Can you do a day trip to Sahara Desert from Marrakech?
Lianmi asked 2 years ago
I saw many people asking online if you can do a desert trip from Marrakech in one day!
There are several options to visit the desert from Marrakech. You can visit the desert by car, bus, or bicycle. The cheapest way to get to the desert is by bus. One of the comfortable bus tours is operated by CTM, which costs around 35€. The bus will take you to the village of Merzouga near the Erg Chebbi sand dunes. But most travelers choose to travel with a travel agency because they offer more than just the transfer that the CTM company offers. Driving through winding mountain passes and valleys is about 561 km from Marrakech to the most beautiful sand dunes in Morocco.
You cannot do a desert excursion on a day trip from Marrakech, as the journey takes about 9 hours. The tour must be planned in advance, it lasts at least three days. Although it's a long way, the beautiful scenery makes it worth it.
What do you think? can you do a Sahara desert trip on a day trip from Marrakech?

Merzoug desert tour takes at least 3 days from Marrakech. But if you only want transport, it can be done in one day. The bus does not stop at an attraction along the way. They stop from one station to another. If you only have one day, I advise you to visit the amazing deserts of Agfay, not far from Marrakech.

You need 3 days for a desert trip! You cannot do a desert tour from Marrakesh in one day, because it is very far. Most tour agencies start their desert tours at 08:00 AM from Marrakech towards Dades Gorge. The tour takes you through the beautiful High Atlas Mountains with magnificent views and the visit to the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou. The next day you travel to the Todra Gorges and the desert. On the last day, you will return to Marrakesh via the Draa Valley and the High Atlas Mountains.

In one day? No, it's too far! No company offers such excursions. Traveling to the desert from Marrakech in one day doesn't include visiting the most important sights on the way.

No, you cannot do a desert trip on a day trip from Marrakesh. Most travelers who are short on time go to the Agafay desert to have a blissful experience. The Agafay Desert is an arid and rocky area near Marrakech. It is only 40 minutes from the amazing maze-like Marrakech Souk. It is an elongated plateau of dune-like hills with mountains in the background. Many activities are organized, such as camel riding and quad biking.
