Amazing experience. Highly recommend

Yassine bouhda is a great guide, along with the driver Hassan. Amazing experience, especially the time in the desert. The journey is long, but there are plenty of breaks. Delicious food, lots of information around the local culture, a chance to try on traditional berber dress, and a rare opportunity to experience the Sahara desert at sunset and sunrise. The desert camp is basic, but perfectly adequate, and all the people were lovely.

3 intense and interesting days

We did the tour from Marrakech to Fes through the Merzouga Desert and we were really happy with the whole experience. The landscapes are beautiful and very different from one another: mountains, Berber villages, and amazing desert dunes, with lots of chances to discover the culture and authentic side of Morocco. The tour was very well organized: travel times were well planned, the stops were enjoyable, the lunch places were good, and the hotels were comfortable. The night in the desert camp in Merzouga was a truly special and unforgettable experience. The local guides were also great: knowledgeable, friendly, and fun, and they made the trip even more enjoyable. A special thanks to Musti, whose kindness, positive energy, and professionalism made this tour fun and unforgettable. We definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the real beauty of Morocco.

Sahara tour from Marrakech to Fez

It was easy for participants to get along but you will need to cash in on the buggy, lunch, etc., 2000 is always necessary But the tour was small, the car was good, and the interaction between the different tents was really fun.

Fun trip to Fez

Abdul was a fun guide! The whole trip was very organized and well thought out. We stopped to see how Aragon oil is made, and had two guided tours (Ait Ben Haddou and Toudra Gorge) on our way to the desert. The camel ride and desert night party around the fire were unforgettable! Made some excellent new friends we hope to see again. The rest of the way to Fez was less exciting with only one short stop in Ifrane, but worth it to get to spend a few days in Fez before heading home.
