A strict No No!!! Pls save yourself!!!
I wish there were an option to give a tour operator a negative review. This tour operator made our Morocco travel the worst nightmare. Hear the story. We reached Marrakesh and asked our hotel for a tour operator who could take us to Sahara desert. Our mistake was that we trusted the hotel guys, and did not bother to look for other operators with good reviews. So, we talked to this guy (Said or Syed) who charged us 135 Euro per person (270 for me and my husband) for a 3-day trip to the Sahara. We asked the guy for a comfortable and good tent in the desert not knowing that we had to exclusively ask for a luxurious tent/stay. Now, a night before we had to reach the tent, we stayed at a hotel which was decent. However, in the night a fire broke out at the hotel. We along with 5 people from our group were stuck on the top roof for a good 30-35 minutes scared for our lives. No one from the hotel had bothered to inform us that there was a fire breakout. It was my husband who smelled something and woke everyone up on the floor. My first issue with this tour operator, is why book such hotels that are not safe? What if something happened to anyone of us? Who would be responsible? Anyway, we reached the Sahara desert the next day and to the tent at around 6:30-7 in the evening. And voila! Here we got our room. A basic tent with no heating water, a washroom flush not working, room smelling like urine. The bed was freezing cold, and the blankets we had were smelling like Urgh! We wanted to ask someone to change the room, but no one was there!! It felt like we were disowned in a desert. Almost everyone who stayed there had some problem with the room, but whom to complain? We called this tour guide from there, but of course he did nothing! Why would he, he had all the money he wanted! At night, while I was freezing cold in the tent, I couldn't help but cry. Breakfast, dinner everything we had there was soo soo basic, And then we got to know that the place we were staying was a basic tent, however, luxurious tents have all the facilities to make a stay comfortable and memorable. The cherry on top was that, when everyone was discussing how much everyone paid for this stay, we were the ones who paid the most!! Few had paid 80 euros, a few 100 euros But us!! 135 Euro!! So, we paid the price of a Luxury tent and stayed in a basic tent! We returned to the hotel and talked to the tour operator but he did not care. We felt so cheated in Morocco. We are never going to return to Morocco again, so thanks to these guys for making our trip a disaster rather a memorable one. And whosoever is reading this, these guys are scams, please don't book from them. You will lose money, and might as well your life too!

Youness best driver
Youness is on top, always on time, always air conditioning. Youness is always available, shows you the best places in Marrakech. Youness agrees to make stops for purchases (pharmacy, crossroads) without increasing the price. Really great

Amazing service from Said
I traveled around Morroco with my family of 5, our driver Said was excellent throughout the tour, Said is very friendly & helpful. Biggest benefit I had was that we only paid Said as driver but he was a great tour guide is well he made our tour easy and enjoyable as we felt like we are travelling with a friend not a driver.

An exciting knowledge of Morocco
Beautiful trip with my wife through Berber villages and spectacular landscapes with experience on dromedary and night in desert tent with attached show. Abdoul was a very valuable guide, attentive to every need and prodigal information on everything, as well as very nice and friendly, we practically found a friend. Experience that we highly recommend and that we already plan to repeat in the Oukira Valley

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Days Merzouga desert tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does 3 Days Merzouga desert tour cost?
+
Prices start at €165 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 Merzouga desert tour 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 Days Merzouga desert tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 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 Days Merzouga desert tour?
+
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 Days Merzouga desert tour 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 Days Merzouga desert tour?
+
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 Days Merzouga desert tour 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.
What is included in 3 Days Merzouga desert tour?
+
Included: Dinner; Breakfast; Camel ride in open dunes; Transportation with a driver Guide; and Quality service reliability. Not included: Local Guide; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 3 Days Merzouga desert tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 821 listed pickup locations in and around Marrakech. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 3 Days Merzouga desert tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Days Merzouga desert tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is 3 Days Merzouga desert tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
