Book with a DIFFERENT company!

Waited 2 hours for collection and they NEVER arrived. I'm sure the desert was nice and the camels didn't have the hump too much... but I simply would not know. The travel company (not Viator) couldn't be bothered to reply until 4 hours after I was due to be picked up, Viator tried to contact them and they didn't speak a word or English, so Viator also got no where with them. I relied to their reply (days ago) and guess what, NO REPLY!! HONESTLY! Go with a DIFFERENT company on Viator, it may cost you a fiver more but atleast you may actually get to go on the trip.

Morocco Grand Tour - Just Wow!

Grand Tour of Morocco! Wow! Just returned from a wonderful tour of Morocco with my husband and son. Abdou (our guide) and Aziz (our driver) were just wonderful. They were both very knowledgeable, keen to share their knowledge, very kind and a pleasure to spend time with. Nothing was too much trouble. Starting in Casablanca, we visited some amazing places. Rabat, Meknes and on to Volubilis, which is just breathtaking. Fez was a fascinating place to explore, the amazing souks and the tannery. Great place for leather goods. Merzouga and our camel ride in Sahara Desert to experience sunset and sunrise was incredible. The camp was lush and the drumming was fun! Todra Gorge was probably my favourite place, just loved it. For film buffs Ait Benhaddou is a must, Game of Thrones, Gladiator, Indiana Jones are just a few of the movies filmed at this incredible Kasbah. Finally onto beautiful Marrakech to spend time in the souks and explore Jemaa el-Fnaa. I would visit Morocco and use these guys again without hesitation. Just wonderful.

Memorable trip and a great way to see Morocco 🇲🇦

This was my first agency planned tour ever, and also travelling solo, so wasn’t sure what to expect. The team at Atlas however exceeded expectations and provided excellent value for money. The tour started off with a hike into the Atlas Mountains (to the summit of Mt Toubkal for the really adventurous ones). The guides were experienced and paid attention to every member in the group and accommodated for everyone’s needs. Our accommodation and food was included for the whole trip (5 nights, 4 different locations) - tasty local food for both vegetarians and non vegetarians, comfortable beds, clean and spacious rooms, and clean bathrooms. From the Atlas Mountains, on day3 we set out into the desert in a private mini van. Stopping along the way to see many landmark sites and take pictures - for example, the Ait Ben Hadou, Dades Gorge, Todra Gorge, Tischka Pass, Valley of Roses to name a few places. When we arrived at the desert, the camel rides were included to and from the camp. It was a great experience riding the camels just before sunset and sunrise. We stayed at luxury tents with en-suite, and plenty of warm blankets. We also stopped along the way at some local shops to purchase Berber items such as rugs, clothing, souvenirs etc. Because of the guides we were never harassed or forced to purchase. Overall it was a great tour with a good group of other travellers who all got along well, and enjoyed the six days. Lots of wonderful memories to last a lifetime. I had booked a planned itinerary but the guys are really nice and can be flexible as needed, you just need to communicate what you want to do. This is great way to see the less visited (compared to Marrakesh/ Casablanca) and natural sights of Morocco. It’s also manageable for different budgets. Thanks to Hussein and his team - Mohammed, Abdul, Abdul Rahim, and Ibrahim for showing us around Morocco! I highly recommend using Altas for your visit to Morocco.

Sahara desert trip 2 days from Marrakech: questions travelers ask

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

How much does Sahara desert trip 2 days from Marrakech cost?

+

Prices start at $80 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 Sahara desert trip 2 days from Marrakech take?

+

Plan for about 48 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 Sahara desert trip 2 days from Marrakech worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 4 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 Sahara desert trip 2 days from Marrakech?

+

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 Sahara desert trip 2 days from Marrakech suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 13. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Sahara desert trip 2 days from Marrakech?

+

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 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Sahara desert trip 2 days from Marrakech 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, 3 Days Desert Tour From Marrakech To Merzouga Dunes & Camel Trek, Best Marrakech to Fes Sahara Desert Tour with Camp & Camel Trek. 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.
