3-Day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga

For a fulfilling experience in Merzouga, a brief visit of 1 to 2 days is sufficient to explore the mesmerizing desert landscape and its attractions. This duration allows you to engage in activities like camel trekking, watching the sunset over the dunes, and spending a night in a traditional Berber desert camp. If you have more time, extending your stay can provide deeper immersion into the local culture and additional opportunities for adventure.

A shared triple or quadruple room is included in the tour price. For a private room, please choose an upgrade (costs EUR 10 per person). Private rooms are AC and shared rooms are without AC

Both shared and private rooms at the hotel have private bathrooms.

When visiting Merzouga, it’s essential to take necessary precautions to ensure your safety and comfort. The desert environment can be harsh, so sun protection is crucial. Bring sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses to shield yourself from the intense sun. Staying hydrated is equally important, so carry plenty of water and drink regularly.

Comfortable shoes are a must for walking in the desert, and warm clothing is essential for the cool evenings, especially during the winter months. A basic first aid kit, including essentials such as bandages and antiseptic wipes, can be very handy in case of minor injuries.

The best way to get to Merzouga is by joining an organized 3-day tour from Marrakech. While there are buses available from both Marrakech and Fes that can take you directly to Merzouga, these options often miss the opportunity to fully experience the stunning landscapes and charming traditional Berber villages along the route. The organized tour offers a more immersive experience, allowing for multiple stops to explore the high Atlas Mountains, visit ancient kasbahs, and enjoy camel rides in the Sahara Desert. This way, you not only reach your destination but also enrich your journey with unforgettable experiences and picturesque views.
