It is 10 hours drive from Merzouga dunes to Marrakech, as you’ll leave grumpy, tired, and let down. Morocco is a big country and getting from point to point often takes much more time than the map lets on. A 3 or 4 Day Desert Tours from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi is recommended simply because there are so many things to see and do besides camel trekking and a night in the Sahara desert camp, 2-day tour option can NOT cover everything.
