Great trip with even better Driver
The whole trip was full of adventures and interesting facts about Morocco and the different people living here. Had a great time learning about cultures and history on this trip. The driver Hassan was always friendly and we had breaks every now and then, which really helped the trip to be relaxing even though you can see a lot of Morocco.

DO NOT GO ON
My family went on this tour and we were very disappointed. There was little to no information about what was going on during the tour, and the only person in the car was the driver who did not speak english. They would open the car door and tell everyone to get out, but we never knew where we were, or what we were doing. We stopped at a village used for the filming of game of thrones, which is an actual Berber village but our guide there absolutely refused to tell us where we were or any of the history as we were walking. After he charged us for coming with him, which we werent informed of. Most of the restaurants they brought us to were expensive with small plates that we had to pay for. The first night we stayed at an ok hotel but it did not have a pool. We then traveled to the desert and our driver got lost and by the time he dropped us at the correct place, there were not enough camels for all of the group to take a ride. The men at the camp became irate and said it was our fault and refused to take any of the group on the remaining camels. A fight ensued with a lot of yelling and finally it was agreed that some people would get on the camels. When we got into the desert it became dark quickly and they somehow did not have enough camels to take us back so we sat waiting in the pitch black. Then we had a camel ride in the dark which was very uncomfortable since we couldnt tell what direction the camels were going in. When we got back dinner as still not ready. We ate at around 10:30 and after that the party started, but we were waking up at 5am and were exhausted so we had to sleep. The tents were not very nice and our lightbulb had burnt out. The next day we saw the sunrise which was beautiful, and then spent the entire day in the car. Our driver was pretty reckless and would speed around other cars on small windy roads on the mountains. There was also no AC in the car. The trip did not fulfill the itinerary listed on viator. Overall I would not recommend this trip.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Merzouga sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does Merzouga sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days cost?
+
Prices start at €100 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 sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days 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 sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Merzouga sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days?
+
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 Merzouga sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days 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 sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days?
+
Around 1 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 sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days 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 sahara desert Adventure,Dunes,Sunset,camel ride 3 Days?
