Most travellers choose the 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour: two nights (Dades Valley and a Sahara camp), a camel trek into Erg Chebbi and the return to Marrakech. If you prefer more comfort, the luxury version uses a camp with private bathrooms. Continuing north? The Marrakech to Fes desert tour ends in Fes, and the 4-day tour adds a full day in the dunes.

For most travellers, the 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga tour is the best balance of time and experience. Choose 4 days for a slower pace, or the luxury tour for a private en-suite tent.
Not the real dunes: Merzouga is 9–10 hours away. In one day you can visit the Agafay stone desert near Marrakech or Aït Benhaddou, but the Erg Chebbi sand dunes need at least 3 days.
Every tour can be made private and adapted to your dates, pace and budget.
