We booked this trip in...
We booked this trip in Oct 2024 for 4 of us (2 elderly in our group). Like what the other reviewers commented, we were unaware where we are heading to during the whole trip, the driving for each destination is long. The Ksar Ait Ben Haddou was not optional at all. Even though we inform them that our elderly parents are unable to take the stairs and wish to wait at the ending pt or at the restaurant while the grp can proceed. The guide lie to us saying that it is the only way to get to the restaurant, which is for us to go through Ait Ben Haddou by climbing the stairs up and then down and exit from the bridge. We later realised that it was not the case. They could just walk to the restaurant( end pt) by the main road. The hotel that we stayed overnight in was shabby and cold even though we paid for the luxury option. 3 tajines were shared among a grp of 10 and it's obviously not enough for some big guys. The trip back to Fes was in a taxi, where 6 passengers and a driver shared. Not that comfortable for a long drive.

Great tour
Great tour and way to see the country of Morocco. Friendly driver and lots of stops along the long drive. Enjoyable sites in the valley and Aït Benhaddou. Sahara desert camp was definitely the highlight of the trip. The camel ride through the desert and accompanying views were unbeatable. Campsite was spacious, clean, and wonderfully decorated. Enjoyed the food and nighttime dance/music.
Response from the operator: Dear Traveler , Wow! Thank you very much for your 5 star rating and for such great review , i'm so glad that you enjoyed your experience and we really met your expectations. Looking forward to seing you again soon . All the best

Great tour, friendly driver, nicely paced
Me and my boyfriend did this tour in February. We were joined by 4 others. Our driver was the lovely Mustafa. He was friendly and welcoming, spoke good English and made sure we were all happy and enjoying ourselves. The van was comfortable and although there is a lot of driving on this trip, we had lots of breaks at different view points/shops/cafes etc to stretch our legs. The tour around Ben Haddou was really interesting with a fun guide. The stay in the mountains was in a huge fancy hotel where we were the only guests so was a bit weird but I assume it gets much busier in the summer. The camel ride was great, and the berbers entertained us after dinner with lots of drumming and singing. We stayed in the middle accommodation which is just a bed in a tent but that's all we needed. It's VERY cold so be prepared and take lots of layers. We also really enjoyed the tour with Omar(?) around Goulmima Ksar, we learnt lots of history and about the way of life there. He even showed us inside his father's home. I would definitely recommend the tour, particularly if you have Mustafa as your driver!
Response from the operator: Dear happy Guest , Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such nice review. we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience. Looking forward to seeing you soon

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
From Marrakech To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does From Marrakech To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared cost?
+
Prices start at $110 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 To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared 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 To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 28 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 To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared?
+
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 To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared 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 From Marrakech To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared?
+
Around 10 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 To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared 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, 3 Day Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Tour Camel Rides and Overnight. 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.
