Great experience.
Abdejalil, from Tarboosh Travel, is super nice, kind and honest. He was great at communication and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The driver that was provided - Said - for Sahara dessert tour was great. He was friendly, talked and explained about things on the way, explained some of the history and culture of the Amazigh people. We did have an issue with the car not working and had to skip one of the visits to get to the hotel at a decent time - not Said’s fault. Said did everything he could to get it fixed at the soonest. The rose valley hotel we stayed at was not upto our expectations. There were cleanliness issues - found strands of hair on the pillows. Also, the room was very small. Also, for anyone who wants to spend more time in Sahara or at the attractions, this tour is not recommended as the stops are short and limited to ensure they stay on track with the itinerary.
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup nipapa pour ce joli message et pour votre sincérité

Best experience and fantastic travel agency (Tarboosh Travel)
Can’t recommend this travel agency enough! Abdejalil, from Tarboosh Travel, is super nice, kind and honest. Everything he said, was delivered. He stayed in touch throughout the trip to make sure everything was going according to plan, and it sure did! Great camping with private tent and bathroom. Superb experience for sure! The Hotel at Ouarzazat was great too. And the our driver (Mohamed) was beyond fantastic! He was a great driver and a superb guide. He kept explaining everything we saw and giving us data on Morocco’s daily life. 10/10! Thank you so much!!!
Response from the operator: thank you very much Aliona for this nice review, god bless and protect you all the time

Best Service Ever!
Our 3 day trip to the desert was outstanding! Every few hours we stopped at interesting spots. Tarboosh's advise was always spot on there and in Chefchaouin. He had excellent follow up and provided the best drivers. We loved Tarek. Thank you to everyone at Tarboosh Travel, when we come again, we will use you again!
Response from the operator: Hi Larry & Teresa, thank very much for this nice review

Excellent agency
Everything was perfect Communication: when booking the tours, after booking them, once in Morocco and during the trip. It was clear for me since the beginning that Tarboosh was a serious agency with very nice people that only want to offer a good service. The tour was as agreed, everything was incredible and on time. Our guide/van driver Jamal was amazing always with an smile, answering questions and a good driver! Price was fair and quality/cost relation is more than convenient. If I was not clear enough yet: I totally recommend this agency for your tours in Morocco!!!
Response from the operator: Thank very much for this nice review.

Fes Merzouga Marrakesh adventure
The 3 day trip covered quite a bit. Sahara desert camel ride at Merzouga was the highlight. Weathering mini sandstorms, monkeys, Atlas film studio at Ourzazate, kasbah at Ait Ben Hadou, Todra canyon, geodes and fossils from the high Atlas mountains rounded up the experience. Will attempt a longer desert stay next time. Definitely a next time.
Response from the operator: Thank very much for this nice review.

Desert Trip:Fès-Merzouga(1 Night)-Ouarzazat(1 Night)-Marrakech: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does Desert Trip:Fès-Merzouga(1 Night)-Ouarzazat(1 Night)-Marrakech cost?
+
Prices start at $250 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Desert Trip:Fès-Merzouga(1 Night)-Ouarzazat(1 Night)-Marrakech 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 Fez is not rushed.
Is Desert Trip:Fès-Merzouga(1 Night)-Ouarzazat(1 Night)-Marrakech worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 34 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Desert Trip:Fès-Merzouga(1 Night)-Ouarzazat(1 Night)-Marrakech?
+
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 Desert Trip:Fès-Merzouga(1 Night)-Ouarzazat(1 Night)-Marrakech 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 Desert Trip:Fès-Merzouga(1 Night)-Ouarzazat(1 Night)-Marrakech?
+
Around 12 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 Fez 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 Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Desert Trip:Fès-Merzouga(1 Night)-Ouarzazat(1 Night)-Marrakech 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 Fez 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 Fez?
+
On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Day Trip to Chefchaouen from Fez ( instagram /Photos ), Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 2 Days Desert Tour from Fes to Fes/Marrakech via Erg Chebbi. 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 Fez?
+
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 Fez?
+
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.
