The most insightfull and beautiful adventure. This tour was the highlight of our trip to Morroco. The trip there although long was easy fpr us thanks to our amazing driver Najim. In the desert is like you really feel what's important in life as tome stands still. People are very kind and love to tell stories about the place and the life in the biggest hot desert.
It was a beautiful experience, the beautiful scenery, the walk on the camel , the night in the camp in the desert were unforgettable. However we were disappointed by the support. In the description we were told about a professional guide and this was not the case. One sentence per stop and that was the maximum. For a trip from 8am to 6pm we waited for a minimum of explanations and information. We got zero. In this case it will be better to write that it is simple transfer and not an experience. The attendant himself said that he is not a guide at all and he is there to accompany the driver. This is not at all what was sold to us on the site. Too bad.
Merci pour votre retour. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié les paysages, la promenade à dos de chameau et la nuit dans le désert. Nous tenons à préciser que, sur le programme, le terme « guide » fait référence au chauffeur et non à un guide local accompagnant le groupe. Le rôle du chauffeur est d’assurer le bon déroulement et la sécurité du voyage, mais il n’est pas un guide professionnel. Nous apprécions votre commentaire et veillerons à clarifier cette distinction pour les futurs voyageurs. Nous espérons que l’expérience dans le désert restera un souvenir mémorable de votre voyage.
We stayed 2 days/1 night from Fez to the Merzouga Desert with a return to Fez. The experience is absolutely magical. The trip is long (8h one way) but the breaks and dynamics of the group made it much more animated and short. The minibus is comfortable, with USB plugs and good seats to make the road. Aziz is a very good driver, careful, careful and friendly. Mustapha is very good advice, honest and friendly. Having them with us during the trip made it all the more pleasant. We were very well surrounded, guided and accompanied, we did not feel lost or in danger at one moment. The camel ride in the desert is out of time, we had a very attentive guide, anxious that we take full advantage of our experience. Once arrived on site, comfortable tents await you as well as a beautiful camp with attentive staff on site. The evening meal was hearty and good and the show around the fire very exotic, we even had the opportunity to play Tam Tam (which is harder than it looks!) Small downside for the organization the next day with sandboards where the progress of the activity was not precise enough to our taste. But otherwise, extremely satisfied with the experience, which is unforgettable and to do at least once in a lifetime! I recommend without hesitation and with my eyes closed this activity in the company of Mustapha, Aziz and Aomar (who was only there on the return)
Merci pour votre retour détaillé et chaleureux ! Nous sommes ravis que votre expérience de 2 jours et 1 nuit jusqu’au désert de Merzouga ait été magique et à la hauteur de vos attentes. Le trajet est effectivement long, mais nous sommes heureux de savoir que l’ambiance du groupe, le confort du minibus et l’accompagnement d’Aziz, Mustapha et Aomar ont rendu le voyage agréable. Encore merci pour votre confiance et votre recommandation ! Nous espérons vous revoir pour une autre belle aventure!
A very nice experience, Omar and Musta are very friendly and prepared guides, they speak multiple languages and made us feel comfortable for the whole long journey. Aziz is an awesome driver, his driving style is smooth and the long mountainous drive passed flawlessly. The dunes look amazing, the camping is well equipped, clean and the food is good.
This was a great tour! We were slightly unsure if we'd actually get picked up at our Riad (or nearby) the morning of, but we heard from them the night before via WhatsApp and felt good about the pickup plan. Went to the chosen location in the morning and immediately met Mustafa, who was a great driver and pseudo-guide for both days of our trip. The drive isn't too bad, especially since we did the Private Tour so we had the car to ourselves. We weren't very interested in most of the stops along the way because we thought it'd be better to get to the desert sooner. However, the camel ride was only scheduled for 6:30pm and they take you to your campsite, so there's no point in actually rushing to get there earlier. Therefore, enjoy the stops along the way, have a leisurely lunch, etc. The camel ride was great - you walk onto the dunes and stop to watch the sun set - and the service at the kasbah was top tier. Only thing was that dinner was really late, but it was delicious, and the campfire and songs were fun. Downside is definitely that there isn't A/C in the tents - it was really difficult to sleep. We didn't realize there isn't any A/C until it was too late, so we suffered in the heat for the night. We were also told to meet in the morning to watch the sunrise with a guide, but when we woke up for that there was no guide to take us out into the desert. We ended up just going out on our own to try to see it, though there is so much sand along the horizon that there isn't too much of a sunrise view. The drive from the desert to Marrakech is incredibly windy through the Atlas Mountains and drivers take the turns at a high speed, so we were particularly happy we got the Private Tour so we could lay down and sleep through the drive (and also catch up on sleep after the early morning). All in all, it was such a unique and fun experience, and we would certainly recommend it as long as you're game for a little adventure!
Magnificent trip with the 3T company, the camp was superb, the walks too, and the guide Hassan was top notch and made our trip even better.
C'est fantastique d'entendre cela ! Merci beaucoup pour votre retour positif sur votre voyage avec la compagnie 3T. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié le campement, les balades et surtout le guide Hassan, qui a contribué à rendre votre voyage encore plus beau.
We stayed in Fez in a wonderful Riad/Dar fes Tresor is perfect, nice, clean, good food and the people working there are so wondeful. We made an Excursion around Fez with a tour guide and the next day from fez to the desert os Merouga, everything was organized by Souka and Hassan was the driver. The organization was perfect, i recomend this Ríad and also all the kindess and recomendations of Souka who tried all the time making everything perfecet and she got it. The driver Hassan- also very kind

It's great to know that Souka and Hassan provided excellent service and made your experience memorable. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you again soon!
This journey across Morocco from Fes to the desert includes stunning landscapes, learning about local culture, surprises like feeding monkeys and riding dromaderies in the desert. The team was very kind and amenable, the bivouack tents comfortable (although bare in mind, because they include plumbing, they are located at the cusp of the desert, not quite in it), and Hassan is a gracious and friendly guide + driver. Thank you for the experience!
Thank you for sharing your journey from Fes to the desert. We're thrilled you enjoyed the landscapes, cultural insights, and unique experiences along the way.

One of the most beautiful trips I have had in my already long life. Halyard is a Driver and a remarkable guide. The night spent in Merzouga under the tent, the camel ride and the sunset over the dunes are all unforgettable memories Thank you Driss
