The experience has exceeded our expectations. Nine days in southern Morocco with a very well-planned route and charming accommodations. Excellent work by the guide/driver Ali. The trip included two days of trekking in Djebel Saghro, which we enjoyed a lot thanks to the good work of the guide Ibrahim and the muleteer Aziz.

The trip consisted mostly of driving through an admittedly breathtaking scenery. However, you are on a constant race with dozens of other buses taking the same route. On the first day we had, apart from some coffee/bathroom stops, just a five minute foto stop, a pointless visit to an Argan cooperative, and lunch at Aït Ben Haddou followed by a tour of about 90 minutes which felt a bit rushed. Of course, Aït Ben Haddou is a wonderful place. At the hotel in Tinghir, I had a freshly renovated room which I enjoyed. The hotel had nice views. The next day featured an interesting guided visit to a Berber village which included an entertaining carpet presentation of about half an hour and a walk through the amazing Toudra Gorge. At Merzouga, the group was split. I was the only one from my group going to that specific camp. The obligatory camel ride was enchanting at the beginning. But after 20 minutes or so we had to get off the camels to wait for the sunset which was still more than one hour away. We were not given any instructions or recommendations what to do. The place got more and more frequented by all kinds of noisy vehicles speeding through the desert. After the beautiful sunset we were rushed back to our camels. Instead of going deeper into the desert we went in a half circle back to the direction we came from. The camp was close to a road, which probably cannot be avoided, and also to some solid buildings (see the attached pic). During the night, you could hear the noise of motorbikes. The tents were indeed comfortable and dinner there was the only time I got some good food during the trip. Sunrise the next morning was at 6:30am and at 7:30am I already had to leave. I can hardly call this a desert experience. It was rather closer to an amusement park. The final day consisted mainly of driving. The driving from the Atlas mountains down to Marrakesh seemed a bit hazardous. The bus looked ok and was reasonable comfortable, but many seatbelts were not working. On the second day, the door opened several times during driving. On the last day, one of the old tires went flat. As I have already mentioned, food was not great most of the time. On the second day, the lunch was really bad, and lunch on the final day was not much better. I have mixed feelings about the tour. It gave me many precious moments, but in this form I would not take it again nor recommend it.
Thank you for your detailed feedback. First of all, we are glad that you could enjoy some beautiful moments during the trip, especially the landscapes, Aït Ben Haddou and the desert sunset. However, we would like to clarify something very important: 👉 This was a group tour, and as we always explain, group tours follow a fixed schedule and shared logistics. This means less flexibility, more stops with other travelers and a tighter timing. To be honest, what you describe is exactly why we always recommend private tours to our clients. ✔ No rush ✔ No waiting ✔ No big groups ✔ Real desert experience In private tours, you don’t share the experience with buses or large groups, you go deeper into the desert, you control the timing and everything is much more authentic and relaxed. Because of situations like this, we have already decided to stop offering group tours and focus only on private experiences, where we can guarantee the quality and comfort that we want for our clients. Regarding the technical points (vehicle, timing, etc.), we take your comments seriously and will review them internally. Finally, we appreciate your honesty, but it’s important to understand that a group tour can never be compared to a private experience in the Sahara. If you ever come back, we would be happy to show you the real desert experience — done the right way. Best regards, Brahim
Very nice very familiar and very enriching
Muchísimas gracias 😊🙏 Nos alegra mucho saber que te pareció una experiencia bonita, familiar y enriquecedora. Ese es exactamente el tipo de experiencia que queremos ofrecer a nuestros clientes ❤️ Esperamos volver a verte pronto en Marruecos 🇲🇦 Un abrazo, Brahim
Amazing trip, thank you so much to Brahim, he was our driver, guide and one more of the family, he took us to the most original and not so touristic places and when walking and shopping in the locals here he always helped us to choose well and to give us a better price, experience 100% recommended

Gracias de corazón por vuestra recomendación, significa mucho para nosotros 🙌 Esperamos volver a veros muy pronto en Marruecos 🇲🇦 Un fuerte abrazo, Brahim
Our guide Salim Brahim has been a 10: he picked us up with some typical cookies before we set out on the trip. Not going as a group we could manage the times much better, for example, we did not want to visit Atlas studios and instead added a stop for the Kasbah Amridil. Brahim was very adapted to our preferences and tastes and we were making stops in the middle of nowhere to see the camels on the road or arrive in time in the desert to add the quad bike tour through the dunes. He also explained curiosities and also everyday things that allowed us to have a more real view of life in Morocco. The hotel in Dades a 10, but the crown jewel was the jaimas: spectacular, it is a unique experience! The day back is many hours of road and Brahim brought us a pizza Berber from his village for food, goodiessima!
Muchísimas gracias por vuestro comentario 😊🙏 Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutasteis tanto del viaje y que la experiencia fue a vuestro gusto. Para nosotros es muy importante poder adaptarnos a cada cliente, especialmente en tours privados, donde podéis vivir el viaje a vuestro ritmo y según vuestras preferencias. Salim Brahim estará encantado de saber que valoráis su trabajo 😊 siempre intenta cuidar cada detalle, desde las pequeñas sorpresas hasta explicar la cultura y la vida local de una forma auténtica. Nos alegra también que os gustara el hotel en el Valle del Dades y, sobre todo, la experiencia en las jaimas — como decís, es algo único en el desierto ✨ Y qué bien que disfrutasteis la pizza bereber 😄 es una de las cosas más especiales y auténticas de nuestra zona. Gracias de corazón por vuestra recomendación ❤️ Esperamos volver a veros muy pronto en Marruecos 🇲🇦 Un fuerte abrazo, Brahim
All great, it has been a wonderful journey Brahim very detailed and attentive, an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended

We just returned from an incredible 3-day desert trip from Marrakech to Merzouga. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, from the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara dunes. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was our driver, Brahim. He is an absolute legend, professional, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable. It was a true pleasure to travel with him and learn so much along the way. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you are lucky enough to get Brahim as your guide!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are truly delighted to hear that you enjoyed your 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga and that the breathtaking landscapes of the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara made such a lasting impression. A special thank you for your kind words about Brahim. We are very proud to know that his professionalism, friendliness, and dedication helped make your journey so memorable. Sharing our culture and making our guests feel comfortable throughout the trip is exactly what we strive for. Your recommendation means the world to us, and we sincerely appreciate the time you took to share your experience. We hope to welcome you back to Morocco one day for another unforgettable adventure!
