Getting There

  • Car Rental

    If you are traveling by car, rent a vehicle in Marrakesh. Start your journey from the center of Marrakesh, heading towards the N9 road. Follow the signs for Ouarzazate and the Dades Valley. The drive takes approximately 6-7 hours. Make sure to bring enough water and snacks, as there are limited stops along the way. You will pass through scenic landscapes, including the Atlas Mountains, so consider stopping for photos.

  • Public Bus

    For budget travelers, take a public bus from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate. The bus station in Marrakesh is located at CTM. Buses depart regularly and the journey takes about 4-5 hours. You can purchase tickets at the station. Once in Ouarzazate, you can catch another bus to Merzouga, which is the gateway to the desert. This second leg takes about 6 hours. Make sure to check the bus schedules as they can vary.

  • Shared Taxi

    An alternative to the bus is to take a shared taxi (known as 'Grand Taxi') from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate. These taxis leave when full and have a fixed price, which can be negotiated beforehand. The journey takes around 4 hours. From Ouarzazate, you can either take another shared taxi to Merzouga or arrange for a tour operator to pick you up directly for the 3 Days desert tour. The shared taxi to Merzouga can be a bit cramped, so be prepared for a longer ride.

  • Tour Operator Pickup

    If you've booked the 3 Days desert tour with Morocco Easy Tours, you will likely be picked up directly from your accommodation in Marrakesh. Confirm the pickup time and location with your tour operator. The drive to the Sahara Desert will be part of the tour package, and it usually includes well-planned stops along the way for meals and sightseeing.
