Merzouga for couples: shared tour or private tent?
Updated October 15, 2026 · 5 min read
For most couples, choose the three-day Merzouga and Sahara Desert tour: €116.16, rated 4.9 out of 5 from 24,157 reviews, with kasbahs, nomadic life and camel rides at sunset and sunrise. If a room for two is the priority, the luxury Merzouga tour with a private tent included says so in its title and starts at €58.36. A private tent does not make the vehicle, meals or camp private.

What is actually private?
The two cheaper listings promise a private tent, not a fully private trip. The €67.25 summary names the High Atlas, Ait Ben Haddou and a sunset camel ride. The €91.70 option also names meals and a Berber camp at Erg Chebbi. Neither short description guarantees a private bathroom, separate table or couple-only transfer. Ask about each item separately.
The €117.11 tour costs €49.86 more than the cheapest option. Its visible advantage is not privacy but a more explicit itinerary and far more reviews. For a romantic occasion, the premium makes sense only if both camel rides and the described cultural stops matter to you.
What the listings leave open
None of the three short descriptions says whether you can decide every stop or dine alone, and a private tent does not answer that either.
Our first-time choice remains the €116.16 tour for its clear scope and 24,157 reviews. For a lower price and an explicitly private tent, select the €67.25 trip only after receiving written confirmation of bathroom arrangements and transport format.
