A unique and highly recommended adventure
An unforgettable experience from start to finish. The guides were exceptional: very attentive, kind, and always willing to ensure we enjoyed the experience to the fullest. The food was excellent, with very delicious and well-prepared dishes. In addition, the tents were very well equipped, clean, and comfortable, which made the stay even more special.

The whole experience was the highlight of our trip to Morocco! We were a family of adult siblings and partners and many of us said it was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives. Salim was just amazing and really made the trip the spectacular experience that it was. He was kind, patient, great sense of humor, fantastic calm driver and all around wonderful person to spend time with. The camp staff were all fantastic and the food was very good and more than enough. The camp is in a most beautiful setting.

3 days desert tour from Marrakech to fez
We did the three day excursion with hassan, leaving Marrakech to Fez, passing through the Gorges du Dades and Todra. At all times, hassan was extremely considerate and kind. We had everything we needed. It was without a doubt the perfect choice to see many incredible landscapes in such a short time, in a mixture of comfort and adventure.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for visiting our country and thank you for your trust in Marrakech Camel Trips S.A.R.L, we hope to receive you again and share a new experience, Best regards Brahim From Marrakech Camel trips

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Camel Ride & Overnight in Desert Camp Merzouga: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merzouga.
How much does Camel Ride & Overnight in Desert Camp Merzouga cost?
+
Prices start at $78 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Merzouga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Camel Ride & Overnight in Desert Camp Merzouga take?
+
Plan for about 16 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 Merzouga is not rushed.
Is Camel Ride & Overnight in Desert Camp Merzouga worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Merzouga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Camel Ride & Overnight in Desert Camp Merzouga?
+
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 Camel Ride & Overnight in Desert Camp Merzouga 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 16-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Camel Ride & Overnight in Desert Camp Merzouga?
+
Around 2 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 Merzouga 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 Merzouga and add a light layer if any part of the 16-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Camel Ride & Overnight in Desert Camp Merzouga 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 Merzouga 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 Merzouga?
+
On Outty we rank every Merzouga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Camel Trekking & 1 Night in Merzouga Desert Camp, From Merzouga: 2-Nights In Luxury Camp with Camel Trek & Dinner., Overnight in Merzouga with unforgettable Sunset & Camel/Quad ride. 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 Merzouga?
+
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 Merzouga?
+
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.
