Grateful for Mohamed's help and 100% accurate knowledge!
I arrived in Merzouga at night and was lucky to run into Mohamed, who really helped me out. He took me to his home and arranged transportation to my final destination in the dunes. He also arranged my return transport to Errachidia. I was confused about a few things and had gotten some not completely accurate information from other people. He not only explained everything but it turned out he was 100% correct too. He really knows what he is talking about. He is also friendly and hospitable, I highly recommend him and his company.
Response from the operator: We would like to thank you for taking the time to post your review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with us. We are hoping to see you again in Morocco ! Once again, thank you very much for taking your time to review your experience with Merzouga Online company ! Kind Regards

Amazing Morroco experience
I took a tour from Merzouga through Boumalne Dades and Marrakech to Fes.It was an amazing time, and amazing people.I learn a lot about things in Morocco that you can not learn if you are not travelling with locals. First night we spend in Merzouga, and that was the best thing i did in Morocco.Camel trekking and night in the desert, something that you will remember all your life. And after that we went to beautifull Boumalne Dades when we spent a night in awesome hotel. After Boumalne Dades we went to Marrkaech and visited this such a beautifull city. Something you can not miss. And about more normal things as prices and organisation. Everything was perfect. Price was very attractive, everything was well organized, places we stayed were great, transport was very comfortable and safe.

Merzouga magic
We came to Merzouga during the night without a plan and a place to stay. And then we met Mohamed who was kind enough to offer us to stay at his place. From the moment we walked in, we felt like home. There we also met Mustafa. The guys were the best host you can imagine, relaxed, funny and reliable. We had great time with them. In very short time, and for a very good price, they arranged us a trip to the desert which was one of the best experiences in our life and one of my most favorite memories. If you are in Morocco, camel trekking tour is one of the things you must do. Sleeping in the middle of the desert, seeing ALL the stars on the sky, climbing the surrounding dunes and dinner next to the candles are simply breathtaking.

Why this scores 71

Camel Trek Bivouac Merzouga: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merzouga.
How much does Camel Trek Bivouac Merzouga cost?
+
Prices start at $63 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 Trek Bivouac Merzouga take?
+
Plan for about 18 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 Trek Bivouac Merzouga worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Trek Bivouac 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 Trek Bivouac Merzouga suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 18-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Camel Trek Bivouac 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 18-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Camel Trek Bivouac 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 From Merzouga: 2-Nights In Luxury Camp with Camel Trek & Dinner., Overnight in a Luxury Merzouga Desert Camp – Camel Ride & Meals, Camel Trekking & 1 Night in Merzouga Desert Camp. 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.
