Transfer from Errachidia Airport to Merzouga Desert
Errachidia Airport to Merzouga Travel Time
The drive from Errachidia Airport to Merzouga usually takes around 2 hours, with a distance of about 129 km. The exact travel time can change depending on traffic, stops, and the final drop-off location.

Drop-off at Your Hotel or Desert Camp
If your hotel, riad, or guesthouse is accessible by road, we drop you off directly at the entrance.
If your desert camp is inside the dunes, our driver will take you to the nearest meeting area agreed with your camp. From there, the camp team will meet you and take you to the camp by 4×4, camel, or another transport arranged by them.
This is the normal process because many desert camps are located inside the sand dunes.
