If you're traveling from Marrakech to the Merzouga desert, the most convenient and affordable option is the Supratours bus. This direct bus departs from Marrakech every morning at 08:00 AM and arrives in Merzouga around 9:00 PM. The journey offers scenic views of the Atlas Mountains and Moroccan countryside along the way. To ensure a smooth trip, it’s recommended to book your bus ticket in advance, especially during high tourist seasons.
Alternatively, you can rent a car and drive from Marrakech to Merzouga, which takes approximately 9 to 10 hours. This allows you to explore the route at your own pace, with opportunities to stop in Ouarzazate, the Dades Valley, or Todra Gorge before reaching the dunes of Erg Chebbi.
For those coming from Fes, the best option is also the Supratours night bus, which departs daily at 7:00 PM and arrives in Merzouga the next morning at around 6:00 AM. This overnight journey is efficient and saves you the cost of a night’s accommodation. The bus is air-conditioned and comfortable, making it a good option for long-distance travelers.
If you prefer a private transfer or a rented car, the drive from Fes to Merzouga takes about 7 to 8 hours, offering beautiful views of the Middle Atlas, cedar forests, and the Ziz Valley. Either way, reaching Merzouga from Fes is both scenic and rewarding.
