It is not a day trip
Merzouga is far from Marrakech. To genuinely experience the desert, accept the driving time and multiple stops.
The route is part of the trip
Landscapes change dramatically through the Atlas, valleys, kasbahs and desert zones.
Allow at least two nights
A three-day, two-night itinerary is still fast but far more coherent than a compressed return trip.
Frequently asked questions
Agafay or Merzouga?
Agafay suits a half-day; Merzouga is a true journey into the Sahara.
