What Is Included and What Costs Extra on a Merzouga Tour?

Our Marrakech to Merzouga desert tours include: private air-conditioned transport, a professional local driver, hotel or kasbah accommodation in Dades Valley, desert camp accommodation in Merzouga, the Erg Chebbi camel trek, and breakfasts and dinners during overnight stays. All tours are private — your group has a dedicated vehicle and driver for the full duration.

Lunches and drinks are not included and purchased independently. Budget roughly €10–€20 per person per day. A local monument guide at Ait Ben Haddou is not included — our driver accompanies you to the site, but a dedicated guide costs extra and is available on request.

Optional activities in Merzouga — quad biking, sandboarding, or buggy rides — are not included and are paid locally. A 4x4 transfer to the camp (alternative to camel trek) may also involve a local cost. Let us know your preferences when booking.

The entrance ticket to the Ait Ben Haddou ksar is payable at the site in Moroccan dirhams. Taourirt Kasbah in Ouarzazate may also have a small entrance fee. Carry local currency in small denominations for these payments.

Travel insurance is not included and is strongly recommended. Tips for the driver and camp staff are not mandatory but are customary and appreciated. Personal shopping, souvenirs, and drinks are of course personal expenses.
