Cultural Gems and Historical Echoes

Tiznit is not just a gateway to the Sahara; it is a cultural gem in its own right. As the sun rises on the second day, the city reveals its historical treasures. The overcast morning gradually transitions to clear skies, offering excellent visibility for sightseeing. The city’s landmarks, from the grand mosque to the bustling medina, are bathed in the soft glow of the morning light.

The Luxury Sahara Tour offers an immersive experience that takes you beyond the city limits. Starting early in the morning, this three-day cultural journey from Fez to Marrakech includes a stop in Tiznit, where you can admire the stunning views of the Atlas Mountains and the lush Ziz Valley. The tour promises a blend of adventure and cultural discovery, with highlights such as camel treks and Berber campfire nights under the starlit desert sky.

“Great experience but disorganized - My husband and I went on this tour. Our driver, Younes Kerroumi, was absolutely amazing! He was friendly, professional and timely. He helped us out with a couple of hiccups at the campsite which even our local tour operator didn’t even bother to lend a hand with. We enjoyed the scenic drive from Fes through the mountains and into the Sahara. We loved the monkeys! :) When we arrived at the desert, we had a comfy ride on the camels. The animals are well looked after which is important to an animal lover. After our photographer tried to sell us some items, we were brought to the campsite where it took at least an hour to figure out who sleeps where. It seemed that they were overbooked. We finally were able to drop our bags and go play in the sand and take pictures before dinner. Listening to the drums and dancing around the campfire was so much fun. The following day, the organizer of the campsite didn’t know we were staying an extra night at a riad nearby in the city of Mergouza. He told us to wait while everyone else were shipped off to their next destination. After an hour waiting around, I finally went to look for someone. I was told to wait 1 more hour. We were finally brought to our riad, Riad Momouche, which was a 20 minute drive away. This riad is a little oasis in the middle of the desert. Food at both locations was fabulous. The people were really friendly and tried to help. With the exception of some miscommunication and disorganization between the local tour operator and the campsite, this tour was great! I would have given it a 5 but because of the time lost due to the issues above, I gave it a 4.” - Reviewed at 2024-05-06
