Unforgettable desert trip with amazing places to see on the way - We went on the 2-day trip and it was fantastic. Despite the longer driving hours, we didn't feel tired because our driver was amazing, was trying to accommodate all our requests what we wanted to see and for how long on the way to the desert and back. The scenery and stops are very beautiful, both the landscapes and the roads. We got an excellent service from our driver. We can absolutely recommend the trip and the company.

A once in a lifetime experience - a MUST do in Morocco! - This is hands down, the jewel of our Moroccan experience. I could not recommend this tour enough for an unforgettable, once in a lifetime experience. A starting shoutout to our guide, Mouad - who exceeded every expectation!
Duration:
- We did a 4 day/3 night tour starting in Fes and ending in Marrakech. I'd recommend doing 3 nights because you get 2 nights in the desert which was the real highlight (under the stars, playing music & dancing by a bonfire) and then one night staying in the Dades Valley.
Top highlights:
- Learning from our guide Mouad and getting to know him opened a door into Moroccan culture (both traditional & modern) and history in a special way. He grew up in a nomad family in the desert and will educate you on both old & new ways of living - from growing up in tents and owning camels & sheep to what city life is like nowadays. Moroccans are so warm with one another - it's a tight knit community and seeing it real time was a real treat. Mouad really personalized the experience to us - when we mentioned wanting to see baby camels, he stopped at a local place and we saw a day old baby camel! He helped us bargain for authentic handmade Berbere rugs and remembered all the little details.
- Driving ATVs in the sand dunes! This is an extra add on and extremely worth it. If you are too afraid to drive like me, a guide will drive for you and it's equally awesome.
- Riding camels at sunset and staying in the desert at night. The glamping is very comfortable (hot showers, firm beds) and they put up hammocks so that you can read, look at the stars at night. You have a late dinner and they play traditional music on drums while you dance around a bonfire. Magical.
Book this experience now! You will absolutely not regret it.

Best Morocco Desert Tour! - We booked the trip with Youssef and he was very responsive with all my questions. We had a great experience with our driver and guide, Mouad. Mouad was always punctual. He was very knowledgeable, cheerful and always checking that we were comfortable during the trip. He also knows all the best photo spots and took great photos of us. The sand dunes in the Sahara Desert were the highlight of the trip. Watching the sun set over the dunes was a beautiful experience. We stayed at the White Camp which had all the comforts of a hotel. More glamping than camping. Our tour was supposed to end in Fes but Mouad kindly agreed to drive us to Chefchaouen and Casablanca. We’d highly recommend Mouad and Sahara Desert Trips.

MUST DO - Highlight of Morocco visit! - 5 star AMAZING trip that exceeded all my expectations. The long ride from Marrakech to the Sahara to Fes was filled with interesting stops that allowed us to experience different facets of all that Morocco has to offer. Riding camels over the dunes, sand boarding, traditional Berber music by the fire, and a night sky filled with stars were truly a dream come true. The icing on the cake was our wonderful guide Brahim. He was so accommodating to our group and offered unique insights and interesting information over the 3 days we spent together. He is clearly proud of his country and culture and is a great representative for Morocco 🇲🇦. Plus, he’s so fun and charming - my whole family enjoyed his company and we’re glad to have a new friend. Highly recommend!

10/10 AMAZING experience thanks to Brahim. Highly recommend! - The trip was an incredible experience from the time Brahim picked us up in Marrakech to dropping us off in Fes and everything in between. He made sure we were comfortable the whole time and explained each of our stops thoroughly. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide for my first time in Morocco and would absolutely recommend him!

5-Star Experience from Marrakech to Fes - What a great experience! This is my 2nd time using Sahara Desert Trips, and Youssef and team outdid themselves this time, during the planning and any additional needs that came up during the trip. They arranged a trip for my family of 9 to travel from Marrakech to Fes through the Atlas Mountains. Such a memorable trip! The accommodations were terrific: comfortable and top-notch service, with delicious dinners included. Our driver Ali carefully got us from place to place comfortably and was an absolute delight. The highight was the Erg Chebbi overnight stay, where we got to sandboard on the dunes and enjoy the desert en route to our camp via camelback. Youssef even met up with us and joined in the camp festivities with some traditional Berber music.
I can't say enough positive things about our guide, Brahim. He was so much fun to spend time with. The best thing about Brahim (besides his knowledge of Morocco and the sights he showed us around) was his demeanor and how we felt like we were visiting a friend who was showing us his home. He was so warm and inviting, and made sure that we were having a great time. He also knew just where to get the best pictures! I highly recommend asking for him!
Thank you to everyone from Sahara Desert Trips who helped my family create memories for a lifetime!

Unforgettable experience with incredible hospitality - In February of 2023, we had a phenomenal 4-day/3-night tour to the Erg Chebbi dunes with Sahara Desert Trips (from Marrakesh to Fes). Our driver Yousuf was incredible - kind, accommodating, safe, and adventurous/fun all at once. The camp was absolutely lovely, visually stunning and so comfortable - a shower in our tent, huge comfortable beds, and many many covers/blankets to keep us warm during the cold nights. Given it was February, it was colder than we expected and all of the staff at the camp did everything they could to make us comfortable - lighting bonfires at night, serving endless warm tea, offering more blankets for the tent. The food was delicious and they played drums/music at night - overall, it was an enchanting trip full of natural beauty and unforgettable experiences and I could not recommend the team and the tours they provide highly enough!

Fantastic service - I initially emailed a few companies but Yusuf was the most responsive and helpful, hence I chose Sahara Desert Tours. His prices for the luxury tour wasn't the cheapest, but I felt assured booking it because he was upfront about what was being offered and what wasn't. We really liked our driver, Hosni, who took care of us during our 3D2N trip from Marrakech, ending in Fes. Thank you for a memorable trip to the Sahara!

Wouldn't go any other way - Such an amazing trip, we travelled with the private tour, and were able to see so much. Our driver was kind, and informative and a perfect way to be able to see more of the country without having to plan out every detail and drive ourselves.

Part of Morroco what you have to visit. - We had amazing experince with mohamed ben haddou. We got enough information, comfort, breaks.
It is a long distance between Marrakesh and the dezert, but there was breaks, little trips, view points. Trip went without any problem.
