Home › Travel Guide › Merzouga Desert Tour Cost
In 2026, a private desert tour from Marrakech or Fes to Merzouga starts from about €450 per person (3 days, dropping as your group grows), while a shared group tour is from €180 per person on the Marrakech routes. A standalone overnight camel trek and luxury camp is from about €100 per person. Below are the real numbers and exactly what they include.
Private vs shared: what do they cost?
| Option | From (per person) | Group | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shared group tour | €180 | Max 17 | Marrakech↔Merzouga & Marrakech→Fes only, daily departures |
| Private 3-day tour | €450 | Your own | Your vehicle, guide and pace; price drops with more people |
| Overnight camel trek + camp | €100 | — | From Merzouga, half-board |
| 4x4 / quad half-day | €50 | — | Add-on activities |
What's included in the price?
Our tour prices include a private (or shared) air-conditioned vehicle with fuel and a driver-guide, accommodation on the road, one night in our luxury camp with a sunset camel trek, and half board at the camp. Lunches, drinks, monument entry fees and tips are usually extra — we always quote all-in so there are no surprises.
Why do prices vary so much between companies?
Cheap headline prices (€95 and under) are usually shared minibuses with basic camps and hidden extras. Because we own the hotel, the camp and the camels and book you directly, there's no middleman markup — you pay for a real luxury camp and a licensed local team, not a reseller's margin.
How can I save money?
Travel in a bigger group (private per-person price drops sharply), pick a shared departure on the Marrakech routes, come in the quieter summer or mid-winter, and book direct rather than through an OTA that adds commission. See our full Morocco desert tours guide for routes and durations.
