My 3-day trip from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga and Dades Valley was simply awesome! Everything was perfectly arranged and managed, from start to finish. The stays were comfortable and clean, and the desert camp experience was absolutely magical — sleeping under the stars in the Sahara was a dream come true.
A special mention to our guide, Said, who made this trip truly unforgettable. He was extraordinary — knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. Said managed everything so smoothly, ensuring we were comfortable, informed, and having fun throughout the journey.
It was a wonderful blend of adventure, scenery, and culture, and I’d highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Morocco!

This was a fantastic experience. Great way to see a good part of the countryside. The camel ride was fun and sunset and sunrise at the desert was just wow! We would highly recommend it. Our tour guide Ahmed was great and exceeded our expectations as a driver and our host. We would happily recommend him to our friends and family.
Thank you, Ahmed!

We overall liked our tour. Camel riding was a unique experience. The luxury camp was very comfortable and cozy. The hotel at dades gorge was beautiful. Our guide was quite knowledgeable. However, we did spend the majority of our time sitting in the car, and only made pit stops to look at a few things.

An unforgettable journey!
As a family with two teenagers (15 and 17 years old), we loved every moment of this 3-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech. The landscapes were breathtaking, the desert camp experience was truly magical, and Ahmed was an outstanding guide always friendly and ready to accommodate all our requests and wishes.
Highly recommended!

We had a great time travelling with Ayoub and Mohammad. They were very caring and satisfied most of our needs. The itinerary was also very good. Although they have changed the hotel, it is still a very nice one with great views, comfy bedroom and nice food. Hugly recommended.

Moustafa was a great guide who is very friendly and always accommodating to our group requests and wishes. The car was also in a very good condition and comfortable, which is important for being on the road for almost 3 days.
The tour overall is extensive and covers pretty much everything that is to see between Fes, Merzouga and Marrakech.
The only downside we had was at our hotel/camp stays. In our night at the desert camp, the heating stopped working in all camp tents in the middle of the night which was very tough considering how cold it was. The food was average in both camp and hotel.

An absolutely wonderful & exciting 3 day journey. Our driver, Hameen, was an excellent host & guide.
Andrea_E, Nov 2024
I loved this tour! The desert was such a beautiful experience. The places they picked to stay were perfect. Hammi was so funny that made it such and enjoyable time. Because it is a lot of driving. He taught us a lot about Morocco, high advised!

Really good tour. Huge thanks to Omar our driver and tour guide who really made the tour amazing. He really went above and beyond helping us through-out. We had some really bad food poisoning and he took us to the pharmacies and let us have multiple stops during the drive.

Fantastic tour - a real adventure - so much to see . Almed was such a good guide and driver - so helpful and friendly .

Prompt communication regarding the pickup location and time. Everything went as expected. Our tour guide Mr. Saeed was a gem, he explained us quite a lot about Morocco and the history of various places along the route. The driver also did a great job of driving such long distance without getting asleep while we were sleeping most of the time during our long journeys. The tent in desert was an excellent lavish setup with a nice dinner and show. There was hot water as well (during last week of December).
All the places we went and stopped by were excellent locations. There were some selected locations where we stopped for lunch these were also good.
The hotel in Dades valley was changed, but was equally good (or better) and comfortable.
A good experience, if you are doing in March/October then the weather will be more appropriate for the desert and can add 2 more days to the tour.

I enjoyed the tour so much! The trip was very well organized. Our guide Mohamed made our trip extra pleasant. He was very efficient, punctual, knowledgeable, and professional. He took good care of us and made sure that everyone was comfortable and safe during the long trip. He shared his knowledge and pride in his culture and history with us at the sites we visited. The camp was clean, simple but beautifully decorated and nice with the comfort of a bathroom with a hot shower in the tent. The sunset and sunrise as well as stars at night in the desert was absolutely beautiful and a once in a lifetime experience. I also liked the traditional music performance at the camp. Food both in the desert camp and hotel in Atlas was good. The communication with the tour company was super easy and efficient. The tour was great value for the money. Absolutely 10 out of 10 and recommended to anyone who is looking for exquisite and exotic Moroccan experience.

Our guide, Mubarak, was the best!
He is an excellent driver and showed us his country with pride.
We learned a lot about his Berber culture and had an unforgettable experience in the Sahara desert.
This is a tour not to be missed!
