Very disappointing for the price
Very disappointing for the price Honestly, I expected much more from this tour, especially considering how much I paid. I paid over $160 for a 2-day, 1-night trip, while other people on the same trip paid around $130 for a 3-day, 2-night trip. What made this even more disappointing is that this was not an exclusive or private tour. It was a shared tour with travelers booked through different operators and service providers. We stayed at essentially the same desert camp and used the same general transportation arrangements, so I really don’t feel that the much higher price was justified. The journey to the desert was also poorly timed. We arrived almost at sunset, so there was no proper camel ride into the desert. We were driven most of the way to the camp and only rode the camels for a short distance after arriving. The camel ride was one of the main experiences I was looking forward to, so this was quite disappointing. The transportation arrangements were not great either. On the way back, they could not drop me off near my hotel, which made the end of the trip more inconvenient than it needed to be. There was also an uncomfortable situation at the camp. I had booked a private room, but after arriving, a staff member asked if I would share the room with another traveler. I said no, because I had specifically booked and paid for a private room. I don’t think guests should have to deal with this kind of issue after arriving at the camp. Overall, I just don’t think this tour was worth the money I paid. The experience felt rushed, the camel ride was much shorter than expected, the transportation was not very convenient, and the accommodation arrangement was not handled properly. For the price I paid, I expected a much better experience. I would strongly recommend comparing the prices and what is actually included with other desert tours before booking this one.

Poorly organized and stressful experience
This tour with Sami Trip was poorly organized from start to finish. The pickup was delayed 1.5 hours with no explanation. The transport had no heating, and my luggage was left behind on the bus, with staff blaming me for it. I paid a solo traveler fee but was still given a shared tent. The tent was old with uncomfortable bedding, though the food and sunset were good. The return trip was worse—my assigned seat was broken, and staff rudely dismissed my complaint. Overall, a stressful experience. There are better companies to enjoy this trip without unnecessary hassles.

not to be trusted, tour got canceled way AFTER pick up time
Please beware before booking. We Booked weeks in advance via GetyourGuide and we looked for a tour operator with good reviews. Sami Trip seemed like a great option. Two days before the tour our Riad contacted Sami and he told us we would be picked up at 7 in the morning. On the day of the tour we were ready with our bags but no one came to pick us up... then, after we called him he promised to pick us up at our Riad in a few minutes. Again.. no one came. After calling him again he suddenly canceled the tour. Because of this we were not able to go to the Sahara Desert during our stay in Morocco. Big dissapointment. I would advise not to book this tour (or any other tours) with Sami Trip. As you have no guarantee that the tour will actually take place. On a positive note. We wil be getting a refund. So i dint think its a scam. I am also sure the positive reviews are all true (whenever the tour does actualy take place). Just be warned before you book.. and know that there is a chance the tour might be canceled.

DO NOT BOOK
Dreadful Experience, Lack of Responsiveness, Deserted Without Transportation in Blistering Heat. Initially, we were excited about our trip and had meticulously planned everything. Sami initially seemed attentive and friendly, but his behavior drastically changed on the day of the trip. Despite numerous assurances about visiting various sites, transportation, and sandboarding, none of these promises were kept. During the lengthy 7-hour journey from Fez to Merzouga, Sami blamed adverse weather conditions and bypassed all stops except for excessively expensive locations. Upon arrival in Merzouga, our anticipation for sandboarding, as promised, was met with confusion from the guides, who claimed ignorance of our requests. The following morning, our return trip to Marrakech, included in the package, failed to materialize. Left stranded under the scorching sun for hours, our attempts to contact Sami went unanswered. We ultimately had to arrange alternative transportation at our own expense, after pleading with the locals. Despite a satisfactory camel ride and overnight stay in the tent, our overall experience was marred by the distressing situation and lack of professionalism displayed by Sami.

Do not Book from SamiTrip
TERRIBLE. UNRESPONSIVE. LEFT US IN THE SCORCHING SUN WITHOUT ANY TRANSPORTATION BACK. We were very excited about this trip and had arranged everything. Sami was very responsive and friendly till the day of the trip. He made lots of promises about visiting multiple places, transportation and sand boarding. None of which were delivered. 1) In the 7 hour drive from Fez to Merzouga - he said the climate was bad and did not stop anywhere besides for places that were extremely expeensive. 2) Once we reached Merzouga, we were looking forward to Sandboarding which was promised. When we asked the guides there, they pretended as though they don’t understand what we were saying. 3) Next day morning, ride back to Marrakech was part of the package. But there wasn’t any bus for us. We were left waiting in the scorching sun for hours and Sami HUNG UP our call and stopped responding to our messages. We ultimately had to pay another local taxi to reach Marrakech (that too after a lot of requesting and pleading to the locals). Although the camel ride and overnight stay in the tent was good, our overall experience felt more like a survival than a vacation because of SAMI.

2 days luxury desert trip [fes to fes or marakech]: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does 2 days luxury desert trip [fes to fes or marakech] cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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 luxury desert trip [fes to fes or marakech] 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 luxury desert trip [fes to fes or marakech] worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 132 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 luxury desert trip [fes to fes or marakech]?
+
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 luxury desert trip [fes to fes or marakech] 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 luxury desert trip [fes to fes or marakech]?
+
Around 46 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 luxury desert trip [fes to fes or marakech] 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.
