Morocco Magic: Fez to Marrakech Sahara Desert Odyssey

Medhi was our guide and he brought from Fes to Marracash. We had an Amazing experience in the desert and we did the camel riding. The guide answers properly to all our questions!

Meddy was our driver on our English speaking (albeit, mostly Italian 🤌) tour group and he did a fantastic job. He's exactly the kind of guide you hope to get for your tour. He was informative, considerate, humorous, and approachable. A few notes about the tour... The van was spacious enough that my 6'3" tall husband felt comfortable sitting for several hours at a time in between tour stops. The camels in the desert were adorable! There was an opportunity to upgrade to a quad bike, but riding a camel in and out of the desert was fun and definitely worth it as the experience was different at sunset and sunrise. I booked a standard tent and felt cold while I slept. I do wish there were warmer blankets available. The mattress was firm, but comfortable. The towels in the bathroom ran out before I could shower which was annoying. (Thank goodness for Lume body wipes!) Overall, it's no worse than camping for a night. You will probably come out of the desert covered in sand anyway. The gorge and Ait Ben Haddou were also highlights. The locations are beautiful. Our tour guide, Meddy, also took us to a nomadic family's home in the desert which was an experience I'll never forget. I was really looking forward to the valley of the roses, but that component of the tour went faster than I expected. We went to a coffee shop / rose product souvenir shop with a two minute explanation on how the roses are distilled. We left immediately afterwards so I felt like this part of the tour was a bit of a let down. The women's rug coop was a crazy stop. This one really did have some of the best deals I've seen (based on similar experiences in Marrakesh and Fes). The salesman was incredibly pushy and made us all feel quite uncomfortable. If you do want a rug, this is a great spot. If you don't want a rug then I highly recommend not pointing at anything or asking about prices as you will face incredible pressure to buy something. Despite the odd moments on this trip, I still highly recommend it to anyone who's interested. My driver was great and we saw so many incredible things. I learned so much about Morocco on this tour. Thank you again, Meddy!!!

Medhi was an excellent guide. He brought a lot of humor and knowledge over the course of 3 days. He took us to many amazing sites and beautiful views. He also provided us insider tips to avoid potential scams. The van was comfortable (and I’m tall so plenty of leg room) and the long drives blinked by. I highly recommend Medhi.

Awesome guide, lovely views, camp was nice although the camels are a bit uncomfortably. They give you plenty of food and thick blankets for the night.

We had a great experience. Our guide Omar was really welcoming and managed to make the trip something special. I would always recommend it!

We had a great time on our tour. We were very impressed with our guide Omar Fiaz. He went out of his way repeatedly in a very genuine manner to make sure that we had a great time without expectation. Just one of many examples was providing us with a scarf for our Sahara trip when my sisters did not fit. The stops, guides, and overall experience was far beyond my expectations. I can’t recommend it enough!

We had a wonderful experience with our guide, Maidi. He was fluent in English, knowledgeable about the Merzouga Sahara and Atlas region, and incredibly accommodating to all our requests. His warm personality and professionalism made the journey smooth and memorable. Highly recommended!

Omar Faiz is an excellent guide and driver. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and always makes the trip comfortable and enjoyable. I truly appreciate his professionalism and warm hospitality. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and outstanding guide.

This was a fun trip to go from the snowy mountains to the desert and camel ride in the same day! It was a lot of driving but definitely worth all the amazing sites! Our driver Abdal was great at answering questions and telling us about the sites we were driving past. Would definitely do this again!

Abdel Moreno was the best driver. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. I would take a tour from him again! I enjoyed the stops at the desert and unesco world heritage site.
