Brilliantly organised tour with stunning scenery. Well looked after. Professional driver /guide - 5 day tour to Ouarzazate, Dades Valley, Todra Gorge, Mezouga desert camp, Agdz. Right from the start of our communication by email with Ali, the service was high quality. DSF encouraged us to request modifications so the tour suites our needs. We requested a homestay with a Berber family in the Dades valley, which Ali organised. That was a highlight being exposed to Moroccan hospitality with a family in a small village. The final night was in the stunning Kasbah Kissane and I encourage you to request staying there. It will be a bit more expensive but such a treat . Our driver Yasser was brilliant. It felt like his personal mission was to ensure all our needs were met and we had a high quality experience. He was always polite, accommodating, respectful and professional. He encouraged us to request any stops we wanted for photos or breaks. His English was excellent and easy to understand. We never felt rushed or under pressure. His driving was excellent and the car new and very very clean. Yasser added an extra trip to nomadic families living in tents. Prior to the tour Ali booked all our train tickets for us ( can't book online from Australia) and changed them for us when we needed to change our plans. From start to finish it was brilliant service and an absolutely stunning trip Recommendations: - do the 5 day desert tour rather than the 3 or 4 day - request a family homestay, if that sort of thing interests you - first night we had a stunning hotel with direct views of Ben Haddou, 400 metres away. - request Kasbah Kissane in Adgz on last night ( will be a bit more expensive ) - request Yasser as your driver ( although reading the reviews, all the drivers are highly rated. Note : - our tour didn't include lunches and most tourist restaurants on the road have set menus that cost around $A 20 pp

AMAZING moments! - Incredible memory of this circuit! We were accompanied by Younes, more precisely “our Genius 🧞‍♂️ of Aladdin”!!! 🤩 He knew how to make our trip very pleasant, he knew how to explain and make us discover a lot of cultural things, he is a very kind person both with children and adults, he really shared with us, it was great! So thank you, thank you very much for this beautiful person with a big heart for our tour to the Merzouga desert via the High Atlas. Regarding the circuit, the scenery, the hotels, the meals, the camel ride , EVERYTHING was great! The tour; we had the opportunity to do it in 4 days / 3 nights, so some travel time is there, but it is so beautiful that we let ourselves be lulled by the beautiful landscapes and totally different at each place, between the gorges, the mountains , the rocky desert, the sand desert, the oases... a beautiful part of discovery of the country! In the hotels, the staff was always very helpful and friendly, smiling , and we feasted with their meal, dessert was simple but that was more than enough! All establishments were clean. The Merzouga sandy desert is definitely worth a visit! Being surrounded by these beautiful sand dunes, on the back of a camel 🐪 what could be more exotic?! Memorable moment with family, and the bivouac was just amazing! We had fun there and enjoy the beautiful sunset and sunrise! ☀️ To conclude, feel free to trust them on your trip, you will not be disappointed, because I think there is a very generous team! At the small care of comfort and especially listening to our requests! With your eyes closed go! (but not too much the scenery is superb either! ☺️✨

Truly a beautiful experience - A perfect organization for a three-day tour. Yunus accompanied us with professionalism and attention on this tour to the Merzouga desert. Ours was a family trip and he left us our space, always available without being intrusive. He was able to interpret our needs, making us appreciate the magnificent landscape we passed through, with stops at the most panoramic points and explanations to our questions. The new and very clean van allowed us to travel many kilometers in complete comfort. The hotel in the mountains and the tents in the desert were both very nice and clean, with a particularly charming atmosphere. Desert sans frontieres is a serious and reliable agency, vividly described. Truly a great experience!
