Best Sahara trip!! - Just got back from the most epic three days for the new eve in the Sahara with Desert Morocco Adventure!! Picture this: cozy Berber-style tents right in dunes. Luxury meets the great outdoors. I'm talking about waking up to the sunrise over Merzouga dunes and dozing off under a blanket of stars. It's like camping, but with a touch of glam. The camel trek was a highlight! Riding these chill desert ships through the dunes during sunset was magical! And speaking of taste, the food was on point. Tagines, couscous, they fed us like royalty. Soo if you're even thinking about a Sahara adventure, hit up Desert Morocco Adventure. The guy doesn't just show you the desert, they make you feel it. It's like a wild ride with friends who know how to turn a trip into a story 🐪✨

Lifetime experience - My brother and I went for a three day trip from Marrakech to Merzouga (Sahara desert). Zouhair, the guide, was very welcoming and made sure we did everything on our time. Besides the beautiful highlights of Morocco, Zouhair brought us to many hidden gems, which we never would have seen without the tour. The car was very comfortable and clean and the restaurants & hotels we stopped were amazing! We had a life time experience in just 3 days. Thank you Zouhair!

11 Amazing Days in Morocco - Moha was an amazing guide and super accommodating. He made us feel right at home as he took us through and taught us more about the Moroccan culture. He’s also really fun to hang out with and ensured that we all felt at home. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking to tour Morroco soon. Thank you once again Moha 🙏

Must-do 4 day 3 night desert tour! - We took the 4 day 3 night tour starting in Fes and ending in Marrakech, and it was by far the highlight of our trip to Morocco. Absolute must do. Moha (Icho) was the most amazing guide. He is a sweet and caring person with friends in every pocket of the country. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his country, and truly wants to help make the most of the experience for his guests. Not to mention, he is an A+ photographer, so you are guaranteed to come out with some Instagram worthy photos alongside the life long memories after this tour. The accommodations themselves are absolutely breathtaking - we stayed 1 night in a desert camp, 1 night in a lovely riad with a pool on the edge of the dunes, and 1 night in a scenic hotel with a panoramic view in the Atlas Mountains. At each place we had everything we needed, were helped by the most amazing staffs, and truly could immerse ourselves in the beauty that is Morocco. We had amazing times in Fes and Marrakech, but what truly made Morocco the best vacation ever was going on this Sahara desert tour with Moha. If anyone is on the fence because of logistics or driving time, I’d highly recommend to take the leap and just book it. Thank you Moha for the truly once in a lifetime experience!

Spectacular personalised tour, and amazing guide! Best ever! Can’t wait to go back! - I’ve always dreamt of seeing Morocco and the Sahara Desert. And Icho made this extra special and spectacular! Our tour was actually tailored on what my friend and I wanted, and Icho made the perfect adjustments! He Had given us best accommodations and a very safe and enjoyable travel to and from the Desert. His driving skills are superb and there’s no dull moments with him. All of the experiences I’ve had in this trip in the desert would be kept very special. And for sure I will be back. Next time, 3 nights in the Sahara too. Cause really you can’t get enough of it. It’s one of the most amazing places and experiences I’ve had in my life. And this is coming from someone who’s travelled more than 30 countries too. One more thing, Icho has given us amazing service! And really went beyond what we signed up for. He is amazing! And this tour is amazing!

Best Moroccan Experience - This has been an amazing trip. From the time I was picked up at the airport to the time I was dropped back to the airport to leave Morocco. Younes was the best driver and tour guide. He always made sure I was comfortable and happy. He took me on the best journey through Morocco and was very knowledgeable. I recommend Younes as the driver for your time in Morocco. I wish I had more time to see more places.

Amazing trip of a lifetime!! Thank you Youssef and Younes!! - Wow!! What an amazing time! I really want to thank Youssef for planning this thoughtful, creative, and immersing once-in-lifetime experience and my driver, Younes for his incredible patience, professionalism, passion and knowledge. I did the 3-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga and my goodness, the tagine I ate at the Berber village of Telouet we stopped in was the best I’ve ever had! The Sahara desert was certainly the highlight of my trip. Afterwards, we drove to Chefchaouen and we stopped to feed monkeys in the forest which I didn’t expect to see at all, but it all makes the trip much more exciting and enjoyable! This was a trip of a lifetime. Thank you to my driver, Younes for taking me to all of these places, great conversation and showing me the pride of Morocco and the stunning sites and views. This was a memorable experience that I will always cherish. I can’t wait to come back with my boyfriend so he can experience the true heart and soul of Morocco like I did!

. - we went for the 3 day tour from marrakech to fes via the erg chebi desert. We went brought on a private tour by our wonderful tour guide, Yunes. He was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The night in the desert camp was out of this world and would highly recommend that you opt for the luxury option. Overall an amazing experience

3 days desert trip - We did the 3 days desert trip with Icho, and he’s the absolute best! Not only did he take us through the cities, but got to explain everything about the culture and make us feel included and enthusiastic. We enjoyed it so much we asked him to be our guide to a day trip in Essaouira. If you go to Morocco, don’t question twice. Icho is the guide!

Great fun! - Loved every second of the trip! Our guide was Icho and we truly could not have had a better guide. He was super flexible, accommodated all our requests (for example, we preferred not ridding any camels), his explanations were excellent and made us feel super comfortable and well taken care of. On top of that, we stayed at beautiful hotels - our favorite was the one in Erg Chebbi, where we spend hours outside admiring the night sky. 1 0/10 would recommend.
