Zagora Desert Tour 2 days 1 night from Marrakech

To see the desert at sunset and sunrise was a wonderful experience and totally worth the long drive from Marrakech. The journey was made in a comfortable people carrier and very safe. Samir, our guide, was excellent across the 2 days. Very friendly, interesting and professional. Once handed over for the camel rides and camp, we were looked after so well and found the camp beyond our expectations. The sand, silence, and stars were special but so was the welcome from everyone we encountered. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful guide, Abdul, always ready to help and to make sure we was having a great time. All of us enjoyed very much the activity. The people at the desert were also fantastic, Ali and the rest of the team. If we come back one , we will contact them again. Thank you for your hospitality .

We had a truly amazing time with our guide Chouayb. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the local culture and history, and the time in the car driving to and from the desert was a fantastic way to build a connection to the country and make a good friend along the way. He took great care of us, particularly on the drive when navigating traffic and some areas of icy roads. At the desert camp, we had a wonderful host Ali who was incredibly kind of heart. His warmth is a treasured memory that we will bring back home with us. The owner Rachid is very responsive and was a pleasure to work with. Our visit to Marrakech was truly made complete by doing this tour. We highly recommend.

I booked this trip for me and my family (5 adults) because a friend recommended it. And I have to admit it was worth it. Despite a long ride from Marrakesh to the dunes of Tinfou we enjoyed it and could gather a lot of insights in culture - historical and present. The visit of the UNESCO Site of Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah was one of several highlights as well as the camel ride - even that camel-guides were asking for tips - what is principally ok - it would be somehow good to be prepared because we left the most of our belongings in the car transporting our luggage to the camp. We had a fantastic meal. The musisians could coordinate themselves better but we had a lot of fun anyway dancing under the stars around a camp fire. Despite other descriptions we could sleep very well and had a wonderful breakfast. Also the tour back was amazing: The drâa valley and ist palmeries, insights of ceramic or argan oil production. It seems the the programm is individualised to the groups requirements. So five stars under the nightsky of millions of stars ...

We hired this company because lots of good comments and I am a little bit disappointed with it. I requested (and it was confirmed by email) an spanish speaker driver and driver was really good one and really friendly but he was not spanish speaker. Also the company told us that driver would meet us in the hotel and night before hotel got a call from the company saying that we should meet in the square and look for his car (we were provided target number). Trip to Tinfou camp from Marrakesh is long but Houcein (driver) made it fun and he was always willing to adapt to our needs and always very friendly and polite. I’ve been many times in Morocco and Houcein is the best driver ever because other times they were driving too fast and dangerously but this time driving was perfect. One we got to tinfou all went much worst. Place is nice (even if dunes are nothing to do with Merzouga obviously), but the guy with camels was asking us for tips and once we gave tip to him he didn’t want to put camels up for a picture so he left. Dinner was nice but breakfast very poor. The worst thing were tents. I have been several times on different desert camps in the world (Wadi Rum, Merzouga, Zagora, etc) and on luxury and non luxury tents with quite days and windy days but these tents were not ready to be sold for tourist. Plastic on the tent was hitting all night long the wood (that tent is made of) because the wind and it was impossible to sleep. We also asked other people in the camp and they could not sleep at all. I went out of the tents during the night several times and the wind was not that strong but noise inside the tent was horrible. We spent a horrible night and then we decided to leave the camp as soon as possible.

Our group of 6 (3 couples) booked a 2 day 1 night private tour with Discover Morocco Tours and it was the best part of our entire 18-day trip visiting 6 different countries in Europe (including an Eastern Mediterranean cruise). At first, I was skeptical to take this tour because of the distance (7 hour one-way drive to the camp base). But was I glad that I booked it. We were picked up at our riad in Marrekech promptly on the morning of the first day by our driver and Rachid. Rachid was more than a guide, he was our companion during this unforgettable journey. Our driver was very courteous and careful. We feft safe and comfortable with his driving on those winding, mountaineous roads. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit and relax on the mini bus. We visited all the places that was described in the tour. The UNESCO site of Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah was an eye opening. We had first hand encounter a Berber man who showed us his family home, how the people lived in the village with its glory history. I liked that private tour because we could stop along the way and had lunch when we want to without being rushed. It was totally customized for our needs. Rachid was very knowledgeable and funny. The camel ride was a highlight of the tour and the experience of staying in a middle of a desert under the moon and the stars was memorable. The sand dunes were not spetacular but because we were just on the border of the Sahara. One thing that set this tour above others was the way we were treated by Rachid. He was personable and genuinely caring about our needs/interests. He went above and beyond to make sure we don't get pressured and ripped off by the merchants. We had a pleasant surprise when he took us to the community that had a library that housed thousands of original quran and books that were written in Arabics. We met a young scholar there who took us around the migrant community. It was a rich cultural experience. We went back to Marrekech on day 2 evening with a feeling that this tour by far was the most intriguing and culturally satisfying. Thanks again Rachid for your hospitality. Highly recommended if you have only a few days and want to explore beyond the old Marrekech medina.

I was picked up in Marrakesh by Rachid, my guide, and a driver. Rachid was extremely knowledgeable, and in fact is from a Berber family in the Atlas Mountains area, so it was very much an insider's view. We left Marrakesh passing through the Tizi 'n Tichka pass and on to the town of Telouet and its kasbah, then to Ourzazate and the magnificent Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah. From there we went through Agdez and a number of Berber villages, before ending up at Tinfou, riding a camel through the dunes to the camp, where we had dinner and music around the fire, and under the spectacular stars. The next day we stopped in a number of towns and kasbahs including the especially beautiful Taourirt. This was a rich cultural experience as well as an exploration of history, architecture, food and more. So glad I did it!

A very good experience.The Enterprise very professional, punctual and the car very comfortable. Guide Chouayb made the excursion much better for his great treatment, explanations and attention to everything. Magnificent person! Highly recommended!

Reliable tour operator; all national guides. Our driver Mustapha was nice, relaxt, reliable and had good driving skills; we felt save and well taken care off. His English was poor. Great 2-day trip; The scenaries are beautiful. Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, an old city, is nice to see. The desert is small (roughly 1 or 2 km's length) and next to the main road, but nevertheless a true desert experience, riding a camel and sleeping in the desert. If you have more time I would recommend the big desert. The film studios are not much but fun to see. The expaining text is a but overdone; we didn't see multiple Berber villages; we drove through villages and visited one UNESCO location (Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah) Know that it's lots of driving. Bring water, it is not included (you can buy it on the road) Breakfast first day was not included Lunch was not included Ticket for the film studios was not included I don't understand why you should tip during an all inclusive tour, but some guides asked for a tip, some declined and one thought our tip was to little 😳 we obviousbly didn't get it ;)
