The four-day Marrakech to Merzouga tour has a Dadès hotel or guest-house night, a private tent at an Erg Chebbi camp and a hotel night near Ouarzazate. Pack for the forecast on your dates and ask the operator what the actual camp supplies; facilities and weather should not be inferred from a generic Sahara checklist.
Pack for two hotel nights and one camp night
- Comfortable shoes for walks in Dadès, Todra and the camp area.
- Clothing and toiletries for three nights, plus medication and any essential documents.
- Layers for the High Atlas crossing and the camp evening, chosen for the season and forecast.
- Sun protection, a cap or scarf, and a small light.
- Charging lead and power bank; confirm electricity at the camp.
The offer lists accommodation with breakfast and dinner but does not specify tent bedding, bathroom layout, luggage allowance or charging facilities. Ask for those details and for the camp’s exact access plan before departure.
Keep essentials within reach on driving days
Carry water, snacks, your pickup contact, booking confirmation and an offline copy of the confirmed itinerary in a day bag. Day one crosses the High Atlas to Dadès; day three runs from Merzouga via Alnif, Tazzarine and the Drâa Valley to Ouarzazate. Ask for realistic arrival times if you have a fixed connection after the final day.
Check optional costs and the day-four visit
The published exclusions include lunches, personal drinks, entrance fees and guided tours. Request current amounts, payment options and which stops actually include a local guide. The day-four kasbah is not clearly named; confirm whether Aït Ben Haddou is scheduled rather than assuming proximity to the hotel means a visit.
The four-day stops and overnight guide sets out the sequence, and the duration comparison explains the five- and six-day alternatives. The commercial offer contains the published inclusions and cancellation table.
