Overview of the 2-Day Merzouga Tour
Short on time but determined to reach the great dunes of Erg Chebbi? This express tour takes you from Marrakech to Merzouga and back in two days, with a camel trek and a night in the desert near Fes, Morocco — Wikipedia. Our Unique Private 4-Day Marrakech Desert Tour offers a similar quick option.
Day 1: Marrakech to Merzouga
A long but scenic drive crosses the Atlas via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, passing Chefchaouen — Wikipedia and Ouarzazate, reaching Merzouga by late afternoon for a camel trek to your desert camp. Our 4-Day Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga includes the dune night.
Day 2: Merzouga Back to Marrakech
After sunrise over the dunes, you return to Marrakech, arriving in the evening. It’s a whirlwind, but you’ll have touched the real Sahara.
Is This Tour Right for You?
It suits travelers with tight schedules who still want the Erg Chebbi dunes. If you have an extra day, the 3-day version is more relaxed. See our 3-Day Desert Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga and the 2-Day Marrakech Desert Tour to Merzouga page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you reach the big dunes in 2 days from Marrakech?
Yes, this express tour reaches the tall Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga, but it involves long driving days, so a 3-day tour is more comfortable if time allows.
Is the 2-day tour too rushed?
It’s fast-paced with significant driving on both days. If you can spare a third day, the experience is far more relaxed.
Does the 2-day tour include a camel trek?
Yes, you ride a camel into the dunes at sunset and spend the night at a desert camp before returning the next day.
Can I upgrade the camp on a 2-day tour?
Yes. Luxury tents are available even on the express tour, just request an upgrade via the booking form.
