4 Days Morocco Desert Tour From Marrakech

So i spent a while on a previous review for it not to save, but I must say that the trip was great. Day 1: lots of travel. Fabulous Ait Be Haddou with excellent tour guide and film star Shafir(?). Then the beautiful Dades gorge. Accomodation wasn't great, but was fair for what we paid. Day two: Todgha gorge (stunning), carpet maker (surprisingly cool), Erg Chebbi (Awe inspiring). Then, there was the camel ride over the dunes to the tents. 1.25 hours of camel, stopping for the sunset (you may have to wait a while, but that isn't a chore), then into the camp. Know this; the camel ride was awesome, but NOT comfortable. I suggest you wear multiple pants if possible (maybe 10 pairs or so... you'll thank me for this later...). The camp was great, the beds comfortable enough and the atmosphere around the camp fire with the music (more contemporary than expected, but good), was great. Day 3: Up VERY early (5:30), for the return camel ride and stop for the sun's rise. What an experience. It was breathtaking. That said, i was glad to get off the camel. We then went to our Riad - Riad Merzouga Dunes. It was lovely and the people very friendly. The food was also good. We relaxed, then got quads for an hour. This was an incredible experience. Bombing around on the dunes of the Sahara, and going to the top of one of the highest was one of the best experiences I've ever had! Day 4: It's a long way back; so prepare as you won't be sight seeing. Also, be careful what you eat in the places you stop on this day as two of my family ended up poorly - that was not a fault of this tour company though and i would 100% book this trip again, and no, i am not employed by them ;) Finally, i would note that whilst we occasionally had to wait to be picked up, we were never forgotten, communication was always easy, and we were waiting in some of the most beautiful places I've ever been...

5 star review – An unforgettable experience between mountains and desert! We had an absolutely incredible adventure during these 4 days between the Atlas Mountains and the desert, a perfectly organized trip from start to finish. Everything has been designed to offer us an authentic and exotic immersion, with a perfect balance between discovery, comfort and conviviality. From day one, we were warmly welcomed by Jawad, the organizer, whose professionalism and kindness put us in confidence. He created a tailor-made program, allowing us to discover breathtaking landscapes while enjoying impeccable logistics. Our guides were exceptional! Passionate, patient and always ready to share their knowledge about the local culture and the surrounding nature, they made this experience even more rewarding. Their discreet but attentive presence allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in this adventure, while feeling totally safe. The stages of the journey were varied and perfectly rhythmic: crossing the beautiful valleys and gorges of the Atlas, authentic encounters with the inhabitants, and of course, the unforgettable night in the desert under a magical starry sky. Every moment was a wonder, and the flawless organization allowed us to fully enjoy without any stress. A huge thank you to Jawad and his team for this timeless experience! If you’re looking for a unique adventure, combining discovery, nature and sincere encounters, rush with your eyes closed. We leave with incredible memories and only one desire: to return!

Very good trip and a good way to see a lot of Morocco in a short period of time.. Particularly the 2nd day in the gorges as well as the sunrise and camel rides in the desert were spectacular. Absolut worth the long and tedious long drive! A few drawbacks: I would suggest not doing the 4 WD tour as at least in our case this was a real waste of time and money. Also the visits of Ait Ben Haddou and Ouazazarte film studios were not possible on the day we had booked. A bit disappointing, however not the fault of the organiser, just bad luck. But we were not told beforehand so had different expectations. The communication with tour organiser before and throughout the tour was great. They were very responsive when needed and helped overcome unforeseen obstacles. Advice! Take warm clothes in winter and spring, not only for the desert but also for the rest! (Irrespective of the type of room/upgrade you book)
