choosing a three day Sahara desert tour to Erg chebbi dunes in Merzouga, means sitting in the car long for ten hours on the day from Merzouga to Marrakech. We recommend a minimum of 4 days for a Desert Tour from Marrakech to Marzouga to break the long journey each way and have time to explore the sites along the way.The 4 and 5 Days Sahara Desert Tour to Marzouga dunes and back to Marrakech are highly recommended simply because there are so many things to discover and do besides camel trekking and a night stay in a deep Sahara desert luxury camp. Arriving early to the hotel at the foot hills 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, spend more time of sites…
