Make My TripFaq?
The best time is during spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) when temperatures are more comfortable. Summer can be extremely hot, while winter nights can get quite cold.
Flights from the UK typically fly into Marrakech. From there, you can take a domestic flight to Errachidia or opt for a scenic 7-hour drive to Merzouga. Many tour companies also offer transport packages from Marrakech to Merzouga.
Bring lightweight, breathable clothing for the day, warm layers for chilly nights, a hat, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, and plenty of water. Don't forget your camera to capture the stunning landscape!
A 2-3 day stay is ideal for a desert experience, allowing time for camel treks, stargazing, and exploring the dunes.
In Merzouga, you can enjoy 4x4 desert tours, sandboarding on the dunes, and stargazing under the clear Sahara sky. You can also visit Berber villages to experience traditional music and food, and don’t miss the incredible sunrises and sunsets over the desert landscape.
