I recently had the pleasure of joining a tour to the Merzouga Desert organized by this fantastic travel agency, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, well-organized, and truly unforgettable.
My girlfriend and I enjoyed this desert tour. Everything was great. The driver was nice as well as the guides. We really recommend it.
My recent 3-day desert tour with Marrakech Share Group Tours from Marrakech to Merzouga was exceptional. Abdul, our driver, was incredible: knowledgeable, multilingual, and incredibly accommodating. As a Moroccan-American reconnecting with my roots, the trip was deeply meaningful. The Moroccan hospitality, from the guides to the hotel staff, was heartwarming. Our tour group, a melting pot of cultures, made the trip even more enjoyable. A quick look back at the desert camp: I wish I had more time to enjoy the night and not be ready to eat breakfast at 5am. Also, the staff member explaining the camp setup could have been more polite. Overall, this tour was a highlight of my visit to Morocco. I can see myself doing this again with friends next year and will definitely book more tours with Marrakech Shared Group Tours, hoping to see some of the staff again. Highly recommended for an immersive and memorable experience!
We had so much fun on this tour our guide, Rachid was very funny and nice to talk to. He drove us all the day to the desert and made sure we stopped in very beautiful panoramic views. The hostel in Dades was nice, good food and simple room. The Desert was the highlight of this tour as our group decided to stay late to see the stars at night. We danced and played music until midnight. I have to say the tent was very simple. The food was not the best we had in Morocco but we enjoyed the landscape. I highly recommend thus tour. Everything was as described. We'll done ✔️
The tour was extraordinary, and our driver, Houssien, was exceptionally welcoming. He not only pointed out the best spots along the way for breath-taking views but also made us feel truly at ease throughout the journey. The guides also did an excellent job taking us to fascinating places where we not only immersed ourselves in the local culture but also had the chance to engage with the local community. We loved the camel ride in the dunes and the dancing around the fire was too much fun. Overall, the logistics and the entire tour are well worth it, as every place we visited had a touch of magic. I highly recommend this tour.
