Chefchaouen to Merzouga, the comfortable way.
.jpg?width=1600)
Plan on about 7h10 for the 585 km between Chefchaouen and Merzouga, following the N13 via Ouazzane, the N8 / N13 through the Middle Atlas, the N13 through the Ziz gorges and finally the N13 via Rissani. Chefchaouen is the blue-washed mountain town of the Rif, its medina of indigo lanes climbing the slope below two peaks, with a kasbah and a spring-fed river at the top.
Who makes the Chefchaouen to Merzouga trip
Why this trip? Chefchaouen is usually a one- or two-night stop between Tangier and Fes, so departures often continue straight on. As for Merzouga, people come for a camel trek into the dunes, a night in a desert camp and sunrise over Erg Chebbi. It is not an everyday transfer — 585 km is most of the width of Morocco — but it is a real one. It is booked by travellers who finish a desert tour and want to end their trip in Chefchaouen without doubling back through Marrakech, and by those going the other way who would rather spend one long day in a comfortable car than three on a shared tour bus.
The road from Chefchaouen to Merzouga
South of Chefchaouen the road descends out of the Rif through Ouazzane's olive groves and across rolling farmland to Fes. South of Fes the road climbs to Ifrane — an Alpine-looking town — and through the cedar forest near Azrou, home to Barbary macaques, then crosses high grazing plateaus to Midelt below Jebel Ayachi. South of Midelt the N13 crosses the Tizi n'Talghemt pass and drops through the Ziz gorges to Errachidia, then follows the Ziz valley's palm groves to Erfoud. South of Erfoud the road passes Rissani, the old capital of the Tafilalt, before the dunes of Erg Chebbi rise on the horizon at Merzouga. Good places to break the drive: the cedar forest near Azrou, Ifrane and the Ziz gorges viewpoint.
Arriving in Merzouga
Merzouga is the village at the foot of Erg Chebbi, the tallest sand dunes in Morocco, where the Sahara experience most people picture actually happens. Camps sit inside the dunes; cars stop at the camp's auberge in Merzouga or Hassi Labied, where luggage is left and a camel or 4x4 takes over.
Should you split the journey?
At 7h10 this is a full day in the car. We run it in one day for anyone who wants that — with breaks every two hours or so — but many travellers prefer to split it. The natural halfway point is Midelt: Midelt, below the snow-capped Ayachi, is the traditional halfway stop between Fes and the desert. Book two one-way legs and the driver meets you again the next morning.
Before you go
Once you are in Merzouga, the Khamlia Gnawa village and Rissani's old market are close by. October to April is best; summer days pass 45 °C. The return leg, Merzouga to Chefchaouen, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Privatwagen, Fernbus, Grand Taxi oder Zug?
The fastest way from Chefchaouen to Merzouga is a private transfer: about 7 h 15 door to door for a fixed €315 for the whole vehicle. The coach is cheaper per person but adds a transfer at each end and roughly an hour of waiting; a shared grand taxi only leaves once six seats are sold.
