Desert-camp drop-offs and the last kilometres of sand
Most Merzouga accommodation is a luxury camp inside the dunes rather than a street address. Give us the camp name at booking and the driver takes you to the exact meeting point — usually a kasbah or auberge at the edge of Erg Chebbi where your camel or 4x4 transfer starts — and waits until the handover is done. Late arrivals after a long Sahara drive are normal: there is no extra charge for evening drop-offs, and the same driver and vehicle can stay with you for the return leg or a multi-day itinerary.

Why visit Merzouga.
Merzouga is the small desert village that sits at the foot of Erg Chebbi, a sea of orange dunes rising up to 150 meters. It is the most accessible Saharan experience in Morocco.
Reaching Merzouga is part of the adventure: roughly 9 hours from Marrakech, 8 hours from Fes. Most travelers split the journey into two days. Our drivers arrange comfortable stops along the way.
Once you arrive, camels and 4x4s take over for the dunes — but the door-to-door comfort begins and ends in our vehicle.
