Fes to Marrakech: Unforgettable 3-Day Sahara Odyssey

Fun experience with lots of sight seeing. Get to see a part of Morocco you wouldn’t otherwise see. *additional costs before departing for trip that weren’t specified in the description.

Our tour was so much fun! A once in a lifetime experience at its finest. Younes was the best - very informative, positive and excited to show us around. Would recommend taking a tour with Younes!

Great time touring the Sahara with Yunis. Great views of the mountains and amazing camel ride into our camp. Good food, fun people, great exposure to the Moroccan culture. Highly recommend!

This tour was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip! A must have experience if you are visiting Morocco for the first time. We got picked up in a comfortable minibus (with WiFi) by Abdul who was a great companion and informative guide to have for such a long journey. He checked in on us often and made sure we knew what to expect for every stop made. You definitely will not be surprised by any unexpected charges; he will let you know well ahead of time and ask if we needed an ATM. He always reminded us not to feel shy to ask if we needed to make any additional stops outside of what was organized. Along the way we were paired with other friendly guides for all the mini tours within the daily itinerary and we always felt well taken care of. I was amazed by what we expected and was even more amazed by the sight-seeing destinations we did not even realize we were signing up for. There are a few 1 hour-long walking tours (1 per day) with lots of hiking, so definitely make sure to have your water, head covering and hiking shoes. As for the desert tent experience, the rooms were absolutely beautiful and very comfortable with a full ensuite washroom and air conditioning.

Our trip was a blast. Our driver, Omar, was a pro, and he made sure all of our needs were met from A to Z. He gave us stops when we needed them. Did not hesitate to pull over for breathtaking views. The tour itself was amazing. The desert tour was the highlight. We had the opportunity to rent quad bikes for 400 DAR and it's worth it. I would highly recommend this tour and ask for Omar !

Not a luxury experience. We had a mixed experience with this tour. We opted for luxury tent upgrade option. Good points: You get picked up and dropped of from your hotels or near your riads if inside medina. The camel ride was very fun. The camel ride on the evening of the day two to the tent camp and camel ride the next morning back to the van park were included in the package and were extremely great fun. Watching the sunset while riding camel was a serene experience. Also watching the sun rise next morning behind the sand dunes was spectacular. We opted to go for additional ATV riding through the sanddunes experience in the day three morning in stead of camel ride back to the van park. ATV ride was also great fun. The guides were good and kept an eye on all riders all the time. Highly recommend. Visit to Ait Bain Haddoo was fun in spite of the scorching sun. The driver Ibrahim was helpful and tried his best to accommodate people's needs. There was some technical problem with the van while we were at Ait Bain Haddoo which he tried to get it fixed while we were site seeing. But there was some miscommunication. His timely decision to fix the van while we were site seeing saved us from being stranded on the road later and we were grateful for it. He was a good driver. He also tried to take us to a hotel with better AC rooms but other tour members wanted to go to the hotel in Tinghir where all other groups (basic package) were staying. That hotel had horrible AC. So I give cudos to our driver for trying. Not so good points: There is a lot of driving. The drive from Marakkech to Merzouga was all day albeit with stops every 2/3 hours and Merezouga to Fes on day three was 7.5 hours. We were 18 passengers packed in a small van with tiny seats. There was hardly any leg room. If you are taller than 5'8 you need to really rethink this trip. The hotel rooms on the first night didnt have functioning AC. Bathrooms were basic. Food was nothing to write about and water at the dinner table was not free. In general food was not great at any meals. Water was free at breakfast in the hotel. Breakfasts and lunches on way to merzouga desert were buffet and not good. I and my friend made a combined reservation for the tour for two and requested separate tents. However we were assigned a couple's tent. That was very disappointing. All of this needs to be fixed by the tour operators. We will contact the company about it. All in all this was not a luxury experience at all. I recommend tour operators to either get bigger vans or put fewer people per van with bigger seats. Make sure hotels have functioning AC in all rooms. Improve food.

We booked this trip for two purposes: to see the desert and to get transported from Fes to Marrakech. Both things were accomplished and therefore it deserves two stars — but nothing more. We honestly had thought this was a tour that would include more relevant information about Morocco from the guide, especially when you spend three days with him on a bus. To summarize the things we believe the company should consider improving: * Communication: We sent two messages and got zero response. We found the correct meeting time only because the hotel staff helped us. * Price level at every stop: Much higher than average prices in major cities. * Restaurants selected for lunch: Prices here were more than double those in the major cities. Food quality was poor and the selection limited. * Additional entry fees: The itinerary clearly stated that Ait Ben Haddou was free, but we were charged 2 euros per person. * Sales sessions: Suddenly, we were led into a carpet shop where we were shown how the carpets were made — and of course, we could buy them. None of the group did. It would be really nice to ask people in advance whether they want to participate — just like we each decide for ourselves whether we want to enter a shop or not. * Cash: Expect to carry a lot of cash on the trip. We didn't see an ATM for three days. The overall feeling was that the trip felt more like a sales tour where you are getting ripped off, rather than a tour where we would learn about Morocco — as we had expected. This was the general feeling among the other participants on the trip, and we actually had quite a bit of fun joking about all the sales-related stuff.

Abdul was an amazing tour guider ! He is informative and kind person We just started from Fez 1st day, we went for the Sahara Merzouga desert. We could ride a camel and sand board It was a bucket list in my life!! And we could see the beautiful sunset and stars I never experienced before like that And also, 2nd and 3rd day we could enjoy Morocco landscape and learn morrocan cultures It was enjoyable and amazing experience in my life

truly a trip of a lifetime. the whole experience fascinating and well-coordinated. the lodgings were clean, and the guides were knowledgeable. i highly recommend this trip.

Highly recommend this trip for anyone who would like to explore the country of Morocco. We had an amazing time exploring villages and towns, local spots, and a night in the desert with camel rides. Our driver Med was super knowledgeable and made the trip unforgettable.
