5 Days Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga

Driving time varies by day, usually between 4 to 7 hours, including scenic stops, sightseeing, and breaks. The 5-day format is designed to avoid rushed travel compared to shorter desert tours.

The tour includes a luxury private desert camp with real beds, private or shared bathrooms, hot showers, and traditional Moroccan dinner. Comfort and authenticity are both prioritized.

Absolutely. This is a private tour, so the itinerary can be adjusted to your preferences—whether that’s accommodation level, stops along the way, or adding special experiences.

Camel trekking is optional. If you prefer, a 4x4 vehicle transfer to and from the desert camp can be arranged without any problem.

The 5-day tour allows more time to explore places like Dades Valley, Todra Gorge, and Berber villages without long, exhausting drives. It offers a deeper cultural experience and a more relaxed journey.

We recommend comfortable clothes, walking shoes, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and a light jacket for cool desert nights. Luggage is safely transported and stored during the camel trek.

This tour is organized by Dahbi Morocco Tours, a locally based travel company in Ouarzazate with extensive experience organizing private Sahara desert tours, trusted by international travelers for reliability and authenticity.

Desert camps near Merzouga vary significantly in quality and style. Here is what to expect at each level:

Standard camps: Traditional Berber-style tents sleeping two to four people, shared bathroom facilities (basic but clean), communal dining area, campfire, and traditional Berber music in the evening. Bedding includes mattresses, blankets, and pillows. Simple but authentic.

Mid-range camps: Private tents with proper beds (not just mattresses on the floor), thicker tent walls for better temperature regulation, upgraded linens, shared or semi-private bathroom facilities, and better-quality meals. Some camps at this level have solar-powered lighting and charging stations.

Luxury camps: Private ensuite tents with full bathrooms (flush toilets, showers, sinks), king or queen beds, quality linens, electricity, heating in winter, stylish furnishings, and gourmet multi-course meals. These camps often include lounges, terraces, and a more refined atmosphere while still maintaining the Sahara experience.

All camps include a camel trek to and from the dunes (or 4x4 transfer if you prefer), sunset or sunrise dune access, dinner, breakfast, and entertainment.

Yes. Single occupancy is available for an additional supplement, as most accommodations price rooms on a double-occupancy basis. The supplement varies by property and season but typically ranges from 30-50% of the per-person rate.

If you are a solo traveller booking a private tour, the single supplement is automatically included in your quote. If you are travelling with a group but prefer your own room, let us know during booking and we will calculate the supplement.
