Sand, Stars & Camels: 3-Day Marrakech to Merzouga Desert Safari

We had a wonderful trip to the Sahara desert with lots of beautiful lookout stops along the way. Our driver Laarbi was really helpful and informative. He was a great driver and we really enjoyed the entire experience. I would recommend to bring some extra small change for tips for the guides along the way as it is expected for some. Also be mindful that you may not receive much communication prior to leaving on the experience so don’t stress or expect to receive a detailed itinerary. Overall it was great fun and an amazing experience.

Wonderful experience. Our driver/guide, Houcine was fun, outgoing and helpful. First Day we headed down to Ben Haddou. Hot but worth the hike up there First Day Hotel was above our expectations at Tinghir. Food was good. Room was clean. Second day we headed out to Todhra Gorges. And a trip down to the Berber village. It was a nice and knowledgeable visit. And then we finally headed down to the Sahara Desert. Camel riding was smooth. The luxury hotels at the camp was also above put expectations. It had its private bathroom and the room was clean. Houcine even stopped over in between the rides to show us fossils.

We had a really nice time in the desert, it was very impressive! We have seen and experienced a great deal in the Sahara and in the Atlas Mountains. This tour will be remembered me for a long time! The guides and our driver Eddih Hicham were very friendly and courteous with jokes.

We loved the tour. Especially the destinations Ait Ben Haddou and the desert safari with the camels were really top. The sunset and starry skies in the desert camp were a highlight. I can only recommend our tour operator Marrakech Travel, as everything had been perfectly organized. Our bus driver Aziz was terrifically good. He was always calm and forward-looking. 5 stars for Aziz the bus driver. We would do the trip again with the same organizer.

Excellent stay in Merzouga The camel ride and the sunset/sunrise were extraordinary. Mustapha the driver, always attentive to the needs of passengers. The camp staff was smiling and very welcoming.

I went on this excursion with my friend. And it was 100% the highlight of our trip to Morocco. We are from England and were welcomed by our driver picking us up at our hotel. The minivan was shared between 8 of us. We made great friends with Polish and Canadians. In July the weather in the desert was very warm so be prepared for that. They recommend you wear pants but I wore shorts on the camel ride and this was fine. All aspects of the tour were completely memorable. And would recommend this trip to those who are very mobile. The tours were amazing the crew were amazing. I would definitely recommend this for everyone. The majority of people on our trip were aged between 20-30 but there were members much much older too. If you have any questions feel free to message me!

Me and my family went to the desert and everything was perfect, we specially enjoyed the dunes at Merzouga,the camel ride and the beauty of the landscapes on the road.the minibus was clean and the driver has driven carefully. Sure we will be happy to come back there !

This 3 days tour was super interesting and the night spent in the desert is some kind of magic. The driver was very patient and really friendly, always available to satisfy our exigences or to take a picture when asked :). However the trip is really too long and exhausting. This is not the fault of the agency but about the conditions of streets, above all the 100 km in Atlas Mountain were only curves and i felt very bad after. Nonetheless to spend the night in the desert was amazing (and chilly) since we were able to see the milky way: breathless. Jamali, the driver during the way explained us whatever we were passing by, he was really great! Maybe i would suggest the company to cut at least on visit (for example the one in the farm of berber), since there is still a lot to see in the days. On the whole was really nice :)
