Ouarzazate to Merzouga desert in 2 days

How long does it take to get to the desert of Merzouga from Ouarzazate?

The drive from Ouarzazate to Merzouga Desert takes about 5 hours and 28 minutes. However, on your way to the Sahara Desert, you will make stops to enjoy panoramic views and take a walk in the Todgha Gorges, so you will arrive in Merzouga about 1.5 hours before sunset.

What type of vehicles are used for the 2 days Ouarzazate desert tour?

That’s a great question! The type of vehicle we use depends on the size of your group. We have different options available such as the 4×4 vehicle, Van 8-seater, and a minibus (ideal for groups ranging from eight to seventeen passengers), along with other comfortable car choices.

How long does the camel ride last?

The camel ride into the desert usually takes 1 to 1.5 hours each way (depending on the camp’s location in the dunes). You will also have time to enjoy the sunset during the trip.

Can I skip the camel ride to the desert camp?

Absolutely! If you’re not interested in camel riding, we have an alternative option for you. You can enjoy a comfortable ride in a 4×4 vehicle at no additional charge, and we will transport you to the camp without any hassle. Your satisfaction is our top priority!

Is the desert camp comfortable?

Desert camps vary, but most provide basic amenities, such as a comfortable bed, blankets, and a private tent. Luxury camps might include modern features like private bathrooms and gourmet meals. Standard camps are simpler but still offer a unique and cozy desert experience.
