New Year’s Eve at the desert
We had the 3 days tour to Sahara from Marrakech to celebrate New Year’s Eve. Abdel our driver was very polite, always on time and he came for the pick up to our Riad. The most important is that he was driving very safely and he was always taking care of us. The group was small with only 7 persons and this was very convenient! The food during the stops for lunch and the dinner at “Merzouga Dunes Luxury Camps” was below average. Also the tents were old and the bathroom although it was private with hot water, the whole bathroom flooded after the usage. The dinner area was nothing special and because the camp was big, the service was not good. I wouldn’t like to stay in this camp again so I do not recommend it (Bivouac). However it worth mentioning that the party for the New Year’s Eve was amazing and we had a very good time. The first night we stayed at a village at a local Riad owned by a family! Don’t expect any facilities and special treatment, but you will feel the authenticity of the morrocaine hospitality. Overall the experience was good and we enjoyed the new friends, our driver, the desert and the Ait Ben Haddou village! This place is unique!

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Marrakech to the Desert – 3 Days to Merzouga Sahara Desert: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does Marrakech to the Desert – 3 Days to Merzouga Sahara Desert cost?
+
Prices start at $125 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 to the Desert – 3 Days to Merzouga Sahara Desert 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 to the Desert – 3 Days to Merzouga Sahara Desert worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 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 to the Desert – 3 Days to Merzouga Sahara Desert?
+
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 to the Desert – 3 Days to Merzouga Sahara Desert 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 Marrakech to the Desert – 3 Days to Merzouga Sahara Desert?
+
Around 0 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 to the Desert – 3 Days to Merzouga Sahara Desert 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.
