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.
Oliver Reed
We had an incredible three-day adventure exploring the southeastern region of Morocco. This tour goes beyond just the Sahara and the desert camp – we encountered numerous breathtaking places and experiences that will leave lasting memories. Choosing a favorite among them is impossible. Our skilled driver and guide, Hassan, remained composed, friendly, and helpful throughout. He not only ensured our safety while taking us to these impressive locations but also generously shared insights and patiently answered our questions. We highly recommend this tour (we opted for a private one) and Hassan as a driver and guide without any hesitation. In short, it was a flawless experience – we only wish we could’ve extended our stay at the desert camp in the erg-chebbi dunes for another day and night.
Chloe Sullivan
The experience was truly incredible. We made several stops at various places during the journey – villages, gorges, oases – and spent the night in a lovely auberge. Everything was flawless.
Caleb Foster
This tour is an absolute must! The stunning landscapes of the Atlas valleys are beautifully interspersed with historic Kasbahs and Ksars. Our gratitude towards our exceptional driver, Hakim, knows no bounds – he was attentive to our every need and incredibly kind. We’re also grateful to our guide, who introduced us to the Toudgha valley. All of this culminated in the desert experience, a truly fantastic adventure that we highly recommend upgrading to a luxury camp for. This is an experience we’d eagerly repeat!
Emily Hayes
A great road trip through breathtaking landscapes. Our driver, Abdelilah, provided us with plentiful explanations and introduced us to his country’s wonders. It’s advisable to embark on this journey via a private car due to the numerous roads to explore.
