Overview : 4 days tour itinerary from Marrakech to Merzouga desert
It takes 10 hours to drive from Merzouga to Marrakech on the final day of a three-day desert vacation to the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga. For this reason, we advise a minimum of 4 days for a desert tour from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi so that you can take breaks along the way and have time to visit the sights.
Simply because there are so many things to see and do in addition to camel trekking and a night spent in a deep Sahara desert camp, the 4 and 5 Days Sahara Desert Tour to Erg Chebbi dunes and back to Marrakech is highly recommended. Getting to the hotel early to enjoy a cup of tea, seeing some nomads living in caves, exploring the palmary with a local guide, going on a hike through the Dades Valley or the Todra Gorges, and spending more time at the sites, etc.
