2-Day Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga with Overnight Camel Trekking

Experience the magic of Morocco’s Sahara Desert on an unforgettable 2-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga, combining dramatic mountain landscapes, ancient kasbahs, desert scenery, and an exciting overnight camel trekking adventure in the Erg Chebbi dunes. This short but adventurous journey is designed for travelers who want to discover the beauty of southeastern Morocco and spend a memorable night under the stars.

Your adventure begins in Marrakech with an early departure toward the High Atlas Mountains. Travel through the spectacular Tizi n’Tichka mountain pass and enjoy panoramic views of traditional Berber villages, valleys, and rugged mountain landscapes. Continue toward the famous Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Morocco’s most impressive fortified villages. Explore its narrow streets, traditional architecture, and historic kasbahs before continuing through Ouarzazate and the beautiful landscapes of the Valley of Roses and the Dades region.

As the journey continues toward the Sahara, the scenery gradually changes from mountains and valleys to the vast desert landscapes of southeastern Morocco. Pass through towns such as Erfoud and enjoy views of rocky plateaus and desert villages before reaching Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi dunes.

In the afternoon, begin your overnight camel trekking experience. Ride your camel across the golden sand dunes while watching the changing colors of the Sahara as the sun begins to set. Stop at a scenic viewpoint to enjoy an unforgettable desert sunset and take photographs of the spectacular landscape. Continue by camel to your desert camp, where a traditional Moroccan dinner awaits.


Spend the evening surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of the Sahara. Enjoy traditional Moroccan music, local hospitality, and a delicious dinner beneath the open sky. If weather conditions are suitable, take some time to admire the incredible stars far away from city lights. Sleeping in a desert camp gives you the opportunity to experience the Sahara at night and enjoy the silence and beauty of the dunes.

The following morning, wake up early to watch the Sahara sunrise over the Erg Chebbi dunes. After breakfast at the camp, return by camel or 4x4 vehicle toward Merzouga and begin the return journey according to your travel plans.


This 2-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour is ideal for travelers looking for a fast-paced Sahara experience that includes camel trekking, an overnight desert camp, sunset and sunrise views, and some of Morocco’s most famous landscapes.
