Terrible experience. Not trustworthy guides. Our things went missing.
Do NOT use this tour company and RUN AWAY if you get Ahmed as your guide. He is very dishonest. Our personal bottles of water would be TAKEN from our bags and put into store shop coolers “to get cool - I will cool the water for you”. But when we went to get them back out, the shop owner wanted to charge us!!! Most of my precious water went missing. I NEEDED the water for teeth brushing and drinking. I ended up very dehydrated!!! We also stopped at several liquor stores and stocked up. I purchased 4 bottles of wine and 3 bottles of beer. THREE BOTTLES WERE STOLEN AND ONE OF THE BEERS!!! These are hard to get and expensive!! Another person in our group personally witnessed Ahmed TAKING a bottle of wine out of her bag!!!! She NEVER GOT IT BACK!!!! This tour group is not trustworthy!!! The food at the tent camp was terrible!!! They forced us to leave earlier than scheduled and we had to miss breakfast that we paid for. He was very aggressive for us to leave. When we tried to ask questions he brushed us off. He also had us stop at every tourist trap stop. We wanted to get there not stop every fifteen minutes.

Avoid, this provider.
The provider did not show up at the appointed date and place. They told us they were unable to provide the service that day, especially for such a small group. We had booked and prepaid the tour weeks in advance, but received no prior notice. When we called them, their response was not appropriate and quite unhelpful. They were even rude and tried to blame us for not calling in advance to reconfirm the reservation. At least Viatour supported us getting a timely refund.

Our trip from Marrakech to Fez in December when it's very cold
It was a wonderful trip. The first part to Merzouga was nice. I thank Youssef and Karim for showing us cooperatives and tell us a little bit of information about the places we visited. Don't get scared because at the first night you will not stay all tourists from the bus In the same hotel The accommodation in the desert was very nice. It was warm, the AC heated the tent like a champion. Thr night in the desert was nice, with music and dancing around the fire. The camel ride was interesting and we liked it very much. The second part of the trip, from Merzouga to Fez was a little bit off. We didn't go by the itinerary. We didn't visit Iframe and neither the forest with the monkeys. It was a little bit chaotic the trip to Fez because we have switched drivers and nobody could tell us who are we assigned to. After 20 min we have found our driver and depart to Fez. The rest of the trip was very nice. Incredible landscapes along the way. It was worth it

Good 3 day experience but be flexible for some bumps
Overall a good experience but be flexible. The meeting point in Marrakech Hotel Ali was under renovations when I scouted it the day before. I sent them a pic so they told me to meet Hotel Tazi down the street. They should have informed me themselves. The guide was Abdul and Saeed was the driver. They wanted us to join a whatsapp group which I did not want to as I dont join group chats. Then they wanted us to upload a selfie when we could see everyone on the bus. Day 1 lunch very overpriced 130 Dirhams (13 Euros). I had pizza in Marrakech for 20 dirham and a panini sandwich and fries for 25 dirham so this was way overpriced. First night hotel they claimed I "might not get my own room and would have to share" if there were not enough rooms causing anxiety but luckily I had my own room. Driver Saeed would take the microphone, sing, and clap along while driving with one hand which was not safe. Also they had some private joke about me and tried teasing me so I just avoided them most of the trip. Camel trekking was quite nice. I had my private room with own shower. There were no plug outlets except for one USB that did not work properly. The evening camp music was very amateur and poorly organized. Lunch was a buffet also overpriced again at 120 Dirham when I had been buying food on Marrakesh for below 30 Dirham. Next morning 6am departure was not properly explained. I thought it was a joke and I was still in bed so had to rush and gather all my stuff when the camp had completely cleared so I missed breakfast. I did the dune buggy ATV back instead of camel which was quite fun. I was the only one transferring to Fes from our group while the rest went back to Marrakesh. Originally the guide said it was 70 Euros extra so I had the tour company message him that I had already paid for Fes transfer. They put us in a 7 person smaller taxi that did not have windows that open but I was in a good spot so ok. Lunch again was an expensive restaurant 100 Dirham but we found somewhere across the street for half price. Overall a good experience, they delivery everything in itinerary. Just be prepared it can be a bit of a party bus and there may be some teasing involved. Lunches are very overpriced compare to what I pay for food in Marrakech, Fes or other cities. If you are not going back to Marrakesh and going to Fes make sure the guide is aware as I was the only one.

Good three day trip but be prepared to be flexible and over priced lunches
Overall great experience but just some minor items. Meeting point in Marrakech Hotel Ali was under construction when I scouted it out and they told me to goto Hotel Tazi down the street instead. We had Abdul/Saeed as the guide/driver. They made us join a whatsapp group chat and upload a selfie which I did not want to do as I do not join any group chats, mostly people uploading their pics during trip. Lunch was 130 dirham when I had the same pizza in Marrakesh for 20 dirham so food options overpriced. Same on day 2 where lunch again was 120 dirham. I can get a panini sandwich with fries in town for only 25 dirham so these tourist prices are quite high. First night hotel was good but we arrived quite late. Dinner included. Second night we did the camel trek and stayed in the tents. I had private tent with ensuite shower. Next morning departures 6am was not properly communicated, i thought they were joking and was sleeping in. The evenings campfire music was very amateur and not rehearsed. Return trip I did the dune buggy instead of camel trek back. I was the only one in group going to Fes which I had to explain to guide and have the tour company explain to him as he didnt know and thought we are all going back to Marrakech. Like other reviews say they put you in a smaller 7 passenger van that is quite hot with windows that do not open much. They took us to another expensive restaurant for lunch but this time we had options so we went across the road for half price. Overall good tour but just be prepared to be a bit flexible. A bit of a "party bus" so just go with the flow.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Marrakech: 3-Day Tour To Fez Via-Desert merzouga: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does From Marrakech: 3-Day Tour To Fez Via-Desert merzouga cost?
+
Prices start at $130 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 From Marrakech: 3-Day Tour To Fez Via-Desert merzouga 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 From Marrakech: 3-Day Tour To Fez Via-Desert merzouga worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 46 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 From Marrakech: 3-Day Tour To Fez Via-Desert 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 From Marrakech: 3-Day Tour To Fez Via-Desert 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 72-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book From Marrakech: 3-Day Tour To Fez Via-Desert merzouga?
+
Around 16 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 From Marrakech: 3-Day Tour To Fez Via-Desert 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 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, Best Marrakech to Fes Sahara Desert Tour with Camp & Camel Trek, 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.
