    Very good experience

    Very good, the guide Omar speaks Spanish, which makes everything easier, takes care of the needs of the group and is very friendly, they are making stops along the journey to drink coffee eat and so on. I'd definitely repeat.

    Highly recommended

    An unforgettable experience. The dromedary ride through the dunes is very enjoyable and the guides are very helpful. The journey is a long one, but making stops makes it happen sooner. Our driver, Omar was lovely. I would repeat again

    missed the appointment with the sunrise over the dunes

    very welcome to the bivouac in the late afternoon. We were able to enjoy tea and almonds and enjoy the last rays of sunshine before the dromedary ride to watch the sunset over the dunes. Climb the beautiful dunes and listen to the silence of the desert. Then a good meal under the tent canvas and after gathering around a fire with some young Berber people to admire the stars- the gentlemen tried to play some tunes and sing but not too convincing, in our opinion- we preferred to talk with them, which is very culturally enriching. Then at night in the tent, comfortable, with heating and sanitary However, it is better to shower before dinner because after sunset, the water is cold! The only problem, the guide promised us (it was included in the service) to pick us up the next day at 8 a.m., to admire the sunrise over the dunes. At 8:15, not seeing him arrive, we went to the breakfast room and he served us as if he had not told us anything the day before-

    How does 2-Day Guided Sahara Desert Tour: Fes to Merzouga compare to similar tours in Fez?

    Who is 2-Day Guided Sahara Desert Tour: Fes to Merzouga best for?

    +

    How much does 2-Day Guided Sahara Desert Tour: Fes to Merzouga cost?

    +

    Prices start at €120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day Guided Sahara Desert Tour: Fes to Merzouga take?

    +

    Plan for about 34 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Fez is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day Guided Sahara Desert Tour: Fes to Merzouga worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Guided Sahara Desert Tour: Fes to Merzouga?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2-Day Guided Sahara Desert Tour: Fes to Merzouga suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 34-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Day Guided Sahara Desert Tour: Fes to Merzouga?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Fez can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 34-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    +

    What are the best things to do in Fez?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days, 2Days groupe Tour Fes To Fes Or Marrakech Via Sahara Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Fez?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Fez?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
