I booked a private tour from Marrakech to Merzouga desert with other 5 girls. Mohamed was our driver, and Mohamed was our drive. Both of them were very nice and friendly, we learned so much information about Morocco and places we visited from Hassan. Our highlight was the overnight in the Sahara Desert and the day we spent in Merzouga. The food in the camp was great. We will recommend this tour to our friends in UK. Thank you again Mohamed and Hassan.

5 Day Desert Tour from Marrakech

We booked the 5-day desert tour from Marrakech and there is not enough I can say about how fun the tour is, and how great our guide Youssef was. The tour included visiting breathtaking landscapes, great local foods and markets. We had great out activities such as hiking, quad biking, sand boarding, and rock climbing. It was a busy itinerary that helped us make the most of our trip to the Moroccan dessert.

Read-more

The best part of booking this trip was our tour guide Youssef. He spoke clear English, had incredible insight into the history and culture of Morocco, had great ideas for taking pictures for us, and above all he was willing and committed to making sure we were enjoying the experience. We spent a lot of time with him over the course of the five-day tour and I cannot recommend him enough. Youssef made our Moroccan experience special and unforgettable.

The true value of booking through this company is that they provide a tour that could not be replicated elsewhere. The tour is flexible (we had to change ours last minute due to weather) and they do a fantastic job of adjusting the tour to what you want it to be. They were also great with communication and feedback for any questions we had prior to booking. If you are looking to book a trip to Morocco, this is an absolute must.
THANK YOU SO MUCH Youssef and the team. You made our trip fantastic and something that I will never forget.
