal. The stays were very comfortable, both the hotel and the camping, and dinner/breakfasts were excellent. I had mentioned that it was my birthday and the guys prepared me a birthday cake, singing and dancing around the campfire. That was an unbelievable surprise which I would have never expected and it really made the day even more special. I think this also shows how kind and thoughtful the whole team is and the care they put in organising this experience. The drive back was also enjoyable, as we made multiple stops and could once again appreciate the beauty of Moroccan landscapes. Overall, this was truly an unforgettable experience that we will always cherish!
