The journey itself is...

The journey itself is very long and for the time spent in the dessert i definitely wouldn’t do it again, However that being said, our guide fatimzahra was so lovely and always made sure we had everything we needed and took good care of us

Morocco 2026

I had a wonderful experience going on this trip with my friends and getting to do all the amazing activities like riding the camel in the desert, atv ride, sandboarding and getting to stay in a beautiful tent where they played music in a fire-pit. My tour guide Imad was a very helpful and friendly guy who was very patient with our group. He taught us about the rich culture and history of the tribes in Morocco which I found very knowledgeable. I really appreciate his effort and time!

3 day Marrakech to merzouga desert tour review!!

Imad was a wonderful guide. He seemed very experienced and was very active. He explained the history and the facts of places very nicely. The tour itself was very fun especially the Sahara desert. The ATV tour was a plus!
