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.

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.

Satisfied desert tours - I joined to go see the stars in the desert! I waited for the moon to fall and walked out to see a beautiful starry sky! The trip was not only desert, but also cultural experience and scenic views, which was very fulfilling! The guides tried their best to entertain us and I was very impressed!

Morocco 3 Days trip from Marrakech - It was an amazing experience for me. I met people from America, United kingdom, Poland, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Morocco, Japan, Italy and India. And all of these are now connected via facebook, instagram or watsapp. In dessert we witnessed rain, rainbow, hot sun and cold nights. It was so fun that we had a wrestling match in our tent in dessert as we were sharing the tent together. We did night sand boarding (yes) after 1-2 meter you see nothing ahead of you but the chilled wind passing through your face gives you thrill. We played cards in night when all people were sleeping in there tents we were in dining hall playing without a care in the world. Ali was our tour guide. He knows how to connect people. I was travelling solo but ended up having diverse group members. I am not gone a forget this trip in my life for sure. If denis from Germany is reading this (Brother, i still believe you. No matter what.!! :-). No hot water to bath in morning. (dessert) it was luke warm. Take your powerbank with you. Some favourite snacks.

Book with Mustapha and Moha - Once in a lifetime experience to Merzouga with our guide Mustapha Otalb and our driver Moha! From end to end everything felt easy, safe and most of all fun! Having a guide and a professional driver made the journey through the Atlas Mountains and Ait Ben Haddou a dream. The desert was unforgettable! Riding camels into the dunes at sunset and spending the night under the stars was just magical. Everything was smooth, well organized, and full of great energy! And the chaos of multiple tours, we never felt out of place

Unforgettable!!! - Said, Moussa, and Hassan were our habibis in shining armor, valiantly leading our group throughout so many memorable places in Morocco. They invited joy, excitement, and comfort into every aspect of our trip! There was an equal amount of downtime, adventure, and exploration to enjoy all that Morocco has to offer. We laughed, sang, and danced thanks to our wonderful guides.

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.

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.
