Overview

We recommend a minimum of 4 days for a Desert Tour from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi to break the journey each way and have time to see the sites along the route. The 4 Days Sahara Desert Tour to Erg Chebbi dunes and back to Marrakech are highly recommended simply because there are so many things to see and do besides camel trekking and a night stay in a deep Sahara desert camp. Arriving early at the hotel at the foothills of Erg Chebbi dunes, enjoy a cup of tea, see some nomads living in caves, wander with a local guide in palmary or hike in Dades valley or Todra gorges, and spend more time in sites.

What's included

  • Private transportation
  • Camel treck
  • Sandboarding
  • 2 Overnight in a traditional riad
  • 1 Overnight in nomad tent in Merzouga desert camp
  • 3 Dinner + 3 Breakfast
