Wonderful trip to Merzouga with great driver / guide
We had a wonderful sightseeing trip to the Dades Valley, the desert near Merzouga and then onto Fez (2 nights, 3 days). It was an action-packed trip with lots of interesting excursions and stops, under the excellent care of our guide / driver Abdul. He made sure all our needs were met, was attentive and a very secure driver. He speaks good English as well as French, so communicating with him was easy. Would highly recommend this guide / driver as well as the trip. Our only suggestion would be to do it in four days, as for three days it is quite packed in the winter time when the days are shorter. But overall, a really great trip.

A must for your first tour!
Wonderful experience! The tour was very well organized and all of the accommodations were quality. My safety and comfort was always priority, which allowed me to be fully immersed in the journey. A special thanks to Khalid, my tour guide and friend, who made my first trip to Marrakech one I will never forget. He is very knowledgeable about Berber and Moroccan history and current events. He was always professional, engaging, and most of all, passionate about the tour. I not only recommend Moroccan Travel Trips but also Khalid as your tour guide.

Amazing tour with breath-taking landscapes and few tourists - a hidden gem
The most incredible 3 days on the road through morocco. We decided to spend a bit extra to have a private driver so we could stop where we liked and have a more personal experience. Drisse our guide and driver was absolutely amazing! He was so knowledgeable about everything (not just morocco but the whole world) and knew all the sights we drove past. This trip involved a lot of driving and Drisse always did so in a cheerful way. The landscape changed so much along the trip, we said it was like going from Utah to Nevada to Arizona, but with beautiful villages and less tourists too. This is a hidden gem of North Africa and you HAVE to do this trip, you will not regret it. There’s so much to see and do, if you enjoy road trips, this is the tour for you! We had the best time, thank you Drisse for an unforgettable trip.
Response from the operator: Hello Hanna, many thanks for your wonderful review, we really appreciate it, Mohamed is one of the best drivers in our company, another time; thanks for choosing our services,

Marakech to Fes through Merzouga and everything in between
When we came to Morocco, we did some research about the language, food and culture about this country. Morocco also put its name in the worked map after the World cup heroics! However, this trip was a great way to understand this beautiful country intimately. We started the trip at Marrakech. Our trip was supposed to start at 8 am but our Touda manager was able to negotiate with our guide to start at 8:30 so that we can have breakfast. We met our driver cum guide Khaled at the Medina at 8:30. The highlight of our trip was to have khaled as our companion. We learned a lot about the country and the culture, the good and the bad in addition to the sites of interest. On the first day we went to Dades valley and stayed at the beautiful Babylon hotel for the night. We drove through small villages on the lower Atlas mountain region and Ouarzazate. On the second day we left early for the Desert. The camel ride through the sand to the camp site was awesome, we stayed at the camp where the everything was perfect. The sunset and sunrise in the Sahara was awesome! The next morning, we got a bit delayed because the ride from the camp (4 wheel drive. You can opt for camel ride back as well but we decided for a shorter trip). Khaled was waiting for us at the Riad and we started our journey to Fes around 9 am. It was a long trip and we drove through changing Moroccan landscapes of desert, mountains, valleys before we reached Fes in the evening. We would recommend Khaled and this trip to everyone reading.
Response from the operator: Hello Mr. Many thanks for your great review, it was a big pleasure to have those days with you, you are all the welcome here, thank you again. Mouhssine & Khalid

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3-Days Private Tour from Marrakech to Fez through Merzouga Desert: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does 3-Days Private Tour from Marrakech to Fez through Merzouga Desert cost?
+
Prices start at $390 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 Private Tour from Marrakech to Fez through Merzouga Desert 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 Private Tour from Marrakech to Fez through Merzouga Desert worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 29 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 Private Tour from Marrakech to Fez through Merzouga Desert?
+
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 Private Tour from Marrakech to Fez through Merzouga Desert 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 Private Tour from Marrakech to Fez through Merzouga Desert?
+
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-Days Private Tour from Marrakech to Fez through Merzouga Desert 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.
