    Magical, magnificent, out of this world

    Hands down the best place we spent in a location. The stars so vivid at night, the camel ride so magical, the beautiful sunrise, the amazing sunset, the sands so clean, untouched and pure. Do yourself a favour and come to this place!

    Ships of the desert took us across the sandy sea

    It was time to catch the sunrise as we were awakened by the smell of rich coffee in our desert tent-camp. After a quick breakfast, we boarded our 4 x 4s to voyage out into the desert where we met up with Said and Aboud, two Berbers who owned a herd of camels. They were members of the Toureg tribe (associated with their blue garments and known as the blue people). We met and mounted our trusty steeds, also known as ships of the desert and ventured forth across the wavy sand, crossing dunes and enjoying views from on high. We were out for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours before returning to our Toyota and Jeep 4X4s for a traditional glass of mint tea. A fantastic time was had by all. 731000594

    Wonderful

    we did both sunset safari and sunrise safari for 150 MAD each. It was for about 1 1/2 hours each. The camel owners will take you only about 4-5 kms inside the sahara from the main road. However if you are a die hard fan and have time and are ready to bear the sun, I think doing a safari till deep inside would be good though we did not have time to do that. The 1 1/2 hours safari which we did in January end 2017 was a really awesome experience. Must do for travellers. It was really cold early morning so you need to wear proper clothes. Another option which we saw many people doing and we thought was very nice is that people walked till the sunrise point in the morning and walked back. So maybe if you are okay with walking in the dessert and have enough time you could do one walk but hey...camel ride is an awesome experience so can do both sunrise and sunset

    Amazing

    Amazing experience in the desert. I was afraid it would be corny to be on camels and all but it wasn't at all. We really loved it.

    Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.

    How much does Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride cost?

    +

    Prices start at €89 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 Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride 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 Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 899 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride 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 Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride?

    +

    Around 315 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 Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride 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.

    What is included in Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride?

    +

    Included: Traditional Moroccan dinner under the stars; Private transportation; Access to swimming pool with desert views; Overnight stay in a private luxury tent; and Camel ride at sunset in Agafay Desert. Not included: Bar access at the desert camp. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 2 listed pickup locations in and around Marrakech. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Merzouga Desert 3-Day Tour from Marrakech with Camel Ride if the weather is bad?

    +
