Private Marrakech Desert tour to Fes

Ahmed is a remarkable human. He answered a pepper spray of questions with grace, gratitude and ease. My giggles going on the camel were enhanced with Ahmed’s smile of encouragement.

We spent 8 great days with Ahmed and Mohammed (driver). We started out in Marrakech and ended in Fes. We especially loved Fes and the 2 nights we spent at the Sahara camp. My teenage son laughed the entire ride into the camp on the dromedary (African camels). The tents and bathrooms were better than UnderCanvas. Ahmed did a great job of adjusting to the needs of our family and balancing our time as just a family versus in “tour” mode.

I booked ​this Private Marrakech Desert tour ending in Fes, and overall it was a memorable journey. The van was very comfortable and new — actually fancier than many other touring vans I saw on the road. Our guide, Ismail, and the driver, Moha Pro Max, were excellent. They not only created a great vibe in the van but also patiently answered all our questions and helped resolve any issues during the tour. The Merzouga desert is absolutely 100% worth it. The tent experience is incomparable, and stargazing in the quiet desert was simply magical. I travelled in winter and did some research beforehand — electricity in the desert is limited, there is no heating system, and you can only bring compact luggage to the camp. If you're travelling in winter, definitely bring warm clothes. I booked a luxury tent with a private bathroom, which was very convenient — especially in winter — since you don’t have to go outside for the bathroom or shower. Riding an ATV at sunrise was another highlight. It costs extra, but I highly recommend it. It was such a fun and unforgettable experience — I truly loved it. If I had to mention something I enjoyed less, it would be that some stops on the itinerary still felt a bit product-focused. They don’t hassle you, but there is a subtle sense of pressure when you choose not to purchase anything. Personally, I would have appreciated more cultural depth — moments where you can genuinely feel people want to share their culture and sincerely connect with travelers. Overall, I would recommend this company to future travelers — just keep in mind a few of the tips I learned from this experience.

It was a great pleasure travellings with Ahmad. His knowledge about culture, tradition, everything and anything fullfilling our wishes made our 3-day trip from Marrakech to Fez extraordinary experience. Beautiful trip to remmember and recommend. Berber guesthouse feast, comfort food and kindness of hoast, simply feels like home. Bravo Ahmad, for all selections on this trip. Thaaanks!

Ahmad was very professional, entertaining, helpful and cheerful. We felt protected and cared for. The whole trip was carefully planned and customized based on our wishes.

A once-in-a-lifetime trip to Morocco for a mother and daughter from Japan. We chose a private tour because we wanted to enjoy sightseeing at our own pace. Before the tour started, we told our guide Ahmad that we like shopping and photography, and he took that into consideration when we stopped at various places. We were really grateful to be able to travel safely for three days from Marrakech to Fez. Thanks to our guide Ahmad, who loves the Sahara, it was an unforgettable and worthwhile trip. We would like to recommend this tour to Japanese people traveling.

We want to evaluate this tour with more than 5 stars. Thanks to the guide/driver, we enjoyed the tour and realized the great value of the private tour. About the tour contents, we were able to go to spectacular locations that are only known to local guides, that are not listed in our country Japanese guidebooks, and that can't be accessed on individual tours. In the Sahara, we enjoyed luxury camps for two days. A day stay there is too short to enjoy enough, so it was a good decision to have a 2-day stay. About the guide/driver, he has great experience, high language skills, hospitality, consideration, and kindness. He made a lot of effort to make our tour great and comfortable not only during the tour but also before it, like replied quickly, attentively selected our tour contents and allocated time for the itinerary, selected hygienic toilets, gave us advice on safety, not interfered with our private life, helped us, and adjusted the music and its volume while driving according to the situation. This tour was more than just a tour, and it was a wonderful and heartwarming memory for us. We’ll definitely ask him for a tour when we go to Morocco again, and recommend this tour!

I had very enjoyable time in the Sahara desert, eating delicious foods, riding on the camel, riding on the ATV 4WD. I really appreciate all the tour guides and participants! Also many thanks to the driver Abis! It was comfortable drive to Fes and had wonderful time in the sight-seeing places during the way to Fes! Hideaki A.

We did the Guided Desert Tour from Marrakech to Fes in September. Both the communication beforehand and during the tour was excellent. Ahmend took great care of us and was always available and tried to give us the best travel experience. Our driver Mohammed was very nice and attentive. Through him we were able to gain an insight into Moroccan culture. His driving style was very good and our wishes were well taken into account. Mohammed always made it a point to find the best rest stops for a toilet break. The selection of overnight accommodation was very good and we always felt comfortable. The restaurant selection for lunch was mostly very touristy but still OK. During the trip we made many stops and were also able to make individual stops. We were always flexible in terms of how long we wanted to stay at each stop. All in all, I can only recommend this tour and the entire organization!

Our tour guide and driver, Nouradin picked us up early and on time from our Riad. He is very knowledgeable of the region and does not push any sales of item etc (which we experienced on other tours from other providers). This trip / itinerary is very common in Morocco, almost all tour providers do them and I’m glad we went with Nouradin - it’s a must go if you’re in Morocco. The only drawback is probably the lunch places which are all stops for tour groups (big and small) to stop at. It’s a shame as I’d be happy to pay more to eat at local restaurants and have local food (as opposed to your standard menus of skewers and pasta). Do ask for AC to be turned on as Moroccans don’t seem to have it on very much and it can be sweltering hot and incredibly dusty (when you have been behind a truck for the last couple of miles).
