    best overnight ever!

    such a great experience! our driver was very caring and took great care of my group and i. he made sure we got food, stopped enough times throughout the long drive over, and helped us bargain for the coolest souvenirs. he made it very comfortable, and he was the best!! then we got to the spot where the camels were, the people working took our luggage to the camp so we wouldn’t have to worry about it. then we got the most amazing camel sunset ride. we were riding for about an hour and got to stop and the guide took quite literally the best pictures. he knew what he was doing! then we got to the camp where we had a really big tent, it was gorgeous. we had dinner-got lots of delicious food! afterwards was the bonfire and drum lesson then concluded with stargazing on the top of a dune for a couple hours. i recommend this tour wholeheartedly! it was more than perfect and my group and i had the best time. our driver, and everyone at the camp was beyond helpful and fun to interact with. it was an experience i will genuinely cherish forever!

    great experience

    Great way to see Morocco outside of the bigger cities. We loved that the tour stops along the way to visit various sights. Riding camels into the desert to camp is lots of fun. Need to bring extra cash for lunches and tips which can add up but overall a great experience. Lots of driving but plenty of stops along the way break things up.

    The desert experience was a very rewarding experience

    The desert experience was a very rewarding experience. Watching the sunset or sunrise while sandboarding or riding a camel is an amazing experience. Our guide, Ali, speaks many languages, and our driver, Hakim, is very kind and well-planned, so we were able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. I stayed in a normal tent, and although the toilet and bath were shared, the tent was private and had electricity and outlets, so I was able to get a good rest. the starry sky is very beautiful.

    I was very satisfied

    I was very satisfied with being able to experience both the sunset desert and the sunrise desert. I was able to fully enjoy nature. Also, on the way to the desert, we were able to stop at various sightseeing spots and have a variety of experiences that can only be had on a guided tour. Also, although we had an early departure in the morning, our guide, Abderrahman Abbassi, came to pick us up at the hotel, which was very helpful. I think this is a tour where you can fully enjoy the various natures of Morocco. Since it was a tour in the middle of winter, it was quite cold in the tent stay, so if you are participating in the middle of winter, please bring enough cold weather gear.

    2 Days Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 2 Days Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez cost?

    +

    Prices start at $457 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tangier 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 Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez 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 Tangier is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tangier, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez?

    +

    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 Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez 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 Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez?

    +

    Around 8 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 Tangier 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 Tangier and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez 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 Tangier 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 Tangier?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Tangier experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include From Tangier Private Full Day-Trip to Chefchaouen, 7 days Tour from Tangier to Marrakech Morocco Tours, 3h Private Walking Tour in Tangier Kasbah Medina & Colorful Souks. 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 Tangier?

    +

    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 Tangier?

    +

    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 Private Luxury Excursion to Merzouga Desert from Fez?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Private luxury tent; Dinner; Bottled water; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
