Fantastic
I can not praise this company highly enough. I booked transfers from the airport with them and the trip to the Sahara. Communication was superb, good English and even sent WhatsApp messages during the trip to make sure everything was ok. As for the trip again superb food was great tents were clean everyone was friendly. Highly recommended

Tour and Camping in Zagora
The experience with the tour was bittersweet. Our guide Adnan was great with us, at all times he was attentive, explained some things and resolved some doubts. He always asked us to rest, make stops and try to make us feel comfortable. The problem was with the camel ride. We arrived and waited for a long time, when they prepared the camels, one of them was practically a baby and already left scared when we got on. They walked us through a pickle full of stones, no desert. One of the boys got off because he found the camel very uncomfortable and soon they started going crazy and biting each other. One of us fell to the ground and had several bruises on her back and several injuries, she couldn’t breathe and we asked to be taken down. We asked her for a car and they said no, we should only walk 20 minutes (she being in the pain of the fall). We spent over an hour walking in the DARK desert until we reached the camp. Luckily when we got there the people were very nice and they welcomed us quickly, also thanks to our guide Adnan who came to the camp to talk to them about what happened. Dinner and some time later fine but the water in the showers was closed and they told us they would open it but they didn't, not the next morning. Breakfast was insufficient and also, at one point in the night, before going to sleep, our colleagues could not buy water because they were denied it. The truth is that we would not repeat the tour, at least with the camel, lucky that the camp boys were very friendly and it was nice to meet them. Adnan and the Enterprise provided us with a 4x4 to get back in the morning as we flatly refused to get back in anything other than a car or similar. They tried to convince us that the situation was not so bad but, sorry we were already disappointed. Thanks to our guide we have been able to get to know the culture more, we have felt part of the adventure and he has cared a lot about us and his gestures were very kind.

The beauty of southern Morocco
A super cool excursion, I particularly liked the camel and the night in the desert. Our driver was friendly and often stopped for us to take pictures or visit kasbahs (ancient adobe cities), so the ride seemed quite short. The nomads of the camp spoke fluent French and were able to tell us about their lifestyle and answer our questions. In the evening we were treated to traditional music around a fire under clouds of stars, it was magical. In short I recommend this trip worth it.

Zagora & Kasbahs 2 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does Zagora & Kasbahs 2 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech cost?
+
Prices start at $98 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 Zagora & Kasbahs 2 Day Desert Tour 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 Zagora & Kasbahs 2 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech 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 16 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 Zagora & Kasbahs 2 Day Desert Tour 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 Zagora & Kasbahs 2 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zagora & Kasbahs 2 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech?
+
Around 6 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 Zagora & Kasbahs 2 Day Desert Tour 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 Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, 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.
