    Unforgetable experience at Merzouga desert

    The whole experience was amazing. Manager he took us personally to were the van to the desert departs. He was all the time in contact for anything we need. He is a lovely person and welcoming person. The camp was perfect. Big private tent even with hot shower, comfy beds. We arrived for sunset were you have time to play in the dunes, sandboarding. The dinner and berber music was fun. After we watched the stars. The day after we had the option to stay again in the camp or a riad. We decided the riad to chill at the swimming pool. Aswell everything was perfect. The way to arrive to Merzouga and came back is long but we made many interesting stops and worth it. And is the best price .

    Response from the operator: thank you very much Aliona for this nice review, god bless and protect you all the time

    Exceptional travel

    We arrived in Fes for 3 days through this agency and we were very well received by the agency manager! Very well accompanied, very good advice and a guide at the top! We left in the desert on Saturday morning, a big bus day but the ride was worth it!!! Taken care of by 4*4 then on camel to reach our tent with the view of the sunset on the sand... beautiful colors we took full eyes 😍 Very comfortable tents, simple but good meal and to finish evening in the desert to the sound of the djembe! In the morning breakfast at 5:30 to leave in camel with a beautiful sunrise, we crossed the desert in camel to a small town to take the bus and return to Fes! Exceptional and so dazzling!!! To do obviously!!!

    Response from the operator: merci beaucoup pour ce joli commentaire

    Enlightening , lovely

    Awesome experience. Would advise tourist to watch out for hard marketing by the camel herdsmen. Otherwise, it was a good provision for the cost. Food good, vehicle comfortable, stops were great, Sahara experience was amazing. Must stay hydrated and take scarves with you. There are lots of folks to offer wrapping them on for you. Buying at the stop before was annoying as I have so many linen scarves back home. Needs to be a fabric you can breathe through. About 2-3metets length is perfect. They charge up to 200dh per scarf.

    Response from the operator: thank you Toyin for this nice reviewing

    2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.

    How much does 2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes cost?

    +

    Prices start at $140 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 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes 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 Fez is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 15 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 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes?

    +

    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 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes?

    +

    Around 5 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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes 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 Fez 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 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 desert tour 3 days, Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 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.

    What is included in 2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes?

    +

    Included: Dinner; and Breakfast. Not included: Lunches & Drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 138 listed pickup locations in and around Fez. Be ready about 40 minutes before the start time.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Fes?
