3 Days Desert Tour From Marrakech To Merzouga

Q: Is this tour private or shared?

All our Morocco tours are available as private experiences, giving you flexibility, comfort, and personalized service. Your private driver/guide, vehicle, and schedule allow you to explore Morocco at your own pace. Shared tours may be available upon request.

Q: What type of accommodation is included?

We carefully select authentic riads, charming hotels, and luxury desert camps to ensure comfort and quality. In the Sahara Desert, you can expect a fully equipped camp with private tents, comfortable beds, and private bathrooms (for luxury options). Upgrades are available upon request.

Q: Is camel trekking mandatory in the Sahara Desert?

No, camel trekking is optional. While many travelers enjoy riding camels across the dunes for a traditional Sahara experience, we also offer a 4x4 transfer to the desert camp for those who prefer more comfort.

Q: What should I pack for a Morocco desert tour?

We recommend bringing comfortable clothing, walking shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. For desert tours, pack a small overnight bag, as well as warm layers during winter months since desert nights can be cold. Don’t forget your camera to capture the incredible landscapes.

Q: Are meals included in the tour package?

Most of our multi-day tours include daily breakfasts and dinners, especially during desert stays. Lunches and drinks are usually not included to allow flexibility in choosing restaurants along the route.
