Great tour - highly recommend

Anissa_H, Nov 2025

Great Tour I would definitely recommend. Our guide and driver made the many kilometers pleasant with numerous interesting stops, some facts on Moroccan history etc. The accomodation for both nights was really good, the rooms were nice and spacious, the staff friendly and the food delicious. The lunch options were ok on all 3 days. The communication with the tour provider upfront was also always quick and easy. Sandboarding in the Sahara was offered for free and in addition to the camel or jeep ride, we could have also taken a buggy back to Merzouga for extra charge.

Youseff the driver/guide was GREAT, accommodations, the opposite.

Michael, Nov 2025

It would be a five, because Youseff was an absolutely fantastic driver (I learned a new way to pass people safely and effortlessly) and he knew wonderful places to eat and was personable and knowledgeable. the only reason we do not give a “5” is because of the accommodations, especially the “luxury” tents in the desert. Youseff really made the trip excellent, and he is not responsible for the accommodations- in short, hard beds, hard pillows, and not super hospitable folks. At the luxury tents it was kinda just awful- we were told we would get to the tents and have plenty of time for a shower, after along day of driving and the nearly 1.5 hours ont he camel. Well, we were dropped at 7:53 and told to hurry up, dinner was at 8 and to make it in time so that we could enjoy the dinner so they could get the music going. We were a tad put out by the abruptness, and we showered and got ready. The tent, yes, a king size bed, hard as bales, pillows the same, almost no water pressure, and there really was nothing luxurious about it. Since then we have seen pictures from folks we met who stayed in other tents and those tents did indeed look luxurious. The food was “ehh”. The Hotel we stayed the first night was similar in structure and hardness. We highly recommend Youseff.

Incredible experience,...

Silvia_D, Sep 2025

Incredible experience, which was definitely worth the many kms it covers. Ayoub, who lead our group, was more than a guide: he took care of almost any our need and helped us understand the multifaceted identity of Moroccan people. Mohammed efficiently co-worked with him by driving us around and making many pleasant stops.
