If you are in your 20’s go on this trip

10/10 experience! Note: you are spending 50% of your time in a van (like 20 hours) so if you get car sick easily this is probably not the trip for you. But bring a group of friends and just have a good time all together. Standard camping was nice. Our tour guide was responsible and silly which made for a fun experience. Lastly bring cash!! ATV’s are an extra 400 or 500 and you have to pay for lunches for all 3 days. Anywhere between 1000-1200 MAD is probably enough.

Very good with family or friends

Very nice guides. The Merzouga dunes are magnificent. Stops on the route are well chosen, but for the price, do not expect to eat in super restaurants.

Great activity to get out of Marrakech!

Travel light for your night in the desert and plan to have cash to pay for the guides and lunch.
