Great, absolutely must do.

A breathtaking landscape, almost luxurious accommodation conditions for such an environment, delicate food, a formidable Welcoming... But beware of the conditions of return of the camp: even if your tour operator plans a return from the camp possible by car in the performance, it is not always possible once there. Another important point, I break down an open door but, it is the desert, think of the water!!!

Response from the operator: Merci infiniment pour votre retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la beauté du désert, le confort de notre camp, la qualité des repas et l’accueil de notre équipe. Votre satisfaction est notre plus belle récompense. Et oui, vous avez tout à fait raison : dans le désert, l’eau est essentielle ! Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une autre expérience inoubliable à Merzouga.

Not positive.

Unfortunately my experience with this travel agency was not positive. I went on a 2-day desert tour, with one night camping, and was guaranteed that my luggage would be transported directly to the campsite. However, once I arrived, I found that the luggage had remained in the minivan and was never taken to the camp. This caused a lot of inconvenience, as in my luggage were allergy medication and warm clothes, indispensable to face the freezing night in the desert. The situation was really uncomfortable and I expected a more attentive and professional service, considering that the agency had made specific commitments. Unfortunately, I cannot give a positive rating for the tour.

Response from the operator: Siamo spiacenti di leggere la sua recensione e della disavventura che ha descritto. Tuttavia, crediamo ci sia stato un errore, in quanto non troviamo alcuna prenotazione a suo nome presso la nostra agenzia, Tours in Morocco. Forse ha avuto questa esperienza con un'altra compagnia? Le consigliamo di verificare il nome dell'agenzia per poter indirizzare correttamente il suo feedback. Se ha bisogno di chiarimenti o ulteriori informazioni, saremo felici di aiutarla. Cordiali saluti,

Camel Trekking Experience with Overnight at Merzouga Desert Camp: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Camel Trekking Experience with Overnight at Merzouga Desert Camp cost?

+

Prices start at $58 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 Trekking Experience with Overnight at Merzouga Desert Camp take?

+

Plan for about 15 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 Trekking Experience with Overnight at Merzouga Desert Camp worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Trekking Experience with Overnight at Merzouga Desert Camp?

+

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 Trekking Experience with Overnight at Merzouga Desert Camp 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 15-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Camel Trekking Experience with Overnight at Merzouga Desert Camp?

+

Around 1 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 15-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Camel Trekking Experience with Overnight at Merzouga Desert Camp 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., Camel Trekking & 1 Night in Merzouga Desert Camp, Merzouga Desert – Camel Ride & Overnight in the 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.
