Light, breathable layers for warm days, a warm jacket or fleece for cold desert nights, a scarf for sun and blowing sand, closed shoes and sun protection. See our what to wear in Morocco guide.

It depends on the season. Spring and autumn nights are cool but pleasant; winter nights (December–February) can drop close to freezing, while summer nights are mild. Our desert camp provides plenty of blankets and the tents have proper beds.

A minimum of 3 days to properly reach the big Erg Chebbi dunes from Marrakech or Fes and sleep in the desert. Four or five days adds a relaxed rest day and the oases; 6+ days lets you cross one-way between Marrakech and Fes.

Hotel Les Roches Merzouga sits at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes in Merzouga (postal code 52202), Errachidia province, south-east Morocco. Our private luxury desert camp is in the dunes, about an hour by camel from the hotel.
