Great 7 Day trip from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi : Morocco Desert in a bottle This tour had a little bit of everything in Morroco; both attractive destinations and unique local experiences. This combined spectacular scenes of the Dadés Valley and Todra Gorges as well as random hikes onward the road trip. The camel trek to our camping site in the Sahara desert was also a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Ali was our driver and made us feel safe/secure whilst having the flexibility to allow us to explore. We had many questions since this was our first time in Africa. He responded to all of our questions and was very polite.
Well-organized, fun tour! Our group of 5 had a wonderful, comfortable 7-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga and back. From the time our driver/guide, Mohamed, picked us up, to the final day, everything was seamless, and well-organized, and interesting. Mohamed responded to all of our many questions and was willing to stop whenever we saw something attractive we needed to explore, we finished up going for some extra walks, watching a local soccer game, and seeing many views! The accommodations were all beautiful, the food was good, and the camel ride into the Merzouga dunes was exceptional. Definitely recommend!
Great desert and city experience with Omar and Ibrahim (our tour guide and driver) My GF and I enjoyed every second of Omar and Ibrahim's well-mannered and professional company in our Morocco desert tour. Their SUV was clean and comfortable, and we definitely loved the music played along the trip. No delays or accidents, the whole tour was relaxing and safe. In addition, Omar speaks fluent English and has tons of local knowledge while Ibrahim always puts on a big smile.
