From Marrakesh: 3-Day Merzouga Desert Tour with Camel Rides & Sandboarding with Return Transfers to Marrakesh or Fes

Travel from Marrakech to Merzouga for a multi-day desert tour with a hotel stay in Tinghir, Berber camp, camel rides, and sandboarding.

Getting started

Depart Marrakech by air-conditioned minibus and travel toward the desert region. Settle into your seat as you leave the city behind and head toward Tinghir, where your hotel accommodation awaits. Along the way, you simply stay on board the minibus, relax, and watch the landscape gradually change.

Tinghir hotel stay

• Check in to your accommodation in a hotel in Tinghir, giving you a comfortable base to rest between travel segments.

• Enjoy the included dinner and breakfast at the hotel, so your evening meal and morning start are covered before you move on.

• Travel to and from Tinghir by air-conditioned minibus, which serves as your main transport throughout the tour.

Merzouga desert camp

• Settle into your accommodation in the desert camp in Merzouga, with tents arranged for your stay in the dunes.

• If you select the luxury camp option, you stay in a luxury desert camp with a private tent bathroom, subject to availability.

• Make use of the included dinner and breakfast at the desert camp, so your main meals are taken care of during your stay.

Camel rides and sandboarding

• Join a camel ride at sunset, then again at sunrise, giving you two chances to ride across the dunes at different times of day.

• Try sandboarding on the surrounding dunes, using the provided boards to slide down the sandy slopes.

• Move between Marrakech, Tinghir, and Merzouga by air-conditioned minibus, which connects all activity points on this private, standard, or luxury tour option, depending on what you select.

• After your final sunrise camel ride and breakfast in Merzouga, you return by air-conditioned minibus toward Marrakech, with lunches, drinks, local guide services in Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, and tips and gratuities at your own expense.
