FAQS:

What is the best desert tour from Marrakech?

The best desert tour from Marrakech depends on how much time you have. The 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour is the most popular, as it allows you to experience the majestic dunes of Erg Chebbi, ride camels, and sleep in a luxury desert camp under the stars. If you have more time, the 4-day or 5-day desert tours offer a deeper and more relaxed exploration of Morocco’s desert landscapes and kasbahs.

Can you do a day trip to the desert from Marrakech?

Technically, you cannot reach the real Sahara Desert on a day trip from Marrakech because it is too far away. However, you can take a day trip to the Agafay Desert, located just 40 minutes from Marrakech. Agafay offers a desert-like experience with rocky landscapes, camel rides, quad biking, and stunning views of the Atlas Mountains.

Is it worth going to the Sahara Desert in Morocco?

Absolutely! Visiting the Sahara Desert is one of Morocco’s most unforgettable experiences. Watching the sunset and sunrise over the dunes, riding camels through the sand, and spending a night in a luxury desert camp create magical memories that last a lifetime.

What is the closest desert to Marrakech?

The Agafay Desert is the closest desert to Marrakech, located about 30–40 km southwest of the city. It is a rocky desert, not sandy like the Sahara, but it offers a great short escape for travelers who want a taste of the desert without a long drive.

Is the Sahara Desert close to Marrakech?

Not exactly. The Sahara Desert is about 560 km away from Marrakech. The journey to the dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga takes around 8 to 10 hours by road, usually split over two days with an overnight stop in Dades Valley or Ouarzazate.

How long does it take to get to the desert from Marrakech?

It takes roughly 8 to 10 hours to reach Merzouga, where the famous Sahara dunes are located. Most desert tours spread the trip over multiple days to make it comfortable and enjoyable, with scenic stops along the High Atlas Mountains, Ait Ben Haddou, and the Dades Gorges.

How do I get from Marrakech to the desert?

The easiest and most comfortable way is to join a private or small-group desert tour from Marrakech. Your driver-guide will take you across the Atlas Mountains, through valleys and kasbahs, all the way to the Sahara. You can also rent a car, but a guided tour offers local expertise and a hassle-free experience.

Where is the best desert in Morocco?

The Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga are considered the best desert in Morocco for their stunning golden sand dunes and authentic desert atmosphere. Another great option is Erg Chigaga, a more remote and wild area near M’Hamid, perfect for travelers seeking adventure and tranquility.
