I can’t say enough good things about the tour! Our driver was safe and our guide Ali was so knowledgeable about all our stops and answered all questions we had. I was impressed with how many languages he spoke. He was able to effectively communicate with all the passengers, totaling around 4-5different nationalities. The stops in the Berber villages were incredible, and our guides, Abdul (1st stop) and Ahmed (2nd stop), we’re so much fun and helped us learn many Berber words and told us the history of their people while we toured the mountain villages. The camel ride was a highlight. We also got to stop and sand surf before watching the sunset in the dunes of the Sahara. We were welcomed at camp with friendly faces and a meal that was delicious. We sang and played drums with the locals and watched shooting stars in the night sky. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Morocco!This was such a fun experience! I highly recommend it to everyone that would love to go to Sahara Desert from Marrakesh! The driver Hakim was so nice to everyone and he helped us whenever we needed something. We would not manage to see all these places in such a short time if we were on our own....

The driver Hakim was so nice to everyone and he helped us whenever we needed something. We would not manage to see all these places in such a short time if we were on our own. We had so much fun by visiting Aït Benhaddou, Berbers village, and Merzouga desert! The accommodations was awesome! One night in a good hotel and one night in a private tent. With this price, I think it was definitely a good deal! Thank you again for the tour guides, the organisers, and all the lovely people we have met during tis trip！ Don’t wait, just sign up!The best 3 days of our trip to morocco!! Mohamed is the best!!
