FAQ’s
What is the best tour from Marrakech?
The best tour from Marrakech depends on your time. For most first-time visitors, a 7 to 10-day tour from Marrakech via Aït Benhaddou, Ouarzazate, the Dadès Valley and the Merzouga dunes combines the Sahara Desert, the Atlas Mountains and the kasbahs of southern Morocco. With only 3 days, a desert tour from Marrakech to Fes is the quickest way to reach the Sahara. MT Morocco Travel offers private and group tours from Marrakech lasting 3 to 16 days.
How far is the Sahara Desert from Marrakech?
Merzouga, home of the Erg Chebbi dunes, is about 560 km from Marrakech, roughly 9 to 10 hours by road, which is why most tours split the journey over two days with stops at the Tizi n’Tichka Pass, Aït Benhaddou and Ouarzazate. Zagora, a closer gateway to the Sahara, is about 360 km and 5 to 6 hours away, so it suits shorter trips.
How many days do I need for a tour from Marrakech to the Sahara?
You need at least 3 days to include a night in the Sahara on a tour from Marrakech. Five to eight days gives a comfortable pace, adding Aït Benhaddou, Ouarzazate, the Dadès Valley and Todra Gorge without long daily drives. Choose 10 to 16 days to also include Fes, Chefchaouen and the Atlantic coast.
Do tours from Marrakech end in Marrakech?
Not always. Depending on the itinerary, tours from Marrakech either return to Marrakech or finish in another city such as Fes, Casablanca or Tangier. One-way routes avoid backtracking, so you can start in Marrakech and fly out from the city where the tour ends. Tell us your arrival and departure cities and we will choose the best route.
Can I customize a tour from Marrakech?
Yes. Every private tour from Marrakech can be customized to your dates, budget and interests. You can change the number of days, add or remove stops such as Aït Benhaddou, Merzouga, Essaouira, Fes or Chefchaouen, choose your type of accommodation, and adjust the pace. Send us your travel dates and what you would like to see, and MT Morocco Travel will build a tailored itinerary and quote for you.
When is the best time to take a tour from Marrakech?
Spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are the best seasons, with comfortable temperatures in Marrakech, the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara. In summer, temperatures in Marrakech and the desert often exceed 40°C. In winter (December to February), days are sunny but desert nights can drop close to freezing, and the High Atlas can get snow.
