3-day Merzouga tour
Merzouga lies next to the Erg Chebbi dunes, about 550 km from Marrakech by road, which is why tours last several days and spend many hours on the road. Before choosing, check how much time you'll really spend in the desert, where you'll sleep and what the price includes.
In short
- It only works if you have room: it takes three days of your trip.
- Much of the time is spent on the road; check this in the listing.
- Compare the type of accommodation, the meals included and the return time.
How it's usually organised
Three days means two nights away from Marrakech and many hours on the road: about 550 km each way. The route, the stops and where you sleep vary from tour to tour; check whether any of the nights is by the dunes or in a nearby village.
