Abdel and Hassan are amazing!
CLAIRE_L, Apr 2024
The organization was impressive and the company of the guides: Hassan and Abdel really made it something special. They focused on making the time as best as possible and comfortable as well. There were options to personalize your experience, as well as plenty of opportunities to take incredible photos. Normally traveling with groups isn’t my thing, but they made it seamless from door to door for three days straight 🥹 Some things to note: bring food with you because the bus doesn’t stop anywhere with real food between meals if you’re a hungry person like me and also bring a swimsuit as the hotel the first night has a pool. There’s pretty good wifi on the bus so that’s absolutely helpful for the long drives. They have secure places for your luggage the entire time and really facilitate the best possible experience. I really cannot stress enough how amazing Hassan and Abdel are! I feel so privileged to have met and spent three days with them.
Excellent
Evangelos_A, Apr 2024
Amazing time, best trip I’ve been on so far. My driver Hesham was an amazing guide, you will be taken care of well if you are with him.

All the disappointing moments were in the end worth the 12 hours spent with the camels and experiencing the camp site.
Delina_D, Apr 2024
So I wanted to take a few days to reflect on my experience. Mohammed was a nice guy. The guides were nice as well but to be fair there are a few things that need to change to make this even close to a 4 or 5. And I wondered how you manage to get consistently 5/5. It’s because Mohammed encourages you to write a review with you. How is this an unbiased review when the driver is sitting right next to you helping you write it! Wrong on many levels. The things I’d change 1.) The lunch on day 1 was a disgrace for the price. Well over priced and such poor quality. We have eaten in many Moroccan restaurants for half twn price for double the quality. 2.) the driving was insane. Cutting corners ( but looks like all do this ) but this was constant. 3.) the driving while holding a mobile phone and not only one phone but 2. This I’ve never seen anyone drive while using 2 phones simultaneously. 4.) Taking us to a carpet shop and other shops is not really what I think most tourists are wanting. We all know the driver gets commissions every where we spend money. In all the shops we visited I think 1 tourists spent at 1 store. This must show to you it’s not what we want ? 5.) We shouldn’t be forced to buy set menus. Many tourists would struggle to eat anything in such hot temperatures. The tour itself is very well priced. That I understand. For that you have to accept a few things you don’t like hence why I gave a 3. At the end of the day, I felt my life was seriously in danger and at one point I requested the driver to stop. He looked exhausted and was showing clear signs of fatigue. What do you expect when you require a driver to drive back 10 hours in one day. This itself is a danger to your driver. Mohammed, I loved our chats and banter. You have a big heart. I’ll never forget you. But I’m hoping the company makes some changes for the better. My review is only 1 person but I do encourage others to be open and honest with their reviews.
Amazing trip!
Luke_H, Apr 2024
The trip was great. It was well organised and very easy in terms of information and pick up. In terms of the tour itself, we had the best time, especially in the Sahara. The camel riding and sandboarding were soo much fun and the overnight stay with music and entertainment was well worth it. Our tour guide, Hesham, was excellent too. Really helpful and insightful throughout the entire tour as we drove to through Morocco to the Sahara!

An unforgettable First time in Merzouga Desert
Gerardo_C, Mar 2024
A unforgettable experience in the Sahara Desert with many amazing sightseeing sites in our way. Also, we want to give our gratitudes to our driver Youssef. He was always available and very detailed in our 3-day trip. Thanks for making this trip so welcoming in our first time in Morocco.

Great tour, awesome driver Dozi!
Kritika_S, Mar 2024
Amazing experience, the driver Dozi was fantastic and always kept the energy up- he even let us aux for a bit. All of the stops were great and he was super accomodating for bathroom breaks, atm stops, or just a beautiful road to look at the moon. Great value and would recommend to anyone.

Amazing tour in Morocco!
Amandine_C, Mar 2024
This tour surpassed all expectations! Our driver Dozi made the entire experience amazing and ensured everything ran smoothly! We had some friends book separately and weren’t going to be put on the same bus but Dozi and the other drivers immediately fixed the situation by getting us on the same bus, so kind and thoughtful! There are some parts that are more touristy and the lunch foods are overall more expensive than a typical meal in Morocco, however those are tiny details that did not take away from the experience at all. Definitely a once in a life time trip and would recommend to everyone!

Great tour!
Mathis_A, Mar 2024
We‘ve had a memorable experience during our trip. Pick-up went smooth close to our Riad in the centre of Marrakech. Throughout the trip, our guide Hassan Ngassa was very kind and helpful, and clarified all questions. On top, he ensured a nice atmosphere in the group, especially while playing the drums in the camp. We were able to see great places. Particularly, we were impressed by the Todgha Gorge and enjoyed the views in the desert, though it would have been cool to get a bit further inside. The optional quad tour was fun and worth it. Food was also good and it was ensured to make the long journey as comfortable as possible with a sufficient number of breaks. Overall, great value for money and recommended!

A trip we will cherish forever
Lauren_R, Mar 2024
Absolutely amazing 3 days! This trip is way more than just a desert excursion, we were welcomed as family from the very beginning and have made great friends along the way. We saw the Atlas Mountains, had a guided visit around Ksar Ait Ben Haddou and the Todres Gorges, learned more about the nomad families, had tea with a family in their home while learning about rug making, joined in traditional drumming and dancing - and all that was before our incredible desert experience! Abdellah and Hakim made this trip so special and we couldn’t recommend it more. We will carry the memories with us for a lifetime.

Our dream sahara desert tour
JennyferRoseanne_G, Mar 2024
I came back to Morocco after 3 years just to see sahara desert and Omar, our driver, made sure that we’ll have the best experience. He makes way that our group gets the best from having a safe travel, the stopovers, tours and accommodations. We even take extra stopover whenever there’s someone who needs it badly. Having your own toilet and shower room in the camp is indeed a luxury, the room was massive and bright, the bed was comfy and warm, the best sleep we ever had since we landed in Morocco! I highly recommend this tour, especially Omar 😊 not all the agencies are offering a pick up and drop off at the hotel 😉 Just make sure you have enough cash for lunches, drinks, souvenirs, tips, and ATV (400-500 MAD) if you want to try.

Sipping rose tea & stargazing in the Sahara
Heather_H, Mar 2024
My memories of Morocco from this trip are unforgettable. I was traveling solo, but on this journey led by Abdel and Muhammad, I felt like I was on a family road trip (in a good way!). There is a lot of driving, which allows you to see a lot of Morocco in just a few short days. Make sure to dress according to the weather and bring cash as most places don't accept cards. Big thanks to Adbel and Muhammad, whom I consider friends for life!
