My partner and I did the three day trip from Marrakech to Erg Chigaga with DesertBrise Travel. Originally, we planned to just do a group tour but switched to a private tour the day before and it was an excellent choice. My partner and I have traveled to many different places in the world and this tour was magical. We say villages, beautiful mountains covered with snow, a hidden gem of a Kasbah, the Sahara, and Erg Chigaga.
This was certainly the best tour we have ever done in our life. Our driver Mohamad was incredibly skilled at driving, navigation, and spoke excellent English. We was also a great guide giving us tips about Morocco, telling us about the culture, and picking out great view points for pictures. He is from the Sahara and knows the region like the back of his hand. He was able to guide us through the Sahara with no GPS, map, or hesitation. I was beyond impressed and aspire to one day have as great of a sense of direction and driving skill as Mohamad.
If you are a photographer, this trip is stellar for photography. The landscapes you will travel through are some of the most spectacular sights. Being from Colorado, I grew up in the mountains but was still stunned by the sights. The sand dunes were probably my favorite natural landscapes I have ever photographed as well.
If I could give this trip more than 5 stars I absolutely would. If you are thinking about whether you should do a desert trip or not while you are in Morocco, I will give you the answer right now... YES DO IT! My only regret from the trip is I wish I would have gone for even more days. The desert is incredible and DesertBrise helped make our trip a once-in-a-lifetime travel opportunity.
