The desert is a full and empty space, at the same time hostile and fertile, warm and cold, calm and stormy. I loved it, I was adopted by it, I tried to conquer it but to no avail. Many times I wanted to run away but it always kept me. May I invite you to share my passion of the desert and my love for it in an amazing tour to the Moroccan Sahara desert? Admire the dunes, listen to the silence, feel it, feel its energy. You have the desert for yourself in the best possible conditions. Embark on an unforgettable journey. My suggested Morocco Sahara desert tours bear the fruits of my knowledge of the desert. Take a break and live the nomad’s life and the ancient trading caravans with the last children of the desert taking good care of you!”
Trip from Marrakech to Fes with Ibrahim – awesome!
We had an amazing time in our trip. Our driver, Ibrahim, spoke perfect English and was very informative and funny. He picked us up, and stop along the way to allow us to take pictures.
Marrakech desert trip is a serious company, and the price was more than reasonable for a 3 day trips with accommodation, food, and the camel trip.
Definitely a must to do if in Morocco!!
Overall this is a great experience and I would totally recommend this company for a desert trip.
Our driver Ibrahim was not only a fantastic driver but he also had a great sense of humour. The camel trek was a wonderful experience and the camps are a fun. We left a pair of sunglasses on the bus and Ibrahim kindly left them somewhere so that another driver could collect and return to us.
Thank you again Ibrahim!!!
A big thank you to our driver Youssef for taking such great care of us (a group of 13 people) for this 2 day trip from Marrakech to the Zagora and back! The drive to the desert was long and winding, so kudos to Youssef for his driving skills! The condition of the camp in Zagora was clean and comfortable. The guides there were also very nice to bring us up the sand dunes to see the sunset and sunrise. Overall, we had a truly amazing and unforgettable experience and will definitely join their other tours if we have the chance to in the future
Show moreWe had a great time overall in our tour. It was the highlight of pur trip in Morocco. Rancid was our driver, he was very kind and made sure we were happy during our tour. The camel ride and our time in the sand dunes was great. Only thing I would say was it would be good if we were given more information on what each day would entail. The types of stops etc. Overall we would recccomend this tour.
Show moreWe requested a van for 6 of us, for a 3 days trip from Fez to Marrakech via the Sahara desert.
The food provided was tasty and good quality. The camel ride was phenomenal though the tent we slept in lack sound proof. We had Jalil as our driver/guide and I cannot emphasize more on how amazing this guy is. Unlike a lot of tour guides or drivers we came across in Europe and Asia, He is warm-hearted, humorous, enthusiastic and just extraordinary. He let us play our favorite music in the van, he detoured sometimes to show us some of the best views of Moroccan cities, even if it means his working time will be longer, he explains the history and meaning of places, words and traditions in such details, making this trip so interesting. We might not go back to Morocco for the food or view but for Jalil? Yes we will.
Me and my girlfriend did the 2 days trip Marrakesh to Zagora and overall we were very satisfied.
Below my comments:
1. Our driver, Mumu was simply amazing! He was very kind, smiling and hospitable! He assisted us in every of our needs and he also speaks very good English!
2. Very long drive but with nice company and some music, time passes by, after all the scenery along the way is amazing!
3. Our camp (Luxury option) was nice and clean (as far as a camp in the desert can be). Polite people, good service and food. Our bathroom had a few issues but I believe it was a single incident.
4. The communication with the site has to be mentioned! The manager is always there and ready to respond to any of your queries (What’s app).
5. Slightly expensive, we paid 500€ for two persons but it worth it. The tour was private, meaning that we had our own car and driver and we could adjust the trip however we wanted and chose the luxury camp option with the en-suite bathroom.
All in all I believe this was a fantastic experience and totally recommend it
We went on the 3 day Sahara Tour as family of 4 in April. The tour was the best part of our holiday to Morocco. The tour manager had great communication and always responded to all my queries before and during the trip. He made the trip run as smoothly as possible. The driver Reda was great too, spoke English and great company with good knowledge of the route. He stopped many times on the way to take photos and see some stunning views of the Atlas Mountains.
The first night we stopped at the Panoramic guesthouse which was a pleasant surprise, clean and comfortable with great views. The dinner and breakfast was included and was fine. The next day we left at 9am for journey to Merzouga camp stopping again for many photos. The next part was the camel ride to the camp, about an hour and half was amazing, we loved it and they stopped in the dunes for sunset which was beautiful.
When we arrived at the camp there was some issues with us being taken to the normal camp by mistake when we paid extra to be upgraded for the Luxury camp. After a bit of a messy arrival and confusion they drove us to the 'luxury' camp. Our tent had 4 single beds to our disappointment nothing really luxury inside. The worst part was they had no cold water and when asked they gave us water that was warm. It's surprising they were not prepared for this simple request and then the manager started rowing with us over our meal that water is not included but charged extra. Not once did we say we won't pay extra but assumed that for the upgrade to
luxury we would have some chilled water available. After contact with the tour manager he sorted it out, we got our beds fixed to 1 double and 2 single and cold water to drink! If you go for the upgrade, I think the Oasis camp is much better, they had no availability when we went so this was all that was left. The next morning, breakfast was a good selection and staff were good to us.
Overall the tour is really well worth it, you get to see Morocco and the journey was fine. We really enjoyed it despite the few problems at the camp.
Show moreLoved hanging with Reda over three days! You can see why in the following pictures. The 600
euros was worth the experience with the accommodations for 2 nights along with the experiences
over 3 days and the 20 hours of driving.
We are family from Poland (2+3, and youngest boy 6y) staying a couple of days in Marrakesh for the first time, and we curious about Atlas traditional people life. Since there are many companies you can find online offering similar trips, and with similar program – it's not too easy to asses the real value just from description, it's always a bit of roulette.
So when I found "Marrakech Desert Trips" website and it looked interesting, I've just sent a quick
question via WhatsApp, and to my surprise – response was quick, friendly, knowledgeable, and we received a nice offer for the family, lower price than on their website. So we took the chance.
When the day came, the driver was actually already waiting at agreed place and time (believe me, not a standard in Morocco). The Toyota Land Cruiser was in a good shape, and we were very lucky that our driver Mohamed was actually born in Atlas mountains, so he was able to answer all questions about culture, people, and many aspects of Berber people life.
Mohamed took us to very traditional Berber places, we had a lunch next to house of his family, and because of 4×4 – he was able to show us a few beautiful places not reachable for regular tourists with smaller children. He even helped to get a good price for a traditional carpet in a local Berber shop in Imlil, which made my wife very happy 🙂 Really nice and friendly person.
Overall – very good trip, and if you decide to go to Atlas mountains with this company – be sure to ask for Mohamed Ouahane, you will not regret it – great experience!
