Sahara Desert tours from Marrakech
The Erg Chebbi dunes, reached on a two or three day trip over the Atlas and through the Draa Valley.
Three-day tours are the standard: Ait Ben Haddou and Ouarzazate on day one, the Todra Gorge and a desert camp on day two, sunrise over the dunes on day three.
It is a long way, roughly nine hours of driving each way, so anything sold as a one-day Sahara trip is going to Agafay or Zagora instead.
