Great tour - fun

Great tour! Lots of impressions, lots of sights and a great camp in the desert! The journey with many breaks and visits is varied! The camel riding is fun! The accommodation in the camp and the food are top! We had a very cozy evening with the team and all the other guests.

Zagora 2 days

We booked the 2 day private trip to Zagora through Clickexcursions. We had a really fantastic guide, Tariq. His english is fluent, without mistakes and very understandable. The car was in impeccable condition, clean and very comfortable. Tariq did his utmost to make the trip a wonderful and unforgetable experience. He showed us beautiful spots to take pictures and stopped where ever we wanted to take even more pictures. He was open and easy to talk to, he told us a lot about Moroccan culture, traditions, and daily life which we found so interesting. The excursion was truly spectacular and one of the highlights of our trip. The landscapes were breathtaking and so divers, from snow on the mountains, where it was chilly and misty, to barren red-coloured mountains, green oasis filled with palm trees and green hills to the desert, where it was warm and sunny. We saw small berber villages, rivers, waterfalls, we rode a camel, we saw a beautiful sunset and got up early to enjoy the sunrise. We enjoyed a nice dinner and then traditional music and dance around the fire and we slept in a traditional berber tent. Seeing the sky filled with stars was magical and something we will never forget. A truly excellent unique adventure this two-day desert trip is absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommended!

A wonderful journey with an excellent guide.

We combined an overnight desert safari in Zagora with a 2 day highlights tour from Marrakech. Our tour guide Abdelhak Hadek is a wonderful human being. Kind, generous, knowledgeable and so patient with our family of 7. He is also skilled driver navigating the Atlas Mountains in wet and snowy weather. I highly recommend him. Thanks Abdelhak x

Beautiful experience with breathtaking scenery

A beautiful discovery, beautiful landscapes (Aït Ben Hadou, Ouarzazate), 1 perfect dinner and breakfast (thank you Abdallah and Mohamed!), evening by the fire and 1 night in the pleasant desert, in all simplicity. A little rudimentary certainly but this is what makes all the charm, with sunset and sunrise, starry night, not to mention the walk in the small dunes on the back of camels. A little extra for Hamza our driver who was very professional and with whom we had a great time.
