Excellent itinerary, super nice driver and one heck of Saharan experience.
The itinerary is solid and you will cover a number of must visit places along Marrakech to Merzouga. The tour driver, Mohamed, is excellent in all aspects. We spent considerable amount of our 3 days tour travelling on the road and I have observed that our driver knows the road very well and he drives carefully. He speaks good English and is hilarious at same time. He cracks jokes every once in a while and they are really funny. He explains the itinerary at the start of the day, he talks about the history of the places we visit, so this guy is all in one. During our trip, we came across other tourists who moaned about their driver who was rude, always shouts when calling out late tour members, doesn't speak good english etc. so I guess we were really lucky to have Mohamed as our tour driver. The van is comfortable and there is no problem for people with large legs. The drive from one one place to another takes around 2-3 hours, there are stops in between but I suggest you manage your toilet breaks and stash some food and bring water in your bag to avoid any inconvenience. In some parts of the tour, we met with local tour guides who showed us around the place. We paid 20 dirhams for this and I don't really mind this amount knowing it helps them. The local guides will lead you to shops selling various items from scarves, soap and perfumes to wool carpets. You should be careful when dealing with them because although they will encourage you haggle they can use tactics to appeal to your emotion and in the end, you will be persuaded to pay a handsome price. Saw this a number of times and an experienced traveller will notice the same for sure. The desert tour I think is the highlight of the tour. We had a two or two and a half camel ride in the desert before arriving to our camp in Sahara. My wife and I opted for a private tent and it was nice and comfy. The dinner in the camp is o.k, but other members of the tour didn't like it. We had chicken tangine, some bread, pasta and seasonal fruits. I guess you just have to lower your expectations as there is no chef in the middle of the desert. After the meal, we gathered around the bonfire and spent some time listening to the beats of the drum and Moroccan percussion instrument which I don't remember what it is called. The sky was so clear you can see the milky way and even the faintest star.Truly a must experience when you to go to Morocco. Although it was a pleasant trip for us, I suggest you do your own research. There are trips which give you option for hotel or tent upgrade during the trip, check if it is worth paying extra. If you have time, try to go around other shops before buying anything to get the best price.

It was great, but please read..
We had en EXCELLENT driver. without him it would have been a bad trip. we lucked out. A lot of other people said their driver was bad, and it seems that it is 50/50. you will need to know that every stop you make on this trip revolves around them making money and helping each other out. if you get on this trip you will have to be a true traveler, who is used to unexpected scenarios that are not listed on their website. Here are key points to prep you: 1. No cost of any drinks is included anywhere. you have to pay for anything you drink including water. 2. The waiters and the service at the lunch place you will go to after ouarzazate is GARBAGE. 3. The buses and the mini vans are very nice and super super comfortable. 4. The food at the hotel you will stay in the first night is just OK. not enough and wont fill you at all. The hotel itself is just about average, but everyone is very nice. 5. You WILL pay for the guide on the second day, even if you dont want to. The website said this is optional. it is not. 6. The night at the desert is the highlight, and it is super amazing. My 2 cents is to pay the extra $100 for the upgraded tents. It is much much worth it. My group was separated to the lower tier, and the next morning we compared what we went through, so believe me if you are paying the money you might s well do it right.. 7. In fes we got dropped off in the center to be on our own, not at our hotels. this was very disappointing, but didnt upset me as i was really lucky and my riad was a few blocks away. Others were very far and were pissed. The site lied.. overall i do recommend them. go for it, but dont believe everything on their site.

So nice driver and so nice tour
The tour is exactly valuable with very nice driver! We even took the photos of stars in Sahara! Although the trip is long distance, it's really comfortable with a minivan.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To Fes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To Fes cost?
+
Prices start at €533 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To Fes take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 Marrakech is not rushed.
Is 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To Fes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To Fes?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To Fes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To Fes?
+
Around 3 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 Marrakech 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 Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Day Desert Tour From Marrakech To 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 Marrakech 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 Marrakech?
+
On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, 3 Days Merzouga Desert Tour from Marrakech with Luxury Camp, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. 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 Marrakech?
+
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 Marrakech?
+
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.
