Common questions
- How long does it take to get to Merzouga from Marrakech?
- It is roughly 9-10 hours of driving each way, broken up with stops. That is why a two-day trip feels rushed and three days is the common choice.
- Is a Merzouga tour better than Zagora?
- Merzouga has the classic tall Sahara dunes at Erg Chebbi. Zagora is closer and cheaper but the dunes are much smaller. If you want the postcard desert, go to Merzouga.
- What is included in a Merzouga desert tour?
- Transport, a camel trek into the dunes, dinner and breakfast, and a night in a desert camp are standard. Lunches and drinks are usually extra.
