From Marrakech, cross the High Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou, the gorges and the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi in Merzouga. Choose a round trip back to Marrakech, a one-way route to Fes, or a complete grand tour of Morocco, always private with your own driver-guide and planned by our local team from Rissani, near Merzouga.
For the real Sahara dunes, go to Merzouga. The 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga tour is the classic first choice, and the 5-day round trip adds a second desert night at an easier pace. If you fly out of Fes, choose the 5-day or 7-day Marrakech to Fes tour. For all of Morocco, the 9-day Imperial Cities loop starts and ends in Marrakech.
Every tour is private. Choose your comfort level, then we adjust the route, hotels and pace to you.

Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes are about 550 km from Marrakech, around 9 to 10 hours of driving without stops. That is why a desert trip from Marrakech takes at least 3 days, with a night in the Dades Valley or the Todra area on the way. Zagora is closer, but it has only small dunes; for the tall golden dunes of the Sahara, Merzouga is the place to go.
Round trips bring you back to Marrakech, which is easiest with return flights. One-way tours to Fes save a long drive back and suit travelers flying home from Fes. Grand tours like the 10-day Marrakech to Casablanca cover the north, the imperial cities and the coast as well.
Short on time? We also run private day trips to Ait Ben Haddou, Essaouira, the Ouzoud Falls, the Ourika Valley and Imlil.
At least 3 days to reach the Merzouga dunes and come back. For a relaxed trip with two desert nights, choose 4 or 5 days.
