    Great trip to Sahara

    We really enjoyed the Sahara Desert trip. The arrangements were very good, and I was particularly impressed that there were regular stops during the long journey, which made the trip much more comfortable. The accommodation in the desert was also very nice, and the food was good too.

    Stunning Sahara trip with pick up and start gazing

    We booked a 2 day but you can also do , just a smaller day trip but you won't be able to get as deep in to the desert. We stayed in a tent the stars are night were something else. Great food and evening little show . Option to add on camel rides but we add already done this on a separate trip . We booked via GetYourGuide and you can use our NEFEAST5 for 5% off.! Works for any number of people and any other bookings on the platform — note: the code works once per email address, so use a different email for separate bookings.

    It was the best travel agency I have ever booked with!

    It was a birthday of my sister, as we decided to book a journey with Tarboosh Travel. We are so thankful that we met Abdeljalil as we were planning our trip to Merzouga… We were picked up exactly on time, we had a minimum of waiting time and super nice drivers, especially Said. He gave us a feeling of safety and his travel playlist was absolutely fantastic! All the way to desert was very picturesque and beautiful. Moreover, Abdeljalil was carrying very much, asking us how we are doing and giving us advices about many many things. As we had a small issue in the camp, he did everything to help us and make our stay as positive as possible, always staying in touch with us! We have never experienced such a great customer support!!! The camp (Achabou Camp) by itself had a great dinner and breakfast, nice drum show, we were even dancing! Also there was a bottle of water during dining, which was very helpful for us! The tents are very welcoming and cozy as well as modern and clean. We enjoyed it very much. Camp organisation was professional, we were told all the information we needed. Most of the workers spoke English. We even liked it so much that we decided to stay two nights in the desert. It was really great, thank you so much! We wish you all the best on your way. Hoping to see you soon!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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

    2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Marrakech: 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 - Marrakech cost?

    +

    Prices start at €122 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 - Marrakech 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 - Marrakech worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 11 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 - Marrakech?

    +

    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 - Marrakech 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 - Marrakech?

    +

    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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days/1 Night Sahara Desert Trip: Fes - Merzouga - Marrakech 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 - Marrakech?

    +

    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 - Marrakech 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.
