Reaching the Sahara from Marrakech is a bucket-list journey. This guide covers the key decisions so you can plan with confidence.

Merzouga vs Zagora

Zagora is closer (2 days) with smaller dunes; Merzouga (3 days) offers the huge, cinematic Erg Chebbi dunes and a far better camp experience.

How Many Days Do You Need?

Two days works for a quick taste; three days is the sweet spot for Merzouga and lets you enjoy the scenery without rushing.

What It Costs

Prices vary with comfort level, group size and camp quality. A private tour with a luxury camp costs more but is far more comfortable and flexible.
