3 Days 2 nights trip starting from Fez ending in Marrakech via Sahara Desert (Merzouga)

This was a wonderful experience. Our driver, Yusuf, was very informative and tailored the trip to our needs. The desert camel driver was hilarious even though he spoke very little english and the staff at the camp made us feel very comfortable. They played music for us the night we stayed there and it was so much fun. The only reason I could not give 5 stars is because of how long the 2nd and 3rd day of the trip is. You stay at another hotel (which was also nice and comfortable) but I wish we stayed at the dessert for the 2 nights and then drove to Marrakesh. There were many, many stops to look at, various monuments, tourist sights and overlooks and by the 3rd day we were exhausted. The food in the desert also made us all sick, likely due to the fresh salad which in hindsight we should not have eaten as it is the desert and I'm not quite sure how potable the water is there. Despite this, overall the trip was great.

I travel a lot for work and pleasure. I rarely take tours and employ guides. In this case, I couldn’t be happier that I did. We traveled to all the major cities in Morocco and spent three days with Sahara Desert Tours going from Fez to Marrakech via a night in the Sahara Desert and one in the Atlas Mountains. This journey was by far the best experience we had while in Morocco. Every aspect of this journey was excellent from pick up and drop off to desert accommodations, food, coffee and companionship with the staff. The highlight of all the highlights was our guide Ibrahim. I’m fairly sure he is why this experience was so excellent. He is a true ambassador for Morocco and the Berber people as well as a steady driver and friendly companion. He has a zest for life, love of country, and concern for his clients that makes your time w him truly unique and special. If you come to Morocco, I highly recommend leaving the cities and seeing the unique and lovely countryside. Morocco countryside is stunning, beautiful and unique. It is well worth the time and effort. Should you take my advice, then I can not recommend Sahara Desert Tours more highly. I’m deeply grateful for the experience they offered us and their warm, gracious hospitality.

Our tour was a total of 6, all from America. The driver Mustafa was super friendly and courteous with great driving. He drove tirelessly with extreme caution and made the journey from Fes to Merzouga/Sahara Desert through the middle atlas to Tinghir and to Marrakech through the high atlas comfortable and pleasant. The driver was patient and attentive and gave great advice upon arriving in Marrakech. Our experience at the desert with the camel ride was a memorable one! I would recommend this tour company and the driver.
