Visiting the stars in the Desert - A most enjoyable holiday. Younes allowed us to tailor the tour to our needs and Mohamed was the best driver we could have. We even changed plans on the go. I’d do it again!

A fantastic experience all round - Can not speak highly enough of my experience with Younes and the team. As a solo traveller I was nervous to book a private tour for such a long trip to Chigaga, but from day one I was made so comfortable by my driver Abdel, a local Berber with expansive knowledge of the whole route, and a very skilled driver in the sand. The hospitality at the hotel in Zagora was exceptional and the food was some of best I had in Morocco, including at the desert camp. I really recommend this company for a great value option for private tours. The fact that they have their own hotel and desert camp is a real bonus too as it's very personal and you get to meet everyone at the company.

Unforgettable experience, fantastic guide and organisation. - Caravane Travelling through Morocco, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to visit the Atlas Mountains and the desert (Erg Chigaga). We contacted Caravane du Grand Erg for advice and suggestions. Younis was incredibly helpful and prompt and clear with his replies. We decided on a 3-day private trip Marrakesh to Erg Chigaga. We are super glad we booked with Caravane du Grand Erg. On the trip itself: Ibrahim picked us up. His enthusiasm is infectious. He introduced us to the region and culture. He is a fantastic driver, knowledgeable and was attentive to our needs. He introduced us to some great music. He is well and truly fab! There are too many highlights to mention. However the part in the desert: just wow. We went in low season (Sept) and we were the only ones staying in the desert camp which made it special. I recommend star gazing! Accommodation both nights were good. All in all, we are incredibly happy with our experience and would 100% recommend Caravane du Grand Erg and Ibrahim as the person by your side when you take the trip.

Unusual desert - The tour was absolutely special! I'll never forget that. The guides who accompanied us in the car and also in the desert camp were super cute and the sites where they took us really beautiful and for me unimaginable in the desert

Great desert tour - We had a 3 day tour from Marrakech via Zagora to Erg Chagaga and back via Foum Zguid. Our driver was friendly, accommodating and explained the sights to us in good English during many stops. We had many opportunities for photos on the way through the High Atlas and through the desert despite our short schedule. Our driver was able to master the difficult conditions in the desert and mountains very well. A great experience!

Wow....wow... - What an amazing experience from start in Marrakesh to the rolling sand dunes of Erg Chigaga with Youness and our guides. We were a family group of 10 adults so we knew it could be a logistical nightmare but Youness did everything to make us comfortable. We went in July during Eid el Kabir..we knew it would be hot and our guides did everything to help us keep cool. The roads were empty which made the journey easier, we stopped along the way to give trest to the children for Eid, their happy faces receiving sweets and gifts from strangers and we were offered tea and hospitality from their parents which was special. Youness and his team gave lots of information about the trip and kept us entertained with music and singing throughout the journey. Our first night was in Zagora in an Auberge. The facilities were authentic and the hospitality was excellent. We had wonderful food during the stay and it was my husbands 40th birthday which was made special with balloons, decorations and lots of singing. I csnt thank them enough for making it a special night. The next day we left for the desert stopping to buy some head scarf for protection, it was an amazing ride through the desert until we reached camp. The facilities we great and very clean, all had en suite showers. Despite the 40 degree heat we felt okay, even with a small sand storm during the evening. The camel ride into the dunes were just magical, even with one naughty camel in the party wanting to have a day off....then we had an lovely evening meal of several different tagine and of course more singing and dancing. I cannot state how wonderful everyone was at helping us make such great family memories. I wish to thank Youness and everyone for everything they did, truly a once in a lifetime trip.

Amazing Journey into Desert - The staff were all incredible, and always went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. The food and accommodations were all top notch. The desert was beautiful from the sand dunes to the stars at night. We felt very special and cared for during our stay. We plan on telling everyone we know about this trip and the wonderful company that provided it.
