An unforgettable experience in the Sahara - It was a very well organized program, it met all our needs, we learned a lot about Morocco along the way. This trip was one of the best choices of our time here. Our guide, Jamal, is a very direct, nice guy, an experienced driver, he overcame obstacles on the roads without any problems. During the 3 days, he did everything for our comfort, took us to great places. The food was good, all the guides were very kind, Hassan in Aït Benhaddou and Kamal in the Todra Canyon, both spoke excellently in several languages. I can only recommend this unmissable and great opportunity to everyone. It really provides an unforgettable experience.

Fantastic and well-organized trip! Much for the money. - Great travel and great value for money. We were picked up in minibuses near the hotel (one cookie: the telephone receptionist was not geographically known, and recommended us a pickup point at a hotel quite far away. We went there by taxi in the morning and went on with the tourist bus to Djema el Fna, which was 5 minutes from our riad). The minibus was comfortable and well tempered, and we were not so many on the trip - around 19 I think. We had a nice exit with many stops at sights. There was time to come out to see, and good guidance. The bus driver and guide were empathic and inclusive, creating a good atmosphere in the bus. The only downside was that due to the large number of Spanish passengers, the guided bus was mostly in Spanish, and not so much in English. But when the driver spoke English, we got some guidance from him. And when we were out of the bus, we got nice guidance in both languages. The sights were well organized. We really felt, we got to see Morocco, from mountains and berber villages and art, to the Sahara and oases. The Camel Riding is a chapter in itself: We had two riding trips - both out in the Sahara desert at sunset and home from the Sahara at sunrise. Really nice trips and domesticated, well cared camels, who seemed safe with their owners. The camel drivers were very sweet and welcoming. The accommodation was fantastic. The first night we stayed in a good hotel, and the second night in tents in the desert. There were social events and clear starry skies in the Sahara desert, and there was a swimming pool in the hotel. The food was super good almost everywhere. And most food was included in the price. Only lunch should be purchased. The first lunch place was a slightly conformed pizzeria with expensive and boring pizzas. But the next lunch was super good with a buffet with Moroccan specialities. Really worth the money. All in all, great that you can experience so much for so little money. The price is including 9 hours drive each way Marrakech-Saraha desert return. And this is the real desert you get into.

Great trip - We had a great time! It was everything that we wanted out of a Morocco and Sahara tour experience. Camel riding, sand surfing and ATVs were our favorite parts. Our driver, Hisham, was very nice and made our trip much better. Definitely recommend!

An affordable yet unforgettable experience. - we had so much fun on our 3-day tour. one of the best travel experiences i have had. The first town you visit is incredible and the first night we stayed in a lovely hotel as well. There was quite a bit of driving on the trip but it doesn’t feel bad at all because of all the scenery. Our guide ibrahim was awesome too, he helped us find and get ATVs once we got to the desert (not included in the tour but a MUST DO experience at only 50 euros per person). He also brought us and showed us everywhere without any issues whatsoever. his van was also great for charging phones and storing belongings. but do beware there are no outlets in the tent area on the second night so bring a portable charger at the bare minimum. we brought one and our phones still almost died. all in all though an incredible experience which is beyond worth the price. with the ATV cost and all the food and scarfs we bought it was only about €150 for three days which you honestly can’t beat.

My first desert experience - We have just returned from our 3-day adventure in the Mergouza desert. This is a UNIQUE adventure to make once in a lifetime. Despite the long road to the desert, crossing the atlases and going to the desert allowed us to make several stops to discover this wonderful country. The organization is amazing for the price!!! The quality of the small buses for the A1 journey, the meals on time and delicious A1, the desert adventure in camel for bedtime and sunrise unique and wonderful. And the kindness and benevolence of our organizers made travelling an unforgettable memory. Finally THANK YOU to Mohamed our driver for his good behavior and kindness 🙏☀️🌺 I highly recommend this adventure ☀️☀️☀️
