Milky Way Gazing experience
Such a beautiful experience! Seeing the Moroccan night sky away from all the city lights was honestly something special. You can see so many stars, and seeing the Milky Way with your own eyes is completely different from seeing it in pictures. We learned about different stars, planets and constellations and got to look through the telescope as well. The explanations were simple and interesting, so you don’t need to know anything about astronomy beforehand to enjoy it. My favorite part was just standing there in the darkness, looking up and realizing how much is actually above us. The combination of the stars, planets, Milky Way and the peaceful Moroccan night made it an experience I’ll definitely remember. Really recommend Morocco Astro Tours if you’re visiting Morocco and want to experience something a little different!

A unique stargazing experience in the Sahara Desert of Morocco
I have just spent, with three friends, two nights in the eastern Tafilalt of Morocco at the astrocamp of Morocco Astrotours. Moha Segaoui was our host. We stayed in luxurious 'bungalow-tents' miles from the lights of Erfoud and Merzouga. So no light pollution... none! Just dark skies and peace and quiet. The star gazing really was amazing. I have rarely seen the milky way so milky. Moha seems to know the star map like the back of his hand. Saturn was rings edge on and looked wonderful. During the day we saw amazing fossils at the nearby oases of Laaouina and Saf Saf surrounded by the escarpment of the Hamada du Guir. Both oases still had flowing water following the rains of last September. We had bed and breakfast and evening meal. The tajine of aubergine and lashing of cheese was so good that we asked for it on the second evening. Breakfast lasted for much of the morning. I am going to send two more evening there when my girl friend comes to join me at the end of the month. I really recommend this expreience for anyone who loves the desert.

An unforgettable stay with MoroccoAstroTours!
We spent extraordinary moments in the Moroccan desert. The meals were delicious and varied, the activities perfectly organized and full of discoveries. The highlight of our stay: two magical nights devoted to stargazing with different telescopes. We not only admired the sky in all its glory, but also learned a lot about local methodology and the surrounding culture from Moha. I highly recommend MoroccoAstroTours to all those who want to live a unique experience mixing adventure, gastronomy and astronomy.

2-Day in Merzouga Desert with Stargazing - Sleep Under Milky Way: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merzouga.
How much does 2-Day in Merzouga Desert with Stargazing - Sleep Under Milky Way cost?
+
Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Merzouga 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 in Merzouga Desert with Stargazing - Sleep Under Milky Way take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Merzouga is not rushed.
Is 2-Day in Merzouga Desert with Stargazing - Sleep Under Milky Way worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Merzouga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day in Merzouga Desert with Stargazing - Sleep Under Milky Way?
+
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 in Merzouga Desert with Stargazing - Sleep Under Milky Way suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 17. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day in Merzouga Desert with Stargazing - Sleep Under Milky Way?
+
Around 1 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 Merzouga 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 Merzouga and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day in Merzouga Desert with Stargazing - Sleep Under Milky Way start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Merzouga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Merzouga?
+
On Outty we rank every Merzouga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Camel Trekking & 1 Night in Merzouga Desert Camp, From Merzouga: 2-Nights In Luxury Camp with Camel Trek & Dinner., Overnight in Merzouga with unforgettable Sunset & Camel/Quad ride. 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 Merzouga?
+
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 Merzouga?
+
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.
