Highlights
  • Marrakech Camel Trips - Day 1: MARRAKECH – Tizi N’ Tichka – Ouarzazate.
    Our professional driver from the Marrakech to Fez tour agency will pick you up at 7 a.m. You are about to embark on one of the most delightful tourist experiences you may ever have. The imperial, vibrant, and poetic city of Marrakech will be our first stop.

Ait Ben Haddou village and Kasbah on the outskirts of Ouarzazate city offer a stunning view of the vast landscape and the Tizi N’ Tichka pass, a unique road twist and the only connection between Marrakech and Ouarzazate. We will reach the historic village of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987. This beautiful Kasbah, with its scenic views and stunning landscapes, attracts tourists from all over the world who come to enjoy and discover the splendor of ancient Moroccan architecture. A short ride will take us to Ouarzazate city, where you will spend the night in one of the city’s hotels or Riads.

  • Ouarzazate - Day 2: Ouarzazate – Dades Valley – Todgha Gorges – Merzouga.
    You will wake up early to make the most of the day’s journey. After your shower and breakfast, we will visit the Ouarzazate Cinema Museum, where you can take beautiful commemorative photos at the world-famous filming sites, with a variety of costumes. We will then take a long ride to Merzouga, enjoying beautiful places along the way.

Many tour operators offer camel ride trips to various locations, lasting from several hours to several days. Merzouga is the most authentic destination for exploring the desert nature of sandy dunes with sharp edges and distinctive desert wildlife. Most of these trips include a visit to a traditional Bedouin camp. Thrill-seekers can book quad bike tours, surfing, and sand skiing. At sunset, you will have a great opportunity to witness the breathtaking sunset of the Sahara. The second night of your trip, spent in Merzouga, will be exceptional.

  • Merzouga - Day 3: Merzouga – Volubilis – Fes.
    You will need to wake up early to see the sunrise over the Sahara dunes, where the sun appears between the huge dunes before it starts to heat up. After breakfast, you will have some time to choose any activity you like, such as camel riding. Our Sahara desert tour driver will then drive you through the Tafilalt road, passing by Errisani. During the approximately 200 km ride, you will enjoy some beautiful natural landscapes. We will make some time to see something in Fez city, arriving by the afternoon. Our driver will take you to some of the most visited monuments before driving you to your final destination: hotel, Riad, or the airport.

Amazing 7 day Trip with Ali / Camel Trips - It was easy to book the trip - with communication before the trip. We were so glad we went with Camel Trips. We were picked up in Marrakech and taken to the luxury camp- which was amazing. The camel ride to the camp, the sunset, the Berber music at campfire, the stars at night, sunrise and sandboarding in am, and atv ride back to merzouga were some of the highlights. We also hired Camel trips for transportation for rest of trip, including Fez, Chefchaoun, Rabat, and then to Casablanca for our flight home. Ali, our driver, was amazing during the 7 days we traveled together. Highly recommend.

An unforgettable experience! Special companion, or rather unique! Welcoming staff attentive to our every need - A wonderful experience! Our guide Mohamed made our trip fun, comfortable and full of emotions! He took care of us in every aspect, giving us the right information, welcoming our requests and sometimes even anticipating them. Excellent safe and prudent driving. A special person who will remain in our hearts! All the staff were helpful and welcoming, they also made my 40 years in the desert unforgettable, with gifts, joy and surprises! Excellent means of transport and quality of accommodation. Lots of heart and authenticity from the whole team! Highly recommended!

Great 3 days tour from Marrakesh to Fes - We booked a private three days tour from Marrakesh to Fes. It was a very pleasant journey with our driver Hussain. Hussain did a brilliant job. He picked us up from our riad in Marrakesh and showed us the best spots on the way. He helped us bargaining in local shops and made it a truly unique experience with his calm and discreet service. We felt very safe and would recommend asking for him when you book a trip. On the way for sure the stop in the Sahara was the highlight. We took the camels to the camp and rode on quads back to the town where Hussain already waited for us the next day. Thank you Hussain for these three unforgettable days.

Three days among mountains, oasis and the desert - We had a fantastic 3-day-tour with Marrakesh camel trip. We booked this tour from home and the morning of our pick up Mohamed, our driver, was there. Mohamed is a great person and a safe driver, he showed us the best part of Morocco and we visited everything we planned. We will remember forever the night in the desert and the camel "massage"! Recommended to everyone who wants to live the Moroccan culture.

Ali Bouyakbane Best Guide Driver in Marocco - The trip was fantastic. We visit all the places of the tour, plus some spot we decide to visit during the journey. Ali is a fantastic guide, he is educated, funny and share a lot of culture information about places and history of Marocco. The journey in Sahara was amazing. Beautiful camel ride, beautiful tent camp, delicious dinner and fantastic people. Absolutely suggested!!!

Amazing 3-day trip Marrakech to Fes - My girlfriend and I did the 3-day tour from Marrakech to Fes with Ali Boyakbane and it was a fantastic experience. Ali is an excellent driver and this was particularly important for my gf who is often car sick. Ali is very keen to explain you the surroundings and gives you freedom and ideas to adapt your trip as you like. The tour is very well organised with a multitude of fantastic activities to both relax and enjoy your holidays and understand the culture of this beautiful and fascinating country. The tour in the desert is a unique experience which I recommend everyone doing at least once in a lifetime. Accommodation and dinner for the two nights were well above the expectations: everything was super clean, the staff very kind and welcoming, the meal in the desert of superb quality. PS: My girlfriend turned 30 while in the desert and we casually mentioned it to Ali the first day. The staff at the desert tent surprised her with a best wish message on our bed sheets and a birthday cake!!! We were both astonished by such heartwarming hospitality and generosity. If you pick this tour, you surely won’t be disappointed. All the best wishes to Ali and the whole staff!

Perfect! - Everything was top notch! We had the BEST guide named Lhoucine. He was so on the ball and made sure we had the most special experience. Far more than what was listed in the itinerary…even a surprise picnic on our final day. We loved the luxury safari camp at the end of our camel ride. The food was great and our family can’t say enough good things. We did three days, I wish we had more time and would recommend a longer, slower Itinerary if you can. Request Lhoucine as your guide! You will have a great time!

Pretty great tour ever! - I would rate 10 stars for this tour if I can! We spent 3 wonderful day from Marrakech to Fes. The staff here is really warm and helpful. Our driver and guider are both named Ali. They shared us a lot of interesting stories and traditions during the road trip and took care of both of us. The food was very delicious and fancy. We had a pretty romantic dinner under the Milky Way in desert. I would definitely recommend this tour!
