If you’re planning a trip to Morocco and wondering how many days to stay in Merzouga, you’re not alone! Merzouga, home to the stunning Erg Chebbi dunes, is one of the most magical places in the country — and definitely worth taking your time to enjoy.
At Marrakech Camel Trips, we recommend at least 2 days and 1 night, but ideally 2 nights if you want to experience all the desert has to offer without feeling rushed.
📅 1 Night in Merzouga (Quick Desert Experience)
Perfect for travelers short on time.
- Sunset camel trek through the dunes
- Overnight in a luxury or standard desert camp
- Traditional dinner, Berber music & stargazing
- Sunrise in the dunes & return by camel or 4×4
✅ Ideal if you’re on a 3- or 4-day tour
📅 2 Nights in Merzouga (Best Option!)
Recommended for those who want a deeper experience.
- First night in the desert camp
- Second day: 4×4 dunes tour
– Visit Berber nomads
– Explore the black desert & fossil sites
– Stop in Khamlia village for Gnawa music - Optional: quad biking or sandboarding
- Second night: back at the camp or in a traditional riad near the dunes
✅ This option lets you enjoy the desert during the day, not just at night.
📅 3+ Nights (For Slow Travelers)
If you’re looking to disconnect and truly immerse yourself in the peace of the desert, staying 3 or more nights is also possible.
You can combine excursions, relaxation, meditation, or even photography workshops.
