Things to do in Merzouga, Meknes-Tafilalet Region: The Best Cultural Tours

March 24, 2022 Timmy Ribble

Bask in glorious sunsets and channel your inner sheik while you ride a meandering camel across the windblown dunes of Erg Chebbi. Merzouga, a small village in southeast Morocco, gives visitors a taste of desert life, and treks to nearby villages will reward you with African revelry, including music and dance. Ask your hotel to arrange a guided tour.

The group Shared 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour is our most popular Morocco desert tour. It departs every day from Marrakech. This desert safari is perfect for those who want to discover the deep Morocco Sahara desert and don’t mind long hours driving. The tour is rich in scenery; you will never be bored as you will be busy admiring one scene after another. The dramatic landscape change is amazing. From the fertile Haouz plains around Marrakech, to the High Atlas Mountains, then to various valleys and oases. At the end, rocky plateaus followed by the breath taking Erg Chebbisand dunes. The highlight of our Marrakech to Merzouga 3-day tour is your sunset camel ride and the overnight sleep under the stars at your Bedouin Sahara desert camp. Next day drive to Marrakech directly

We did a 6 day trip starting in Marrakech and finishing in Casablanca. I definitely recommend booking with Morocco Soul Tours. Communication was great from the start as it took some time to tailor the trip to everything we wanted to do. Youssef was our driver and guide and he was fantastic and had a great knowledge of Morocco. We got to stay a night in the Sahara and had a local guide show us around Fes. We booked our own hotels though as found that it was cheaper that way. The car was clean, safe, and comfortable. Overall, recommend booking with them. It is difficult to hit all of the spots on your own given the size of the country and how far places are from each other. You need a car to get around, and recommend a driver that knows the area.

Wanderlust helped my family and I to plan a multi week tour through Morocco, including stays in Tangier, Fes, Chefchaouen, Marrakech, Essaouira, and others. Ibrahim, our driver and primary guide, helped us get throughout the country and took spectacular care of us like we were his own family, to include my toddler who began waking up every day asking to "Ride in the bus with Mr Ibrahim". Megan proposed a great itinerary, which allowed us to have a relaxing family adventure. Thank you for such a memorable time!

I'm a solo traveller so was hoping the trip was going to be ok and it was! He minibus arrived 5 minutes early, lovely driver, spoke English, we collected other members of the group and left Marrakech at 8.30, stopping at an argon co-operative en route (it was actually really interesting, with delicious samples and NO pressure to buy!) and a cafe for toilets and coffee. We arrived in Essouria about 11.30, the driver told us where to be at 4pm, showed us where he port wa, the medina and the beach and off we all went. It is perfectly safe for a sole female traveller, you only get the usual stall-holders trying to sell you things but they don't hassle you.

We booked a 3 day tour to the Sahara , We are two girls and felt extremely safe the entire time.we have the most incredible stay in morocco due to this tour it was completely over our expectations ! Jamal our tour guide and Omar, our driver were the best! They were both so nice and were so informative explaining all the sights along the way. All the towns we passed through were so beautiful but my favourite part of the whole trip was the desert. We went to Merzouga and the Erg Chebbi Dunes and got to spend a night in tents in the Sahara Desert! We got to ride a camel to the desert camp and that was the funnest experience. All the riads we stayed in and the restaurants were fabulous choices. I highly recommend booking a tour with this company MCL . Jamal was so helpful in planning the whole experience and was always readily available on whats app. We truly cannot wait to go back to Morocco.
