Trip Moments Recommendations
The best time to travel to Merzouga is from September to April. This time of the year the temperatures are more bearable although at night it can get chilly. In addition to soaring temperatures, there are often sand storms in the summer. These storms last from late spring to early fall, so we would not recommend going then.
Cost of a desert safari
A trip to the Merzouga desert can often become quite expensive if you don't do your research. We had a semi-private tour with excellent quality for $150per person, including two nights of camping in the desert, all the meals, two local guides, and camel trekking. So the prices can really be different from company to company and you shouldn’t rush to make a decision. You should weigh their options after some research. What we liked about our trip in the Merzouga desert
The thing we liked most:
Learning about the nomadic traditions from our guides who used to be nomads themselves
Our trip had a great value for money. We were really satisfied with the price of the trip. Our guides were amazing, the camps were comfortable with actual mattresses, and the food was delicious.
Camels were well-treated, settled and calm which is very important for us because a lot of the time camels used for tourists are treated badly and malnourished.
Another thing to remember is that Merzouga is the most famous desert destination in Morocco so can get crowded during the high season. This also leads to a lot of noise from the quads and dune buggies, especially during sunset. We didn't have that issue as much as we visited at the end of November. But it's definitely something to consider.
