    incredible experience

    Me and my friends we had a perfect experience at the desert camp this is the place! From the moment we made the reservation the hami contact us and explained all the details we need. When we enter to Sahara the stuf found us on the way, helped us to park the car and brought us to the camel location. The stuff took us with the camels to the place, on the way we stooped for beautiful sunset and when we arrive we was welcomed by tea and water. The tants are perfect, you feel like at Aladdin movie, very comfortable and beautiful. At the evening we had delicious dinner and after that beautiful performance by the stuff on the drums with traditional Moroccan music. We suggest to wake up to for the sunrise in the morning, Highly recommended this place to spend 1 o 2 nights in the desert duns

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your review and welcome anytime you come back to Merzouga desert Whtsp +212750206066

    We have span 1 night camping in Erg chebbi desert

    The camp is beautiful and the tents are very well decorated. Breakfast and dinner are exceptional. I'm sure there's no better campsite in Erg chebbi desert than this one, in every way: customer service (Hami is always asking if everything is ok and if we're happy, this is priceless!) food, interior and exterior decoration in the tents. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended this camp in Erg chebbi desert.

    Warm hug in the warm desert

    Best experience we could ask in the desert! True maroccan hospitality and true kindness from all the Berber family. They welcomed us so warmly, talk with us about traditions, custums etc. Prepare a very good dinner and breakfast in the tend and make our night funny with dancing and traditional music! Recommend this crew to everyone, it worth a lot!!

    Great desert experience with delicious food

    Amazing experience!! We booked for a tent without private shower and toilet, but we got an upgrade wich was very friendly. The guys who worked at the camp were all super helpful and did everything to make it comfortable for us. Best part about the trip was the food. The dinner at night is delicious and A LOT. Defenitly reccomand it!!

    Unforgettable Sahara Desert Experience!

    We had a wonderful experience in the Sahara desert with Hami and his team. They kindly picked up us from the bus station early after our overnight bus journey from Fes and let us rest in our beautiful luxury tent. Our evening consisted of a lovely camel ride to watch the sunset over the dunes followed by a very hearty Moroccan dinner with more food than we could possibly eat. We concluded the evening with some lovely traditional Berber music and some romantic stargazing under the beautiful skies. We highly recommend this activity to anyone coming to the Sahara! An unforgettable experience with some incredibly kind and welcoming people.

    3 days desert tours from marrakech & back: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does 3 days desert tours from marrakech & back cost?

    +

    Prices start at $3 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 days desert tours from marrakech & back take?

    +

    Plan for about 80.5 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 days desert tours from marrakech & back worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 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 days desert tours from marrakech & back?

    +

    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 days desert tours from marrakech & back suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 80.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 days desert tours from marrakech & back?

    +

    Around 5 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 80.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 days desert tours from marrakech & back 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.
