Basic Desert 3 Days 2 Nights from to Marrakesh
Description
This short 3 days / 2 nights tour will take you to discover southern Morocco and the immense and colorful Erg Chebbi desert near Merzouga. Legend has it that when a wealthy local family refused hospitality to a poor woman and her son, God buried the whole family under mounds of sand in a location 50km south of Erfoud, now known as Erg Chebbi. You can spend an unforgettable night in the dunes in an equipped tented camp admiring a wonderful starry sky and enjoying the tranquility of the desert. During the tour you will have the opportunity to visit the Dades and Todra Gorges, the Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou and that of Ouarzazate.

Fantastic guide Barak who doesn't just tell you historical facts but makes you see things from a personal point of view, transporting you into the deepest part of the local culture. We traveled with two children and in that aspect too it was fantastic, sweet, friendly; they adored him immediately. The best! In just 3 days he stayed in our hearts! RELAXX
A very beautiful trip not only thanks to the places visited, the landscapes seen, the enchantment of the desert and its silences, the culinary delights tasted, but also thanks to the fantastic guide (Mohamad ait haddou) and the driver who accompanied us for many kilometers, in a Morocco rich in traditions and beauties that will always remain in our hearts!
I did the 2-night tour from Marrakech passing through the desert to Fes and it was wonderful, excellent organization, our driver Barak spoke Italian very well, he showed us beautiful places telling us a thousand curiosities about Berber and Moroccan traditions. I highly recommend the tour with this agency and especially the driver, a true professional.
Tiring, but unique! The guide Abdel speaks Italian very well and explained some things during the journey, and the driver Pdor was excellent even on the winding roads! Excellent Riad Gasbi! Less so the tented village, perhaps also due to the unfavorable weather conditions. Sandstorm for 2 hours of camel riding and light rain. They still tried to entertain us as best as they could! Too many tourist trap stops, and in my opinion, the gorges deserve more time! We did not do the quad experience due to the high cost, but the jeep ride back was incredibly fun!!
The tour was excellent, well organized, and both the guide and the driver were great. Both the hotel and the tent were fantastic. Recommended!
We relied on Hissam's agency for the tour in the Merzouga desert, which included very fascinating and unexpected intermediate stops, accompanied by excellent explanations from our guide, Mohamad Ait Haddou. Always available, kind, and attentive to his clients. Absolutely recommended and super reliable.
A unique and unforgettable experience. Beyond all expectations, especially thanks to our special guide Aithaddounohamad, who pampered and amazed us throughout the trip. To be repeated: Zaira, Giovanna, Mara, and Claudia
Mohamed and the driver were top-notch! A unique experience that must be done! Everything was well organized and timed perfectly!
Beautiful experience. Small group tour.
Morocco has truly enchanted us. We visited the vibrant streets that Marrakech led us through to Merzouga, and then pushed us to the desert dunes. Driving the van was Norddine, who was very friendly and sociable. The tour guide Mohamad ait haddou was very kind and knowledgeable, accompanying us through the authentic Moroccan neighborhoods to experience the true culture firsthand.
