FAQ
Zagora to Merzouga questions
How long is the drive from Zagora to Merzouga?
Reckon on 360 km of road and close to 5h 30 of actual driving via Ouarzazate & the gorges, not counting photo stops or a meal. On the longer hauls we schedule rest breaks, and a mountain pass is never something we hurry.
How much does a private Zagora to Merzouga transfer cost?
One all-inclusive fare per vehicle: from $295 for a sedan or comfort van (1–5 passengers), from $385 for a Mercedes Vito or SUV (1–6) or from $430 for a Sprinter VIP (7–17). Fuel, highway tolls, passenger insurance and your driver are all in the price — confirmed in writing at the time of booking. Settle it in cash on the day or pay ahead by bank transfer.
What is included in the Zagora to Merzouga transfer price?
Everything for the road: fuel, all highway tolls, passenger insurance and your English-speaking private driver, plus door-to-door pickup and bottled water on board. There is no meter and nothing added at the kerb — the from-price you confirm at booking is the price you pay.
Can we stop for photos or sightseeing along the way?
Of course — stopping where you please is exactly why a private car beats the train or a shared shuttle. Along this route we can break at Ouarzazate & the gorges or at any lookout that catches your eye. Want a guide to walk you round a site? We will price that as a day tour instead.
Is it better to drive or take the train from Zagora to Merzouga?
No worthwhile train serves this route, so a private car — a 4x4 over the rougher stretches — is the comfortable choice: door to door, halting wherever you like.
