Morocco’s Deserts Explained

Merzouga – Erg Chebbi dunes

The classic Sahara: orange dunes up to 150 m high, camel treks at sunset and the best desert camps. Reached in 2–3 days from Marrakech or Fes.

Agafay desert

A rocky desert 40 minutes from Marrakech with Atlas views – perfect for a half-day or day trip with dinner and a camel ride.

Zagora & the Draa valley

Palm groves, kasbahs and smaller dunes on a shorter route from Marrakech: ideal for a 2–3 day desert escape.

FAQ

Sahara Desert Tours – FAQ

How many days do I need for a Sahara desert tour from Marrakech?

At least 3 days: the drive from Marrakech to Merzouga takes about 9–10 hours with stops, so a 3-day tour gives you one night in the desert. With 4 days you travel at a more relaxed pace and can add the Todra and Dades gorges.

Can I do a desert tour from Fes?

Yes. Fes is closer to Merzouga (about 7–8 hours). A 3-day Fes to Merzouga tour returning to Fes, or Fes to Marrakech via the desert, are both popular.

Is the Sahara cold at night?

From November to February desert nights can drop to 0–5°C, so bring a warm layer. Camps provide thick blankets. From May to September days are very hot – we plan early starts.

Is camel riding safe for children?

Yes. Our camel guides lead every camel on foot and the rides are short and slow. Families with children travel with us often.

What is the best time for a Morocco desert tour?

October to April is ideal, with warm days and clear starry nights. Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons.
