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

August 11, 2021 Tambra Mccollister

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.

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!

A trip to the desert in Morocco is not complete without a camel trek in the dunes. For those who are fascinated by the caravans which crossed the African deserts between mythical cities transporting wanted products like salt, this is the opportunity to feel like a nomad for a few moments.

The entire Tour exceeded my expectations. Azis was a great and patient driver. This tour was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip, We were picked up at our agreed location. We toured Aiit Ben Haddou with an awesome guide by the name of Mohan (spelling). We had plenty of time for pictures once we arrived. we had a delicious lunch on a rooftop with beautiful views. we then headed out to our overnight stay and the rooms were already set up for us. The food was AMAZING. We had a great night stay with beautiful views. The following day was the highlight of our trip. We rode on camels to our camp where the locals where preparing dinner for us and we had a bonfire before going to bed. We also purchased the turbans at the Berber family's store which was great to have during our camel ride. I was able to sandboard and rent quads for my daughter and I . The bathrooms are clean. Don't forget to tip the locals :) . This was the best experience ever!!! Bring snacks, water and toilet paper for the road trip. There is also stores and cute cafes on the way, which is a perfect time to get out and stretch your legs. I didn't think i would be able to be out on such a long tour but, this company made EVERYTHING worth while.

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.

Worst service and agency EVER !! I booked a one day trip to Essaouira with this agency 14 days ago, they confirmed with me the availability, I gave them all the information needed and confirmed the pick up location. I contacted them 2 days and 1 day before the trip to re-confim and they confirmed I also asked about another contact number I can call in case they don’t show up and never got the number, I was totally right because they never showed up !!! How unprofessional and disrespectful is this ?? no one showing up, no one answering my calls nor my messages ?? Worst thing is that they were online, read the messages I sent right in the moment in WhatsApp and didn’t have enough respect to say anything. I just don’t understand why would you confirm and re-confirm an activity and just never show up nor give an explanation?? Really shame on you !! I was planning for this trip for so long and being treated this way was definitely the worst service ever. So if you want to save your time and holidays plans never book anything with the agency!!
