3-Day Merzouga Desert Adventure

We booked our tour to the Sahara with Ando Tours. Our guide was Hicham. The best guide ever! Thanks for making 3 days in Your car feel like a party! Love singing This is Afrika with you all.

Hicham was an excellent driver. Some might be against booking due to the lengthy drives. However, your driver will make that 3 day drive not only tolerable but enjoyable. Ours was fluent in English and was a fun time, always being able to read the room. Wheather it was to turn off the music mid day when the group was tired or to give us the aux so we could blast our own music and sing along. I truly did not feel like a fish out of water in my first time in Morocco because of the kindness of Hicham. The tour itself is very worth it. The stops along the way to the Merzuca are enjoyable full of knowledge or photo opportunities. This is definitely a Instagram friendly trip. Regardless of the drive or stops it will all be worth it when you are in the Merzuca sand dunes. Its the most awe inspiring and peaceful place I have ever been to. I can not recommend this trip enough, and if you can request Hicham! He is such a great time and will fill you in on anything about Morocco you want to know. A added bonus is that we got back to Marrakesh around 2 hours earlier then the tour says you will be arriving.

We recently went on the 3 day Marrakech- Merzouga trip with driver Mohammed. From the off Mohamed was friendly, welcoming and an exceptional driver. The bus itself was great quality for what I was expecting, comfortable, clean and with aircon. There were plenty of sightseeing stops / bathroom breaks during the driving parts. The hotel accommodation was more than sufficient again- for the price I was not expecting much. The room was big, clean, had air on and even a pool outside. The food throughout the trip was very simple but more than fine. The highlight of the trip was of course Zerg Chebi everyone there was super friendly and accommodating, the camel ride felt slightly rushed and pushy but once we were off it was fine and an amazing experience, there was about 3 groups of people there at the same time as us so potentially more than one sandboard would have been a good suggestion as there was a bit of a wait to use it in hot windy conditions. Overall an amazing trip with outstanding value for money.

Driver: Himma was the best driver, nice and helpful Van: the van was new, with air condition, just a little bit narrow The guide: Moustafa is a nice guy, but he only told us something on the first day, I was hoping he would tell us more. Also the guide to the gorges didn't tell us much, but he asked us for a tip. The tour: a lot of hours in the van, so if you have time I suggest you to take at least 4-5 days to do this distance. If you don't have more than 3 days, I totally recommend this tour. Obviously they asked us for tips, and we were taken to places where we could buy things, but we were never forced to buy anything. The only mandatory choices were regarding meals. The desert: The desert tour was fantastic, sandboarding was a blast, and the camels are amazing! The downsides are that the tent where we ate was very hot, and that the camp is close to the edge of the desert.

Amazing experience, and big thanks to Momo for driving us around - he has been very kind and helpful!
