From Marrakech, it takes about 8-10 hours by car to reach desert getaways, such as Merzouga or Zagora. And, from Fes, it’ll take around 7-8 hours as the drive is slightly shorter. Most people join multi-day tours as they break up the journey and enjoy the desert experience completely.
Riding a camel in the Sahara Desert is an experience to remember. You will sway as the camel goes round and round the golden dunes, mostly in the sunrise or sunset.
