Our one-night excursion was quick but beautiful! There was a full moon over the dunes and magnificent colors in the sky. The tour guides and driver were all friendly and efficient. We definitely recommend going out to the desert! Budget for food on the route, as the tourist restaurants have inflated prices

Our guide Tarik was very kind and attentive in all the details. The camping Desert has a nice rooms but very hot inside for summer. The staff has to be more friendly. The hotel in Ourzazate was great with a fresh swimming pool well need after a long journey in the desert. Well organised stopped for photos and interesting shops during all trip. Highly recommend!!
We were not lost with the guide thanks to is patience and his listening. The camp in Merzouga were amazing
Amazing expérience in the desert !
Our driver Tarik was an excellent driver and a guide. He made the whole trip exceptional
it was a so great experience.everybody should do this tour and activity.
Amazing, 100% recommended desert excursion Great guide Tarik, thanks a lot
I recommend this tour to everyone: what an unforgettable experience! Tarik is a fantastic guide and a great driver. Despite the long drive from Fes, everything was perfectly arranged, and Tarik made the trip enjoyable and comfortable. 100% worth it
I had an amazing time. Mouha and Karrim are one of the most fun tour guides. They made my trip 100x more fun, and they were amazing with accommodating everyone on the trip.
Pick up was well organised, driver came on time. Nice drive and cool experience
Younes kerroumi was very good driver and agency el ouarti and camp el pyramid was excellent they made our experience Even better , dessert , camels , dance . Me and my Friends are very Happy. The trip takes several hours to arrive but It pass fast and the desert reward IS unique!!!!!
The travel was really good and the driver El yousfi Aziz was really charming and helpful. We strongly recommend this experience.
We had the pleasure of traveling from Fez to Marrakech with Iman14, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better guide. From the very beginning, he was professional, attentive, warm, and welcoming. But what made the experience truly unforgettable wasn’t just his competence it was his kindness, humor, and the genuine way he made us feel at ease, like we were traveling with a friend (And yes — he also left us with amazing photos to remember every moment!)
Had a great time! The staff were very professional and friendly, and our driver Imad was the best, super skilled and made the whole experience even better. It’s great for families and accessible to everyone. Definitely recommend!
We had an amazing experience with Iman14 as our driver and guide from Fez to the Sahara Desert (Merzouga). He was always attentive, kind, and made sure everything went smoothly—even while we were doing separate activities. Everything was perfect thanks to his professionalism and warm attitude. Highly recommended!
Today we had a lovely day with Imad14. He took us for a 2day trip to the Merzouga desert. It was a long ride but Imad made sure we had enough interesting stops. The experience in the desert was super! We had a quad ride, did some sandboarding and had a ride on the camels. The berber people prepared us a good mail and breakfast. Thanks Imad, it was great!!
Under the excellent guidance and driving of Imad14 we had an fantastic experience on our way and in the Merzouga desert. The ride is long but Imad14 made it interesting all the time. The various stops were well chosen. The desert was something new for us and it surely surprised us in the best way possible. The quadride, sandboarding, camelride and the stay in the tents was great. The Berberpeople made us a delicious meal and played the drums into the night. We recommend this journey to everyone! And a special thanks to Imad14, for sharing his knowledge and his kindness to make our expectations come true.
Aziz was an amazing driver and made many accommodations for us (e.g. I needed to use the bathroom and get water on 2 separate occassions and he found the best and cheapest spots for me to do so!) He is also very kind and an extremely good driver. We went from Marrakech to Merzouga being driven by Khalid and Aziz took us from Merzouga to Fes. It was a wonderful ride and we did all the things in the itinerary. But the best part was that he took us to the best restaurant for lunch! All of the other tour groups complained that the Lunch stops from Merzouga to Fes were very bad, but our tour group really enjoyed our stop at Khasbah Dounia. Most enjoyable food I had during my whole stay in Morocco and was only 120 dirham (~£12) for as much as I could eat! If you book through Marrakech Desert Tours, then try ask them to give you Aziz or Khalid as your drivers as Khalid was very informative and Aziz was very accommodating. Don't pay €120 for the Quad Bikes as we found much cheaper ones on GetYourGuide (granted they were not in the desert), but defo try upgrade both your Hotel and Desert Tent stay (€35 each). The people who stayed at the standard hotel said it was not good at all, but we only upgraded to the Medium Private Hotel (Dar Essalama) and it was AMAZING! Shower was perfect, food was delicious (dinner and breakfast were delicious and filled us up so well). Aziz was amazing and I would without a doubt book through Marrakech Desert Tours again (they have one of the cheapest offerings with late notice and with upgrades - we spent around £210 per person - but there were additional things through the 3 day tour that we brought from street vendors etc). Thank you! Reply to my review if you have Questions - me and my partner really enjoyed it but will definitely highlight both the good and the bad.
Thanks for a great trip. Driver. Great person, thanks for the great information. Learned a lot about your country. Thank you very much! Nauris
The experience was perfect, it was a long trip from Fez but the driver Imad14 was amazing, he made us stop in different places before arrived to the Sahara. Experience amazing and super driver!! Believe me it does make the difference when u need to do 10hrs of trip! Thanks Imad14
It was really a great experience with Mohamed visiting the medina of Fes. Very recommend. Get the desert tour arranged by him as well. Also, would like to thank our driver to the desert of Merzouga, Tarek. Thank you guys so much!
We had a great experience in Merzouga and our way to the desert from Fes, thanks to our driver Aziz and our tour guide Tarik who is so kind, he talked about their culture and a lot of interesting things regarding the locations.
The trip was amazing! We started with a good marrocain breakfast at the meeting point from where we were starting the adventure. Our guide and driver Tarik was so friendly and fluent in English. He explaind a lot about the culture and the regions we passed by. The variety of the landscapes you drive through is so inspiring. And there were several stops and time to accomodate. The cherry🍒 on the cake was of course the desert. It was overwhelmingly beautiful! At night time there was some nice local music at the camp fire and we even played some drums our selfves. Thank you Tarik for the great time and nice talks. Highly recommended! Esther NL🇳🇱
What a unique experience. Our guide, Mohammad was amazing. He was kind, respectful, helpful and had a great sense of humour. We were pleasantly surprised with the camping facilities. We enjoyed the music and the friendliness of the staff.
The views of the desert are amaizing. The transfer was great! We are very happy with the agency. They have the perfect solution for everything. They were very nice, kind and helpful. Highly recommend!!!
Tarik number 1 in every way
Our guide, Tarik, was truly super
Wonderful two-day trip to the desert in the company of Tarik. Thank you and bravo to him for his expertise and his very special kindness toward our children. Regarding the journey, punctuated by several stops and visits, we appreciated these breaks. As for the desert… wow! Pleasantly surprised by the camp and its very comfortable tents. The camel ride was pleasant and met our expectations. We recommend this family outing!
The experience with Tarik was incredible. We could not have had a better driver and companion. His knowledge of the area and the people makes the trip even better. We loved the stay at the camp in Merzouga and we were able to experience it in several ways because it rained on us in the morning, but that only enriched the enjoyment even more. As a suggestion for improvement, I would say that a little more variety at dinner and breakfast would be appreciated. We will definitely repeat and look for Tarik.
Everything as scheduled, the guide Tarik was very good, kind and friendly!
Highly recommended excursion. Very good experience in the desert. I loved seeing the landscape, stepping on the dunes... Our guide Tarik, very attentive, knowledgeable about his country, history, and customs. Attentive to the needs of all the members of the group. The only thing I didn't like was that they tried to sell us a quad excursion outside of the price already paid.
2-day excursion with Tarik, our guide. A person who deserves to be known. Tarik is very welcoming, very attentive to his travelers. He knows the history of his country, including the economy, religion, politics... He has an answer to all our questions. He masters foreign languages perfectly (French and Spanish for our group). He is a great driver behind the wheel of his Renault Trafic 😅. He should sign up for car rallies! We discovered his singing talents 😂 and we joined him in his moments of fun 😂😂😂. We recommend him without hesitation. It was a first time in Morocco for us and we are going to leave with a lot of knowledge, magnificent photos, and stars in our eyes! Another big thank you to Tarik, keep it up, this job suits you well. You have the art and the way of sharing your love for your country. PS: happy birthday to your little girl (8 years old)
The stay in the desert was very interesting
Excellent experience! Tarik was a fantastic person who highlighted the beauties of his country. Precise and attentive. Thanks to him, we are leaving a piece of our heart in Morocco.
Everything was wonderful and the guide was very kind and functional since he explained the entire landscape and its history, he was a very fun guy and easy to talk to, especially because of his high language proficiency since he knew how to speak fluently in all the languages we needed
It has been an incredible experience and Imad (our driver) was a delight. The luxury haima is totally recommended, thanks to the fact that we had air conditioning we were able to rest.
An experience to live. Our trip was an extraordinary experience from beginning to end, and much of the credit goes precisely to Tarik, who doesn't just show you the places, he literally makes you experience the country. His energy is contagious: incredibly exciting, always with a smile, ready to transmit his deep passion for Moroccan traditions, history, and culture.
A truly wonderful experience, made so by our guide Tarik who, in addition to speaking Italian very well, accompanied and assisted us with every need; the dinners are all very local and characteristic, and the lunches, which are excluded, are also quite affordable; a wonderful tour to discover fantastic places, I highly recommend it to everyone.
Tarik was our guide. He was funny, available, and energetic. We did all our activities and tours in good spirits and with the joy of discovery.
Truly incredible, super friendly guide! Magnificent landscapes Impeccable atmosphere with the other travelers!! I recommend it, crazy experience
The tour with Otmane was spectacular, we had a great time and he is a wonderful driver. Without a doubt, I would travel with him again. I recommend it 100%
Imade14 is an exceptional driver.
One of the best experiences, the guide was the highlight of the excursion, Tarik is amazing, I recommend him 100%, the desert is worth it.
Everything was super great, and our guide Tarik is an exceptional person, charismatic, very punctual, and helpful. Without a doubt, I will repeat it.
Without a doubt, we have had an excellent trip. Tarik is a super wonderful driver who adapts to any environment; he is kind, and we had a trip to the desert with 6 girls, and it was marvelous; without a doubt, we will do it again.
Our guide TARIC was excellent; he made the trip super entertaining both for the places he took us and for the interesting facts he shared about his customs and his country. We highly recommend it.
Super welcome from Imad 14 who was our driver throughout the stay , the scenery is so beautiful that the road does not seem so long , the bus is comfortable and the stops frequent . We go from snow to sand dunes in a few hours it’s incredible! Super comfort in tents! And the quad is awesome!
Extraordinary to do absolutely
Strong point! The driver for the whole road very well listening very pleasant very nice sa will remain my highlight of the trip ( haîhmed )
The desert tour from Fez to Marrakech is a unique experience and offers breathtaking insights into the nature and culture of Morocco! They are long car journeys, but Tarik makes them an unforgettable experience – thank you!
