One of the top highlights of a sahara desert tour in Morocco is seeing the sunset and sunrise on the sand dunes and spending the night in a Bedouin Tent or under the shooting stars. In Morocco, you have the choice between two broad areas where you can visit real sahara dunes; Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga, or the Erg Chegaga dunes close to M'hamid. Both sets of dunes offer a true once in a lifetime experience and both takes betweeen 8 - 10 hours in the car from Marrakech. Choosing which dunes to visit depends on your other plans and where you intend to visit or where to fly back home. Whichever one you choose, there is nothing quite like watching the sunset in the peace of the desert.

Morocco Desert Destinations: Merzouga, Zagora & Erg Chegaga Sahara Dunes
One of the best things to do in Morocco is to explore the huge sahara sand dunes,, ride the camels and spend the night under the stars in a luxury desert camp. The Erg Chebbi near Merzouga and the Erg Chegaga near M'hamid are the two best places to see Morocco's real dunes. Both places promise amazing scenery and fun things to do, but it usually takes 8 to 10 hours to drive there. Your overall travel plans and other places you want to see in Morocco will often determine which dunes you visit. Seeing the sunset in the quiet desert is an experience like no other, no matter which you choose.
Erg Chebbi Sahara Dunes in Merzouga:
The Morocco desert tour to Erg Chebbi in Merzouga can perfectly arranged in 3 days and 2 nights. However it is highly recommended to take at least 4 days desert tour to the Erg Chebbi dunes as you take time to enjoy the sites along the way and avoid the long drive on the last leg of your 3 days desert desert from Merzouga desert dunes to Marrakech (565km distance from Marrakech and it is a 10hour drive). Erg Chebbi Sahara dunes is well established, developed and has easy access and this ease of access result in higher visitor numbers, and the feeling of being less remote. The camel trek to desert camp takes 1hour and 30 minutes.
Erg Chegaga Sahara Dunes near M'hamid:
A Sahara desert tour From Marrakech to Erg Chegaga sahara dunes is a 415km distance from Marrakech and it takes about 9 hour drive. It is being considered to be a newer destination unlike the Erg Chebbi irrespective of the absence of hotels. What you find are the standard camps and luxury tents. This destination would prove difficult to access without a 4x4 car, due to the fact that it is off the road. Erg Chegaga is a much more recent tourist destination, however, it still has the upper hand over Erg Chebbi. The tour to Erg Chegaga is fascinating, you will visit the world heritage site of Ait Ben Haddou along the way and then follow the Draa Valley with its many oases & crumbling Kasbahs dotted along the way. The dunes are not as big as out at Erg Chegaga, but the desert is somehow more vast and wild here.
Zagora Experience:
Marrakech to Zagora 2 days desert tour does not actually offer a real desert experience compared to the Erg Chegaga nor the Erg Chebbi, but it is always a good option from Marrakech. For you to perfectly achieve an enjoyable desert tour to the Zagora desert from Marrakech, it will take you 2 days and one night to stay in the desert camp in the tent which takes about an hour ride. It can be assessed easily and it is a distance of about 350 kilometers and a 7 hour drive.
