Different Desert Destinations: Merzouga, Zagora and Erg Chegaga Sahara Dunes:

Erg Chebbi Sahara Dunes in Merzouga:

The Morocco desert tour to Erg Chebbi in Merzouga can perfectly arranged in 3 days and 2 nights. However it is highly recommended to take at least 4 days desert tour to the Erg Chebbi dunes as you take time to enjoy the sites along the way and avoid the long drive on the last leg of your 3 days desert desert from Merzouga desert dunes to Marrakech (565km distance from Marrakech and it is a 10hour drive). Erg Chebbi Sahara dunes is well established, developed and has easy access and this ease of access result in higher visitor numbers, and the feeling of being less remote. The camel trek to desert camp takes 1hour and 30 minutes.

Erg Chegaga Sahara Dunes near M'hamid:

A Sahara desert tour From Marrakech to Erg Chegaga sahara dunes is a 415km distance from Marrakech and it takes about 9 hour drive. It is being considered to be a newer destination unlike the Erg Chebbi irrespective of the absence of hotels. What you find are the standard camps and luxury tents. This destination would prove difficult to access without a 4x4 car, due to the fact that it is off the road. Erg Chegaga is a much more recent tourist destination, however, it still has the upper hand over Erg Chebbi. The tour to Erg Chegaga is fascinating, you will visit the world heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou along the way and then follow the Draa Valley with its many oases & crumbling Kasbahs dotted along the way. The dunes are not as big as out at Erg Chegaga, but the desert is somehow more vast and wild here.

Marrakech to Zagora Desert:

Marrakech desert tour 2 days to Zagora does not actually offer a real desert experience compared to the Erg Chegaga nor the Erg Chebbi, but it is always a good option from Marrakech. For you to perfectly achieve an enjoyable desert tour to Zagora desert from Marrakech, it will take you 2 days and one night to stay in the desert camp in the tent which takes about an hour ride. It can be assessed easily and it is a distance of about 350 kilometers and a 7 hour drive.

Most Frequently Asked Questions:

Do you organize large group desert tours with daily departures ?

After a couple months of organizing the large group tours with daily departures, we realized these tours do not meet our standards of quality and usually end up with unsatisfactory service and quality complaints. The low prices advertised by most agencies offering this type of tours are usually a trap and are compensated by low quality services, from unqualified drivers, No A/C in the cars, forced shopping stops and extra hidden charges, to low cost accommodations. we feel that it's not the right way to treat our dear clients and it's not the image of our country we want to advertise and reflect. We still organize small group tours amongst our own clients when we have similar requests and the groups are limited to 6 people to ensure maximum attention from the driver and guides.

Do your Morocco Tours still go out if it rains?

Yes our Sahara Desert Tours do go out if the rain falls however depending on how the Atlas Mountains road condition is. Once you inquire about the trip, we will respond according to the road and weather condition at that time.
