This was a once in a life time opportunity that we couldn't pass up - the tour was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Many opportunities to stop and take pictures and the lunches and overnight stay were great Of course the best part of the tour was the camel ride to the desert camp - the Sahara desert is breath-taking and the sunsets and sunrises are spectacular. Our tour guide Yacob and driver Hassan were excellent - very accommodating and sharing many jokes along the way I would highly recommend this tour it was well worth it - a bucket list check for sure :)
Our guide abdul was increadible nice, funny and very knowledgable, he told us many details about the country and traditions. Our driver took us safely from one spot to the next one. The sahara experience us absolutely recommandable. Although we had a cloudy sunset snd sunrise- we got an increadible stary night. The people at the camp side welcomed us very warm. Shokran for this beautiful experience!
Wonderful experience! Great guide (Mohammed) and fantastic driver (Hassan). Our guide was very entertaining and caring and his english was very good (he was also able to speak chinese which I found quiet impressive;)). Also the driver was very friendly and he did not drive like hell (big plus!). After our first stay in the Valley of the rose in the fantastic „Kasbah itran“, we went to a canyon and afterwards to the desert near mezouhga. Even if the weather was not optimal (cloudy and rainy), we had lots of fun. Camel ride was amazing. Going back on the last day was also okay. Yeah it’s long but the environment is changing all the time from desert to stone desert to canyons and the greenish Atlas Mountains. Would highly recommend doing it!
Mohamed (Guide) and Yousef (Driver) were fantastic for the full trip. It's a long road trip but if your comfortable with that its a great way to see a lot of Morocco in a few days.
This was an absolutely incredible experience. Khalid was so knowledgeable and helpful. He truly changed the trip for us. The Sahara is beautiful and the Atlas Mountains were surprising in size. Pack extra if you’re headed out during the winter months- it’s quite cold in the dunes.
Highlight of our holiday! The camel rides, and watching the sun fall and rise across the dunes were an incredible experience! Our driver and guide Khalid was amazing! His friendly and helpful self made the long journey easy-going and we made lots of interesting stops along the way. If you have never been to the desert, this is a fantastic way to experience it!
amazing tour, our guide Abdul and his driver were amazing and accommodating. This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. We were even upgraded during our Desert camel experience, where you stay in a hut/tent in the desert - we were upgraded to the rooms which had bathrooms included! It was amazing! My only advice is that option should be standard! the extra 40 euro's/ person is well worth it!
Great tour. Very good guide. Great planning. Only one minus. Lunch places was overpriced, but that is standart for all Morocco trips.
We absolutely loved this tour. We were fortunate to have been paid with another couple of similar age, just four of us on the tour. The two guides, Abdou main tour guide and Hamed the driver were absolutely amazing. They did a fantastic job of making us feel at home. We read other reviews that discussed how much driving their is, but that what it takes to visit these far off locations. The highlight is the overnight stay in the desert. We've never seen so many stars and the accommodations were very comfortable, definitely high-end camping.
