The Guide to Best Morocco Travel 2024
Best Morocco Travel have surged in popularity in recent years, captivating the imaginations of many travelers. For those contemplating a journey to this enchanting destination, here’s essential information to aid in your planning process. This guide addresses common queries from travelers, providing insights to help you craft the ideal Morocco desert tour tailored to your preferences.
Where is the desert located in Morocco?
Sahara Desert is running roughly north-south along Morocco eastern border with neighboring Algeria. This is the world’s largest hot desert. In fact, the Sahara covers an area roughly the size of the entire United States. The location of the desert is remote and it can take a long hours to get there
Is there desert in Marrakech?
Although Marrakech is often characterized as a desert city, its climate closely resembles that of the Mediterranean region. While it does receive less rainfall compared to typical Mediterranean areas, it’s wetter than a typical desert climate. Marrakech serves as the main gateway to the Sahara Desert, attracting millions of visitors annually who embark on extensive desert journeys to regions like Zagora or Merzouga. Interestingly, just 40 minutes away from Marrakech lies the Agafay Desert. While often referred to as a stone desert due to its rough, dry, moon-like landscape, it offers stunning scenery reminiscent of desert environments. Though Agafay lacks the large, rolling, golden sand dunes one might envision, it provides a desert-like atmosphere with a rockier terrain. Its proximity to the city makes it a popular destination for weekend getaways, offering a great alternative for those pressed for time or unable to venture to the more remote Sahara Desert. Agafay Desert still promises breathtaking vistas, captivating sunsets, and the opportunity to enjoy a traditional Bedouin camp dinner. Visitors can also experience camel rides against the backdrop of the High Atlas Mountains on the horizon.
How far is the real desert from Marrakech?
The main sand dunes in Sahara Desert are the Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga dunes. Each destination offers a wonderful experience while Erg Chebbi dunes are much more accessible. This area offers modern accommodations right on the foot of the sand dunes in desert town of Merzouga. It is touristic town that has many restaurants and shops as well. The Erg Chigaga dunes are located more off the beaten path therefore, offer travelers a bigger adventure. The dunes are located about 60 km from nearest town M’hamid and are accessible only by 4×4 ride through rocky and bumpy road. Travel time is about 2 hours by car and ½ day camel ride through rocky desert until you reach to the great dunes. Erg Chigaga is much harder to access due its remote location however, it adds more charm to your adventure. From Marrakech to Merzouga is roughly 370 mi (600 km). This is around 10-hour drive one way, that depends on your stops and driving ability. From Marrakech to Zagora, Erg Chigaga dunes is approximately 370 mi (360 km). These drives take you over mountainous and winding roads, highways, rural and village roads. Just keep in mind along your drive you may want to slow down because there are many things to see and experience before you reach to desert. You will encounter many scenic landscapes, colorful Berber villages and interesting cultural experiences which you may want to discover further.

Where to start and end the desert trip?
As said above Marrakech is the main door to Sahara Desert therefore, its good idea to start your journey from the red city. There are wide variety of public and private transportation options available to choose from for your desert adventure. Furthermore, many tour companies are based in Marrakech due to its tourism aspects. Majority tours end in Fes which is another big touristic city with a lot to offer. Its good idea to start your trip from Marrakech to visit desert and end the tour in Fes or wise versa. You can also start the tour from Fes if you are in the northern parts of the country and end it in Marrakech. Turning this route, in either direction you have opportunity to see 2 imperial cities Marrakech and Fes, High and Mid Atlas Mountains, Sahara Desert, palm groves and cedar forest.
How to get to Sahara desert?
There are a couple of different ways to visit Sahara Desert. It all comes down to personal preferences and your travel style. If you are seasoned traveler and speak some Arabic or French it’s possible to travel independently. You could rent a car through rental company and plan 2 days drive to desert. We recommend to spend a night in Atlas Mountains because of the long drive.
Second option is to take a route with public transportation by bus. Downside of this option is, the long drive and therefore, journey could be exhausting. Also, it’s hard to move around without the car once you get to the desert.
Third option would be travelling with the tour company which is good idea to maximize your time. This option is convenient and you will have added bonus which is community connection. This choice is also safer and more reliable for female travelers.
With the private tour, you will be able to get deeper cultural experience. You will have change to interact with the local people and experience countries hidden points. Travelling with knowledgeable guides makes your desert trip easy and convenient.
