Couldn't have asked for a better 3 days, and all credit to Abdel our guide - an absolute legend! Went above and beyond to make it an enjoyable trip for us, left no stone unturned in showing us every nook and cranny along the way, and his passion for the country shows through how knowledgable he was in answering all of our questions. Thank you!!

Hassan (guide) and Azzddin (driver) were both excellent. Very friendly and helpful and did everything they could to make our trip better. Great hotel on the first night - beautiful and excellent food. Itinerary is interesting but I want to stress you are very much on a tourist trail. Loads of busses are doing this route every day so you end up moving along from one tourist hotspot to another - expect multiple shopping opportunities (which I would like to say we weren’t pressured into buying) but those form the core of most stops. The desert camp is pretty industrial but means it’s far more comfortable than I was expecting! Lunch stops are all generally at tourist restaurants too which is a shame if you like trying to eat with locals! Final point is there is a lot of driving involved (you have a long way to go!) so be prepared for many hours in the bus. This is fairly obvious but worth pointing out. All in all a good way to see quite a lot of scenery but with some of the above drawbacks - all to be expected but good to be aware in advance

These were the best 3 days of my Morocco holidays. Ayoub is fantastic, provided fantastic and safe, timely transfer. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for desert experience. ATV experience was super fun and thrill.

The trip was very well arranged, our guide Abdullah was very timely and due to his clear information and strict timing everything went very smoothly. He also brought a good spirit and was funny.

if you’re visiting morocco there is no reason you should not do this tour. If you are lucky enough to have Abdullah as your guide you will be treated like family from the very beginning and have a friend for life. The other travelers on this journey only make it more sweet. Definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity with people you’ll never forget

The experience was overall unique and lovely. You get what is in the description. The standard tent in the dessert was alright, wasn't too hot or cold in October. In the same camp, some other people saw a mouth at night in their tent, so beware you are going to experience the nature very closely in all its forms. ATV experience comes with additional fee and was an absolute highlight for me. The mini bus could have been more comfortable for such a lengthy journey, other groups heading to Marrakech had better busses. Thank you Ayoub B for taking care of us.

This was a great tour. Our guide, Haadi, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and entertaining. This tour has a lot of driving, but we knew it going in and the tour was with it. The accommodations were nice, we loved the Sahara camp. We did the quads out and the camels back.

This tour was an incredible way to experience all that Morocco has to offer. The historical landmarks, nature, excursion, and tour guides were fun and made the experience memorable! The true stars of the show over the three days were the tour guide, Haadi, and driver, Ibrahim. All of the stops were highly insightful and breathtaking, namely the Dades Gorge and Ait Benhaddou. The Merzouga camp was also comfortable and food throughout all of the stops were tasty and a reflection of traditional cuisine. The ATV ride and camp fire was a fun way to cap off our experience in the desert! I would highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants an all encompassing and immersive experience in Morocco.

A stellar experience of Morocco including the Sahara. Our guides including Aadi were knowledgeable and welcoming to their culture and history. Well paced itinerary and worth the early starts to see the stars!
