If you’re thinking about booking this tour, just do it! - Wow, what an experience! This tour was absolutely incredible—and at such a reasonable price. From start to finish, everything was seamless, thanks to Abdul, who was a pleasure to work with. He answered all my (many) questions, helped my son check into the hotel a day early, and even arranged things for us to stay beyond the five-day tour. Truly above and beyond! Now, onto the tour itself—where do I even start? Our guides, Angela, Hassan, and Fatima, were absolute gems. Super knowledgeable, incredibly organized, and honestly, just hilarious. They made everything so easy that we never had to worry about a thing. The scenery? Jaw-dropping! The Atlas Mountains are breathtaking, and Kasbah Amridil (entrance fee 50 MAD, just a heads-up) was a stunning glimpse into history. The pit stops at the cooperativa and the clothing store weren’t just touristy gimmicks—they were actually interesting and fun! But let’s talk about the real highlight: the Merzouga desert. The glamping, the camel ride, the endless dunes—it was straight out of a movie. Sandboarding? Check. Chatting with the camel guides? So cool. And the nighttime drum circle? An absolute blast! We even rented quads on the second morning to catch the sunrise, and wow, what a ride—literally! It took us deeper into the dunes and gave us a whole new perspective. The guided tour of the Medina was another standout. Fatima was fantastic—super engaging, informative, and had us laughing the entire time. She made history come alive with her energy and humor. One quick tip: While lunches aren’t included, just know that the available options are typically pre-set menus priced around 120-140 MAD. Nothing crazy, but good to know in advance! All in all, this was an unforgettable trip, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat. If you’re on the fence—just book it! You won’t regret it.

5-Day Morocco Tour - We really enjoyed the trip to the desert, the very friendly and helpful guide at all times facilitated everything we asked. Hotels including the spectacular desert jaima, would certainly repeat. What to say about Abdul, very nice and has provided us with all the information we have requested, contacting us during the journey to know at all times how we were. Recommended without a doubt.

Very good. - Hotels were regularand clean with good coffee and dinner. The tent in the desert was an amazing experience we stayed in a luxury cabin with air-conditioning, but the people who stayed in the standard tents complained that it was too hot and uncomfortable. I'd recommend bringing a scarf on the head, because we've got some sand.

Picture perfect. - The hotels were comfortable and clean. The tent in the desert was amazing. It’s an unmatched experience being out on the sand dunes. I would recommend bringing a head scarf as the locals will tell you it’s required but the price will be double what you’d pay if you got it ahead of time.

Amazing! Worth the cost! Believe the good reviews! - Our group is beyond pleased with this tour. Morocco is a bit an overwhelming place to travel (and only the bravest tourist would dare driving on its roads to get to the cool locations offered in this trip). Seeing the city from the desert, city, and various spots throughout the country side was so unique and so fun. Having all the work planned for you (organizing the camel rides, super nice tents to sleep in, tour guides, etc.) is very helpful. Every portion of the trip exceeded my expectations and for what you are paying this is a crazy good value. Basically a 5 day all included vacation (minus lunch and maybe an admission ticket to an exhibit if you stick around to the end of the last day which some people from our tour group did not because of flight times). We can't imagine having gone to Marrakesh without this tour. Azul/Abdesalam and our other guides were super charismatic and very communicative. Thanks for allowing us to experience your culture!

unforgettable desert experience Despite some unforeseen events. - It has been a very nice unforgettable experience with family, very nice country and beautiful scenery and the super attentive and very friendly achraf driver is a charm. But the organization of the tour has been a bit lousy because I hired the tours in Spanish and asked before I hired him what hotels and what camp it was, in case I had to hire another tour . they passed me with the teleoperator or guide abud And he told me that yes, it was deluxe camp and the Ali hotel in Marrakech.yque all right .He answered all my questions So far all right . But my surprise was when the day before they told me that the camp is not de luxer, that the driver speaks little Spanish and that the rooms must be shared and there were six of us divided into two triple rooms and that I have to pay more money if I want to change it for Camp de luxer and The guide who speaks Spanish. Having contracted the whole Tour a month and a half before they give me the option to cancel the Tour, but I clear after having organized all flight and travel is a lost money And that it was a family birthday surprise and I was not going to do it all backwards. . I angrily call the Viator agency and talk to an operator and he understands me and solves me and says yes it will be luxe camp and three double rooms and so it has, but my surprise is that the driver did not speak anything Spanish everything in English my family does not speak English we have had to speak like the Indians. The driver acharf has tried very hard to make us comfortable and find out everything but my opinion was not necessary to have spent the trip like this, although I do not regret it because they were very good people and did not make it very enjoyable. And for us to get angry nothing could be done anymore we were with family and on vacation we had to have fun. As it has. When I put my opinion is for you to take into account and clear what you are going to hire and leave everything very well tied because after you can come surprises . That is my experience yes it is true that after teleoperator abud asked me during the trip how everything was going.

Beautiful countryside - How the trip was going to unfold was a little confusing. The main contact and the van driver spoke limited English, so communication was a challenge. The two accommodations in the desert were definitely good value and comfortable. There weren't any options provided for meals; everyone was served the same dishes and at lunch the driver often stopped at a specific restaurant often with other tour buses; not areas with multiple options. Many of the shops and restaurants only accepted cash. The views were spectacular. The ride back is very long and hot and you travel 90% of the same way that you did getting there; so nothing new to see. Drinking water was not included and the tap water does not run cold.
