In short
Three days is the right length for a Sahara trip from Marrakech. It is the shortest tour that reaches Merzouga's Erg Chebbi dunes without spending most of the trip in the vehicle: two nights, one in the Dades Valley and one in a desert camp, with Ait Ben Haddou and the Todra Gorge on the way.

19 3-day desert tours, compared

Almost every 3-day desert tour from Marrakech follows the same road: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, Ait Ben Haddou, Ouarzazate, the Dades Valley, the Todra Gorge, then Merzouga. What differs is the group size, the camp, and how many stops the driver actually makes.

Some 3-day tours go to Zagora instead and spend the extra day in the Draa Valley. The listings below show the destination of each tour, so you can tell them apart before you compare prices.
