The Best 2-Day Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga Desert

Necessary information About our 2 day trip from Marrakech to Merzouga

1: Long Drive

• It will be a 9- to 10-hour drive from Marrakech, a full traveling day with some stops on the way. If time allows, take a 3 day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga to enable more time to explore the place.

2: Comfortable Clothing

• Wear comfortable and breathable clothes throughout the journey. It is always good to wear clothes in multiple layers because the temperature has a great difference at night and day, especially in deserts.

3: Sun protection

• The desert sun can be pretty intense at times. Please bring sunglasses, sunscreen and hats during and before your ride and other various outdoor activities.

4: Cash for Personal Expenses

• By now, all but a few expenses are paid for so having extra cash for personal purchases or tips or on optional excursions – like ATV quad biking is a good idea.

5: Luxury Desert Camp Experience

• Enjoy overnighting in the luxurious desert camp with a private tent offering comfort and services. It is an original activity in traditional Berber clothes with a touch of modernity.

6: Camel Ride

• Be prepared for 1 hour 30 min camel trek in each way. Camels are generally very gentle but can take some getting used to. Comfortable shoes and clothes are suggested for the ride.

7: Water

• Though the meals are available, one should not forget to carry enough water and some snacks along, specifically during the long drive.

8: Sahara Desert Temperatures

The desert can be hot during the day and gets cold during night. Bring a light jacket along, especially if you go there during cooler months of the year.

9: Optional Desert Activities

• Quad biking in Merzouga promises a different type of look at the desert dunes: more sporting, one may say.

10: Tailor-Made Tour

• This tour is customizable for just your group and departure date. Contact our Morocco tour company for more details and personal pricing.

11: Luggage Space

• With large space in the minivan and 4×4 vehicles, this would mean that you needn’t carry any light luggage; everything could be taken together inside during the tour.
