For me, it was a 5 star experience. Our driver Houssein was very nice, we visited other atractions, not just the desert, and the Merzouga experience is not something you should miss! But here are some aspects: you definitely should have a hoodie or a jacket as it can be cold in the morning when you leave, and definitely buy a scarf and sunglasses. Also the tent in the camp was very nice, it had private bathroom. Definitely recommend, Merzouga desert is one of a kind.

Enjoyed it thoughly. Accommodations provided were very good. Food stops were also fine. Paid 120 dirhams per meal for lunch. Charged 10€ extra per head for sandboarding and visiting nomad village in Sahara but it's still a good deal for the price paid.
