A Magical Journey Through the Moroccan Desert

This 4 days Marrakech to Merzouga was the best part of my hike. About Morocco, The 4 day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga desert was the best part of my trip in Morocco. From the pickup by our guide from Desert Excursion Morocco it was all smooth and very friendly and organized. We rode through the Atlas Mountains, Ait Ben Haddou and the Dades gorges and the landscape was stunning. The camel ride through the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi at sunset was otherworldly, while the night at the desert camp, under a brilliantly starry sky, felt like a dream.

Leonardo Lina

Incredible Adventure with Exceptional Service

This tour exceeded all expectations. Desert Excursion Morocco took excellent care of us all the way from Marrakech to Merzouga. The guide – Mohamed – was informed and made the trip seem safe and fun. Every stop along the way was filled with history and beauty from ancient kasbahs to rocky canyons. Our time in the desert was unforgettable, from riding camels across the dunes at sunset to sleeping in a cozy tent under the stars. The food was tasty and the experience was authentic as could be. Would step right back in a heartbeat!

Very Important Things to Know Before You Go

Helpful information about Morocco!

Pack for Different Climates

Morocco offers diverse weather across regions. Expect hot days in the desert, cool nights in the mountains, and moderate temps along the coast. Bring layers, a scarf or hat for sun protection, and a warm jacket for cooler evenings.

Cash is King in Rural Areas

While cities accept cards, many villages, desert stops, and local shops don’t. Bring enough Moroccan dirhams, especially for snacks, souvenirs, and tips along the way.

Be Respectful of Local Culture

Morocco is a Muslim country. Dress modestly, especially in rural areas and when visiting religious sites. Women may prefer wearing scarves in more conservative towns.

Desert Essentials

For the camel ride and desert stay, wear comfortable pants (not shorts), closed shoes or sandals, and bring a small backpack with water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a flashlight.

Internet May Be Limited

Wi-Fi is available in most hotels and riads, but don’t expect strong connections everywhere especially in the desert. Download maps and entertainment in advance.

Local SIM or Roaming Plan

If you need reliable communication or internet on the go, consider buying a local SIM card or ensuring your mobile plan covers Morocco.

Expect Some Long Drives

Morocco is a large country and this tour covers a lot. Enjoy the scenery, bring snacks, and consider a travel pillow for comfort on the road.

Tipping is Appreciated

Tipping your driver/guide, hotel staff, and local guides is a common and appreciated gesture in Morocco. Keep small bills for this purpose.

Be Open to Adventure

Part of what makes Morocco magical is its unpredictability. Be flexible, open-minded, and ready to experience real moments whether it’s dancing under desert stars or sipping mint tea with a nomadic family.

Stay Hydrated and Mind What You Eat

Traveling through different climates and regions especially the desert can dehydrate you quickly. Always carry a bottle of water (your driver can help you find clean bottled water on the way). When it comes to food, Moroccan cuisine is delicious, but it may be spiced differently than you’re used to. To avoid stomach upsets, ease into unfamiliar dishes, avoid raw foods in small roadside places, and consider bringing basic medication like probiotics or anti-nausea tablets just in case.
