Highlighted reviews from other travelers
This activity is amazing! We highly recommend it! Our guides, Houssein and Ali, were super kind, helpful and knowledgeable. Everything went super smoothly and on time, and we did everything planned. They have everything organised, you don’t need to worry about anything, you can just enjoy the trip!
We had an amazing time on the 3-day Sahara Desert tour from Marrakech to Fes! Our guide Dozi was the heart of the trip—super positive, funny, and made sure everyone felt included. He really brought the group together and took care of everything. The accommodations were clean and comfy, even the desert camp! The camel ride was much longer than expected (about 40 minutes) and such a cool experience. This tour was definitely the highlight of our Morocco trip—highly recommended!
