Marrakech desert tours

Yes, in fact, Casablanca is located on the Atlantic Coast of northern Morocco. A Casablanca desert trip, on a day tour, is not possible. You need first to get to Marrakech. The distance between Casablanca and Marrakech is 244 km, and the trip will take 1h 30m or 2 hours maximum. Therefore, from Marrakech to Sahara desert you still have to cross the Atlas Mountains and head to the southern regions. If you end up in Casablanca and are really short on time, you can fly to Errachidia or Zagora, where we can pick you up from the airport and take you to the dunes. There are daily flights from Casablanca to those desert cities, each of them serving Erg Chebbi or Erg Chigaga correspondingly.

Without a doubt, the most famous Marrakech desert trips are the 5-day Desert Tour – Sahara, Kasbahs & Canyons, 4-day Zagora and Merzouga Desert Tour, and the 4-day Erg Chebbi Dunes Tour from Marrakech.

What happens is that many people only have one week to stay in Morocco, and after a few days of visiting Marrakech, they decide to head to the desert while visiting other places on the way. This is the perfect solution to enjoy the country.
