We understand how uncomfortable the heat can be, particularly when trying to sleep in the Sahara. Your comments are very valuable and will help us improve these aspects of the experience. We’re glad that, despite these inconveniences, you still had a very good overall experience. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you again in Morocco

Amazing experience for budget price.
Our guides Idris and another were really nice and brought us safely from one to another place. They also made sure that everybody was happy and doing well during the ride. The trip itself was what you payed for. The first hotel night was a very basic hotel where the electricity went out at night and we therefore had no airconditioning in 30 degrees. The people from the hotel were really nice though and made our night with berber music on the guitar and tambourines on the rooftop terrace. The second night was in the desert camp which was closer to the town than we expected. We thought it wouldve been more in the Sahara. Before and after the camp we had the possibility to shower in the hotel where de guides stayed which was pleasant. The camp itself had water and regular toilets but no shower and no plugs for charging so thats something to keep in mind. Also keep in mind that only 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners are included. On the first day you need to bring breakfast or buy some at the first stop. The lunches were around 120 dh which included a warm meal and a drink. Also know that some tips for the guides add up. These things aside we thought that is was the most amazing experience we’ve ever had and visiting the Sahara is definitaly worth it! If we would have the possibility to do it over we would for sure do it again. Just keep in mind that you pay for a budget tour so you get a budget tour but still our drivers were amazing and made the experience so much better.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback We’re delighted to hear that you had an amazing experience and that Idris and the team made your journey safe, enjoyable, and memorable. We also appreciate your honest comments regarding the accommodation, the camp, and the included meals. Your feedback is valuable and will help us continue improving our services. Thank you for your recommendation!

Why this scores 71
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Day Merzouga Sahara with Camel Trek, Meals & Sandboarding: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does 3-Day Merzouga Sahara with Camel Trek, Meals & Sandboarding cost?
+
Prices start at $1 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 Merzouga Sahara with Camel Trek, Meals & Sandboarding 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 Merzouga Sahara with Camel Trek, Meals & Sandboarding worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3-Day Merzouga Sahara with Camel Trek, Meals & Sandboarding?
+
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 3-Day Merzouga Sahara with Camel Trek, Meals & Sandboarding suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 72-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 3-Day Merzouga Sahara with Camel Trek, Meals & Sandboarding?
+
Around 10 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 Merzouga Sahara with Camel Trek, Meals & Sandboarding 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 Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, From Marrakech To Essaouira Mogador Full Day Trip | Small-group, Agafay Desert Package, Quad Bike, Camel Ride and Dinner Show. 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.
