Introduction

These Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Merzouga Activities website and the booking of our tours, activities, and travel services in Morocco. By accessing our website, making a booking, or participating in any of our tours, you agree to be bound by these terms.

Merzouga Activities (S.A.R.L.) A.U. is a licensed Moroccan tour operator registered under R.C: 10665/2014, I.F: 15209346, Patente: 19395617, CNSS: 4260189. Our registered office is located in Merzouga, Drâa-Tafilalet, Morocco.

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. It is your responsibility to review these terms periodically.

Booking & Reservations

All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation. To secure your reservation, we require the following:

  • A completed booking form with accurate personal and travel details.
  • A deposit payment as specified at the time of booking (typically 20–30% of the total tour price).
  • Confirmation from our team via email or WhatsApp once the deposit is received.

Your booking is not considered confirmed until you receive written confirmation from us. Prices quoted are in Euros (€) or Moroccan Dirhams (MAD) and are valid for the dates specified.

Payment Terms

We accept the following payment methods:

  • Bank transfer — direct deposit to our Moroccan business account.
  • Credit/Debit card — secure online payment via our PCI-compliant payment gateway.
  • PayPal — available for international bookings.
  • Cash on arrival — the remaining balance can be paid in cash (Euros or Dirhams) at the start of your tour.

The remaining balance must be paid before or at the beginning of the tour, unless otherwise agreed in writing. All transaction fees are the responsibility of the payer unless stated otherwise.

Cancellation & Refund Policy

We understand that travel plans can change. Our cancellation policy is designed to be fair to both our guests and our local team:

  • More than 30 days before departure: Full refund of your deposit, minus any non-refundable transaction fees.
  • 15 to 30 days before departure: 50% refund of your deposit.
  • 7 to 14 days before departure: 25% refund of your deposit.
  • Less than 7 days before departure: No refund. The full tour amount is due and non-refundable.
  • No-shows: No refund will be issued for failure to arrive at the scheduled departure time without prior notice.

In the rare event that Merzouga Activities must cancel a tour due to circumstances beyond our control (weather, safety concerns, or force majeure), we will offer you the choice of a full refund or rescheduling at no additional cost.

Tour Modifications by the Client

If you wish to modify your booking (dates, number of travelers, itinerary changes), please contact us as soon as possible. We will do our best to accommodate your request, subject to availability and any additional costs incurred.

Requests for modifications made less than 7 days before departure may not be possible and could be treated as a cancellation and new booking.

Travel Insurance

We strongly recommend that all travelers purchase comprehensive travel insurance that covers trip cancellation, medical expenses, personal accident, and baggage loss. Merzouga Activities is not responsible for any costs or losses incurred due to failure to obtain adequate insurance coverage.

Health, Safety & Fitness

By booking a tour with us, you confirm that:

  • You are in good health and physically capable of participating in the activities described in your chosen tour.
  • You have disclosed any medical conditions, allergies, or dietary requirements that may affect your participation.
  • You understand that desert travel involves inherent risks, including but not limited to exposure to heat, uneven terrain, and remote locations.

Our guides reserve the right to exclude any participant from an activity if they believe the participant's health or behavior poses a risk to themselves or others.

Passports, Visas & Travel Documents

It is your sole responsibility to ensure that you possess a valid passport, visa (if required), and any other necessary travel documents for entry into Morocco. Merzouga Activities cannot be held liable for any refusal of entry or delays caused by incomplete or incorrect documentation.

Luggage & Personal Belongings

We recommend traveling light. On camel treks, each participant is typically limited to one small backpack or overnight bag. Large suitcases can usually be left securely at our office or your hotel in Merzouga.

Merzouga Activities is not responsible for loss, theft, or damage to personal belongings during the tour unless caused by our proven negligence.

Behavior & Conduct

We expect all our guests to behave respectfully towards local communities, fellow travelers, and our team. This includes:

  • Respecting local customs, traditions, and dress codes, particularly in rural and religious areas.
  • Following the instructions of your guide or driver at all times.
  • Refraining from behavior that is disruptive, dangerous, or illegal.

We reserve the right to terminate a tour without refund if a participant's behavior is deemed unacceptable or violates Moroccan law.

Force Majeure

Merzouga Activities shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performing our obligations due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: natural disasters, extreme weather, war, terrorism, civil unrest, pandemic, strikes, or government restrictions.

In such events, we will make reasonable efforts to provide alternative arrangements or a partial refund where possible.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Moroccan law, Merzouga Activities shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or in connection with our services.

Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the total amount paid by you for the specific tour or service giving rise to the claim.
