Morocco desert tours: Merzouga, Agafay, Zagora
Quick answer
For real sand dunes (Erg Chebbi), plan a 2-3 day circuit from Marrakech or Fes. Short on time? The Agafay desert offers a half-day or dinner-bivouac just 40 min from Marrakech.
The desert is the signature experience of any trip to Morocco. From the golden Erg Chebbi dunes at Merzouga to the stony Agafay desert at the gates of Marrakech, choose between a day trip, a bivouac under the stars or a multi-day circuit. All activities are bookable on GetYourGuide with free cancellation.

Frequently asked questions
How many days to reach Merzouga?
Plan at least 3 days / 2 nights from Marrakech (via Aït Ben Haddou and the Dades gorges), or 2 days from Fes.
Agafay or Merzouga?
Agafay is a stony desert near Marrakech, perfect for a half-day. Merzouga has the real sand dunes but requires several days of driving.
