Sahara Desert in Marrakech — FAQ
How many days do you need for a Sahara tour from Marrakech?
The Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga are a 3-day/2-night trip; the closer Zagora dunes can be done in 2 days. The distance over the Atlas makes a day trip impossible.
What is included in a Sahara desert tour?
Most tours include transport over the Atlas, stops at Ait Benhaddou and the Todra or Dades gorges, a camel trek into the dunes and an overnight in a desert camp with dinner and breakfast.
Which is better, Merzouga or Zagora?
Merzouga (Erg Chebbi) has the classic tall golden dunes and is worth the extra day; Zagora is closer and faster but the dunes are smaller. For the iconic Sahara, choose Merzouga.
