A really well organised trip, very professionally run. Our driver Ouhane was brilliant, and was a top guide as well as a driver. Great views, food and a good trek in the shadows of Mt Toubak. Would certainly recommend as a day out from Marrakesh .
We did the private four day desert trip from Marrakesh to Fes and it was amazing! We were greeted at our riad by our guide Sufian who instantly made us feel welcome. He was a great guide and over the four days it was nice to get to know him and explore Morocco. He went out of his way to accommodate us including finding us a hotel room for an afternoon when we became a bit unwell! Fantastic sights on the way with the desert camp a real highlight. Would recommend 👌
Mohamed Ouahan is an excellent tour guide! He picked up at our hotel in Marrakesh and drove us to Agafay, where we had tea in a Berber village before riding camels into the desert at sunset. Mohamed explained much about his culture and country to us. Our hosts and the camels were amazing—a great experience!
We had the 2 days desert tour and overall it was a great experience.
Pros:
- Get some sightseeing while traveling to the desert
- Meet others while traveling, however it would be best being in groups of 6 or more as the dromedaries ride was just for us and we had our own guide for the tour.
- Ride with the dromedaries at sunset and sunrise was really good.
- Tent wasn't shared and was okay
- Had our own table for tea and dinner (group of 6)
- Great to see the stars without light pollution
- Fun guides (bus driver and Berber guys)
Cons:
- Bumpy and long bus trip (could get carsick)
- Extra charges not mentioned even tho it's not the agency's fault as they are random strangers (Eg. Pay to go to the toilet, random guide trying to charge you but it's best to do your own walk at the place) All these charges can be avoided by simply ignoring the people at the toilet (as this price should be already included when consuming at the place) and you can avoid the guides by just doing the walk on your own.
- Very cold in the desert and fire camp didn't last long.
Overall I must say that the trip was worth it and we had a great time/experience.
Recommendations
When doing this trip during the winter, dress accordingly as it is freezing at night.
Be prepared for a bumpy ride and bring the necessary stuff to avoid being car sick.
Be aware of people trying to charge you extra as it wasn't specified in the email from the agency, as said before, you can avoid these even tho it will be annoying.
We booked the private tour for three days and two nights from Fes to Marrakech. Started out our journey meeting the friendliest driver in the country, Reda. He knows the best views along the way to Merzouga and stops for the best photo spots as if he read our minds. When we got to our luxury camp in the Sahara, the tents looked exactly like the pictures we saw on their website. Definitely exceeds our expectations, food was amazing with incredible hospitality. The entertainment of traditional Berber music and dance made the evening more exciting. The only downside is that the drive was time consuming but the scenic views and landscape made the overall experience unforgettable. We highly recommend this company to anyone visiting Morocco and will definitely use their service on our next visit.
