Frequent asqued questions

What to do in Morocco?

Morocco offers a wide variety of experiences, from exploring historic cities like Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, and Tangier to discovering the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert. You can enjoy local food, visit traditional markets, explore ancient medinas, ride camels in the Erg Chebbi dunes, and spend a night in a desert camp.

How long is the camel ride to the camp?

Which airport is the closest to the Merzouga Desert?

The closest airport to Merzouga is Moulay Ali Cherif Airport in Errachidia (ERH), located about 130 km from Merzouga. Other popular airports for reaching the desert include Marrakech, Fes, and Ouarzazate, depending on your tour itinerary.

How long is Casablanca to Erg Chebbi dunes?

The journey from Casablanca to the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga is approximately 560–600 km and takes around 8 to 9 hours by car, depending on traffic, road conditions, and stops. Most travelers choose a multi-day desert tour so they can enjoy the attractions along the way.

How many days do you need in Morocco?

We recommend spending at least 7 to 10 days in Morocco to experience the country's highlights without rushing. A longer trip of 10 to 14 days allows you to combine imperial cities, the Atlas Mountains, and the Sahara Desert with more time to relax and explore.
