Desert adventure!
It was a great trip, lots of travel time; the journey back was about 10hrs which was broken up by a couple of stops for snacks and toilet breaks. On the trip you’ll stop at co-operatives where you’ll have the opportunity to buy things such as argan oil at tourist prices… you’ll also be taken to restaurants which are feeding the masses from tour groups so the quality of food is not particularly good and again fetches tourist prices.. there is limited to no choice as to where to eat so just keep this in mind when embarking on the trip. Other than that it was a great trip, incredible sights seeing the desert and everyone is very friendly. Buy water and snacks before going as everything is more expensive on the road.

Excellent experience
Perfect! Omar, our driver if you can say so, was not just a driver! He made us discover his country with so much knowledge and passion! A thousand thanks! Many thanks also to our guide in Dades Gorge, our guide Houssayn “Happy group, big babana 😁” of Todra Gorge and the family who received us in the camp in the Merzouga desert! Experience recommended! You can let yourself be guided with your eyes closed!

Best 3 nights with a great Guide
I joined with my mother. On the way to the desert, I was able to stop at various places and fully enjoy the nature and culture of Morocco. I looked at a lot of photos and stuff beforehand, and the desert I saw in person was so magnificent and moving that I can't put it into words. We were lucky enough to have a clear sky, so both the sunset and the sunrise were amazing. The starry sky seen from the desert was also beautiful. Camels were scary at first, but you get used to them, so it's okay. It will cause muscle pain lol Merzouga is quite far from Marrakech, and when I did my research beforehand, I was worried to see reviews that said it was difficult to get around, but I didn't find it that hard because I had a 30-minute break every hour or two, or an hour walking in nature by spots. However, you should definitely take some sobriety pills on your way home as you will be continuing on the mountain road. My mother and I looked pretty hard around lol There were 16 people on the tour, including us, from different countries and ages, but the people around us were very kind and enjoyed it. We played games on the bus, and there was a birthday party member who went with us and sang Happy Birthday. We didn't speak much English so we couldn't talk much, but everyone was kind and I was grateful for all the care they took. The Guide was Hamid, who was very cheerful and cared for us because we didn't speak English. I was worried about the tour being in English, but I'm not worried about that at all. I listen to the explanations of the local Guides at each spot, but I don't think there is a problem because you can fully enjoy it even if you don't understand it. In the Berber village there was a carpet exhibition and sale. We didn't buy them, but some of them went with us. It is not cheap considering the prices in Morocco, but I felt like I could negotiate a price. We were all applauding every time we reached a deal. It looks like I can pay with my card. I think it's better to think of everything else as cash only. Meals are self-financed during the day, and mornings and nights are included. It is around 140 dirhams per person during the day. We asked for one for both of us to share, and it was fine. It was just a bit of tagine day and night, so if you want to eat tagine in Morocco, you can go out of your way to eat it on this tour instead of somewhere else. At night, rice is included, but only drinks are always paid separately. We didn't serve alcohol in a desert tent overnight, so we all bought alcohol in a service area beforehand. You can contact us in advance for your accommodation so that we can pick you up nearby. On the way back, we would probably have to drop them off at the same place if we didn’t say anything, but we were going to stay at a different place from where we were going, so on the way back, we told them that we were going to stay, and they dropped us off at a different place. Since we use whatsapp to communicate with people until pickup, it’s a good idea to include the app in advance. In general, it was a very fun and moving two nights and three days. The prices are reasonable and it's a great way to explore the desert.

Marrakech: 3D2N Merzouga Dunes, Hotel, Camp, Camel & Sandboarding: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does Marrakech: 3D2N Merzouga Dunes, Hotel, Camp, Camel & Sandboarding cost?
+
Prices start at €99 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 Marrakech: 3D2N Merzouga Dunes, Hotel, Camp, Camel & Sandboarding 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 Marrakech: 3D2N Merzouga Dunes, Hotel, Camp, Camel & Sandboarding worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 5 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 Marrakech: 3D2N Merzouga Dunes, Hotel, Camp, Camel & Sandboarding?
+
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 Marrakech: 3D2N Merzouga Dunes, Hotel, Camp, Camel & Sandboarding 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 Marrakech: 3D2N Merzouga Dunes, Hotel, Camp, Camel & Sandboarding?
+
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 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 Marrakech: 3D2N Merzouga Dunes, Hotel, Camp, Camel & Sandboarding 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 Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, 3 Days Merzouga Desert Tour from Marrakech with Luxury Camp, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. 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.
