Spectacular sunrise and sunset in the desert

Beautiful experience to see Sunrise and sunset in the desert. Fantastic driving (thanks Cheima). To do at least once in a lifetime.

Great cultural trip into the Sahara

Excellent trip through Morocco and into the Sahara. We were picked up early in the morning of the first day from a pick up point close to our Airbnb in central Marrakesh and travelled up through the mountains to our first few stops. In each spot you get a local guide or someone to explain the activity to you a there are also plenty of opportunities to buy souvenirs along the way. On the first day the only provided meal is dinner - lunch is an additional cost (and this is the case throughout). On the first night we stayed in a guest house with a private room with an en suite before setting off the second day for the desert. We also had breakfast before setting off. Again there are plenty of stops before getting to the dessert and travelling by camel to a camp in the Sahara. We were in the luxury camp with a private tent and room which was gorgeous. Again we got dinner and breakfast before setting off back on camels and making stops throughout the day before staying in the same guest house again. The last day was a travel day back to Marrakesh. Chaimae and Osama were excellent as guide and driver and helped us with communication as much as we needed throughout. I would advise to bring lots of cash - lunch is expensive and not included in the price of the tour. There is also a requirement to tip local guides, attendants in toilets and anyone else you work with. It’s also a good idea to bring snacks as you are in the van for chunks of the day. Overall really enjoyed it and would recommend.

Lovely trip to the desert

We made the trip with Chaimae as a guide and Oussama as our driver. Chaimae is lovely, although the tour was in English, she speaks Spanish too. She worries that we will see all the best and spend more time, so she is strict with the time of stops, but then is grateful in the places that are visited. I had already read about her in other comments and it has been lucky to have her on our tour. I recommend taking the quad bike in the dunes either to the way or back, it is very worth the experience.

A Truly Unforgettable Journey from Marrakech to Fez with Chaima! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Our trip from Marrakech to Fez was absolutely incredible, and we have our amazing guide Chaima and our driver Oussam to thank for that! From start to finish, everything was seamless, fun, and full of unforgettable moments. We spent our first night in a charming guest house surrounded by beautiful scenery and warm hospitality. On the second night, we rode camels about 45 minutes into the desert — an experience we’ll never forget! The desert camp was wonderful: toilets and showers, great food, a cozy campfire, and lively music under the stars. The star gazing was INCREDIBLE. Chaima made sure we were comfortable, safe, and well fed throughout the entire journey. She was lovely and quickly became a friend. We covered a lot of ground over two days, but Chaima’s energy, organization, and kindness made it all flow perfectly. 100% recommend this experience and Chaima as your guide — you’ll be in the best hands!

Don’t skip this trip!

Highly recommend this tour! We loved everything about it. First, our guide Chaima was amazing. She had such a fun energy and was so thoughtful and kind. I needed contact solution and she went out of her way to stop at several pharmacies to help me find some. The first night home stay was charming with great food and service. The highlight of the trip was the Sahara desert. It was freezing in November so be prepared for that! Can’t recommend this enough.

Amazing desert tour – totally recommend it! (especially our wonderful guide Shaima)

This trip was pure joy! So many things to see and experience – full of culture, local flavors, and breathtaking desert views. Every stop had something special, and the whole journey felt perfectly organized. Our guide Sheima was absolutely amazing – always smiling, full of knowledge and positive energy (almost perfect english), making everything fun and easy to understand. She really made the experience unforgettable! Also, big thanks to our driver Ousama, who was super kind, patient, and drove us safely everywhere. Highly recommended! 🌞🐫✨
