Great tour! Lots of impressions, lots of sights and a great camp in the desert! The journey with many breaks and visits is varied! The camel riding is fun! The accommodation in the camp and the food are top! We had a very cozy evening with the team and all the other guests.

We booked the 2 day private trip to Zagora through Clickexcursions. We had a really fantastic guide, Tariq. His english is fluent, without mistakes and very understandable. The car was in impeccable condition, clean and very comfortable. Tariq did his utmost to make the trip a wonderful and unforgetable experience. He showed us beautiful spots to take pictures and stopped where ever we wanted to take even more pictures. He was open and easy to talk to, he told us a lot about Moroccan culture, traditions, and daily life which we found so interesting. The excursion was truly spectacular and one of the highlights of our trip. The landscapes were breathtaking and so divers, from snow on the mountains, where it was chilly and misty, to barren red-coloured mountains, green oasis filled with palm trees and green hills to the desert, where it was warm and sunny. We saw small berber villages, rivers, waterfalls, we rode a camel, we saw a beautiful sunset and got up early to enjoy the sunrise. We enjoyed a nice dinner and then traditional music and dance around the fire and we slept in a traditional berber tent. Seeing the sky filled with stars was magical and something we will never forget. A truly excellent unique adventure this two-day desert trip is absolutely unforgettable. Highly recommended!

We combined an overnight desert safari in Zagora with a 2 day highlights tour from Marrakech. Our tour guide Abdelhak Hadek is a wonderful human being. Kind, generous, knowledgeable and so patient with our family of 7. He is also skilled driver navigating the Atlas Mountains in wet and snowy weather. I highly recommend him. Thanks Abdelhak x
Thank you very much for your kind review! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the overnight desert safari in Zagora and the 2-day highlights tour.
A beautiful discovery, beautiful landscapes (Aït Ben Hadou, Ouarzazate), 1 perfect dinner and breakfast (thank you Abdallah and Mohamed!), evening by the fire and 1 night in the pleasant desert, in all simplicity. A little rudimentary certainly but this is what makes all the charm, with sunset and sunrise, starry night, not to mention the walk in the small dunes on the back of camels. A little extra for Hamza our driver who was very professional and with whom we had a great time.
Merci beaucoup pour votre superbe retour ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié cette belle découverte des paysages d’Aït Ben Haddou et Ouarzazate, le dîner et le petit-déjeuner avec Abdallah et Mohamed, ainsi que la soirée et la nuit dans le désert. Hamza sera très heureux de savoir que son professionnalisme a rendu votre expérience encore plus agréable. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau avec Click Excursions !
We spent two wonderful days towards the desert of Zagora. Between visiting the Telouet casbah, Ksar Aït Ben Haddou, we discovered authentic sites with effective recommended guides. The night in the desert was surprising. The return, including a guided tour of the Tamegrout casbah where we discovered and bought, of course, beautiful Berber ceramics and a visit to the Ouerzazate film studios. The view of the Tizi-n-Tichka road was breathtaking. All this was possible thanks to the support, kindness, good advice and linguistic talents of our driver Nour. We didn't see the miles go by. Thank you very much for these moments of exchange that we will never forget. Everything was perfect for this first visit to Morocco. 🙏😊

A top excursion with our guide Imad Jamzaoui who was attentive and considerate throughout our 2 day excursion. I recommend this experience with visits to local craftsmen, delicious meals, camel ride, visit to the kasbah ... Imad adapted each time to our family, a real guardian angel 😀.
Merci beaucoup pour ce joli témoignage ! Imad est en effet un guide exceptionnel, et nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé deux jours mémorables entre découvertes, gastronomie et aventure. Votre recommandation nous touche beaucoup. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau ! Bien cordialement, Azeddine Rahou
Good experience. Many thanks to our driver and guide Soufian. He took us a little off the beaten track to discover beautiful landscapes. We spent 2 days by his side it was to the little care for us, a real pleasure. We recommend it!
