marrakech - Merzouga??
Hi all,
The first week of may my wife and I are going to Marrakech. I know this is a great place and that there are a lot of fascinating things to see. But we also would like to make a trip into the desert (f.i. Merzouga). However, I have some simple questions: 1. is it possible to make a trip of about 3 -4 days tot Erfoud/Merzouga or some other desert location from Marrakech, or is the distance from Marrakech to big? We only have 7 days, and fly back from Marrakech again. 2. If it is possible, could anyone recommend a tour operator in Marrakech that is reliable and good? And maybe you also know what this would cost us? Thanx!! bongoman |

I think it's about $50 for a 3-day trip. miguel -- Hundreds of travel photos from around the world: http://travel.u.nu/ |

We only have 7 days, and fly back from Marrakech again. Marrakech-Erfoud-Merzouga-Erfoud-Marrakech in 3/4 days is a little too rush, IMHO... ....consider : 1 day Marr-Ouarzazate 1 day Ouarzazate-Merzouga 1 full day exploring Merzouga area ...as an alternative you can get Zagora instead Merzouga. 2. If it is possible, could anyone recommend a tour operator in Marrakech that is reliable and good? You can rent a car and do it by yourself, you can take a look at my "self-drive" morocco tour here : www.corradobina.it/marocco/marocco.html Corrado --------------------- pictures & travelogs www.corradobina.it ---------------------- |

marrakech - Merzouga??
We specialize in trips to the desert and arrange drivers, hotels, camel
trips, etc. I certainly agree that it should be a manumit of 5 days from Marrakech to Merzouga and back. We have a small hotel/bivouac I could arrange for you once you get to Merzouga. I also could recommend a nice hotel we use in Ouarzazate or Todra Gorge. If you want to rent a car yourself, ok. You can drive on asphalt into Merzouga now. The driving is quite hazardous in places. Contact me if you are interested. E. Elena Hall, Co Director Blue Men of Morocco Co.
