In short
Most Merzouga tours are 3-day circuits from Marrakech: day one over the Tizi n'Tichka pass to Ait Ben Haddou and the Dades Valley, day two through the Todra Gorge to a camel trek and a night in an Erg Chebbi camp, day three the long drive back. From Fes it is 2 days. Shared tours are the cheapest; private tours let you stop where you want and pick a better camp.

Questions & answers

Merzouga · Erg Chebbi tours: frequently asked questions

How much do Merzouga tours cost?

Across 20 Merzouga tours with a published price on Travilto, prices run from €95 to €850 per person, with a median of €245. Private departures, luxury camps, and longer itineraries sit at the top of the range; shared group tours at the bottom. Prices are as published by each operator and are updated automatically.

How long are Merzouga tours?

The most common length is 3 days (17 of 27 tours listed here). Options range from 1 day to 6 days.

Is a 2-day tour to Merzouga from Marrakech worth it?

Rarely. Marrakech to Merzouga is about 560 km and 8–10 hours each way, so a 2-day tour spends roughly 20 hours in the vehicle for one evening in the dunes. If you only have two days from Marrakech, Zagora is the better desert. Merzouga works as a 2-day trip only from Fes, which is about 470 km away.

What is included in a Merzouga desert tour?

Almost always: transport, a driver, a camel trek into the dunes at sunset, one night in a desert camp with dinner and breakfast, and a hotel night on the way, usually in the Dades Valley. Lunches, drinks, local guides at Ait Ben Haddou, and tips are usually extra. Check whether the camp is standard or luxury — that is the biggest difference in price.
