Frequently Asked Questions About Tours
How do I get from Marrakech to Merzouga for the desert tour?
The most popular option is a private 4×4 transfer that leaves Marrakech at 07:30, crosses the High Atlas via the Tizi-n-Tichka pass, pauses in Aït Ben Haddou and the Dades Gorges, and reaches the B.P 51 Merzouga P.V. base by late afternoon the next day; if you prefer to fly, Royal Air Maroc operates a 45-minute hop to Errachidia, and our driver will pick you up at the airport for the 2-hour scenic drive to the dunes.
What is the actual rating of Merzouga Desert Tours and how can I contact them?
The company holds a 4.8/5 average across Google, TripAdvisor and Facebook based on more than 1,300 verified reviews, and you can reach them 24/7 on +212 6 71 15 33 11 or through the online form at https://www.merzougadeserttours.com/ where you’ll receive a reply within 15 minutes during daylight hours in Morocco.
Is one night in the desert enough or should I book two?
One night gives you the sunset camel trek, a star-lit dinner and sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes, but booking two nights lets you explore the fossil beds, visit a Gnawa music village, and still have downtime to sand-board or simply absorb the silence without feeling rushed back to Marrakech.
What should I pack for the desert, especially in winter?
Bring layers: breathable linen for the hot midday, a fleece or down jacket for winter nights that can drop to 0 °C, closed-toe shoes to keep sand out, a headlamp, and a power bank because the luxury camp tents have solar electricity but it’s limited after 23:00.
