This well-organized, spectacular 3-day journey from Marrakesh to Merzouga was unforgettable! Lahcen was wonderful as our guide for myself and my two children, ages 17 and 21. He was incredibly informative and professional, making the entire trip enjoyable. Although there’s quite a bit of driving required to see everything in such a short timeframe, it was absolutely worth it. We felt safe throughout, thanks to Lahcen’s skilled driving. The dunes and camel riding were the standout highlights of our trip. We can’t wait to return and explore more of Morocco—hopefully soon!
What a fantastic way to explore a vast area of Morocco with a private driver/guide. Hassan, our guide, was outstanding. He spoke quite good English and was very accommodating to our eclectic requests. «Can we stop and go in that marketplace? Of course!» «Can we visit that nomad family on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere? Of course!» The journey through the Atlas Mountains was both stunning and fascinating, offering views of Berber villages and ancient Kasbahs. A major highlight was the camel ride (around an hour with stops) to our Tent Camp in the desert. At night, the stars were incredible to behold while lying on a dune. Our tent was quite comfortable, complete with an in-tent shower and toilet. The food was tasty as well. The only drawback was that the tent became very warm at night, lacking any airflow or fan. In hindsight, we regret not upgrading to the luxury air-conditioned tent, which would have made our stay even more comfortable. There were many beautiful stops throughout the trip. The drive back on the last day was long (9 hours), but overall, I highly recommend this experience.
We opted for a private tour for our group of 4, and we had a great time. The long hours in the car were made much more comfortable by having the minivan exclusively for us. Our driver, Abdel, was not only cautious on the road but also exceptionally kind to us (thank you, Adbel!). The tour itself was quite enjoyable, with the desert arrival being a highlight. The camp accommodation was also excellent. Despite a misunderstanding, Marrakech Desert Trips handled it remarkably well. Their assistance is top-notch, so you can trust them without any concerns.
