Need to understand you’re booking more of a transport than a guided tour. We hardly saw our guide unless he was driving (during which he was mostly on the phone). Be eyes wide open 6+ hours in the van each day which you know when booking. 19 person van with every seat filled, no air conditioning. Day 1: Minimal details on 7am pickup and who would be meeting you with no contact information of the guide. Views from the Atlas Mountains are impressive. The Ait Ben Hadou is mobbed with tourists, you walk around for almost 2 hours with the local guide so wear proper shoes. Lunch was 120Dr. Get to the hotel about 630pm. Dinner was a nice family style tagine. Day 2: Depart 8am after a lite hotel breakfast. Gorge Todra was beautiful and had a very helpful local guide. We got there early and had a lovely 2 hour walking tour. Lunch was a 110Dr buffet that was covered in flies. Afternoon stop was a tourist trap to buy clothes. Minimal instructions on the desert stay - 20 minute camel ride to the camp, you won’t see your bags or be able to check in the room until after sunset around 8pm. That was 4 hours with no guide or direction in the camp. Included sandboard was one board at the camp among 40 people. Dinner at 850pm was a nice buffet. Sounds like the luxury tent upgrade was well worth it for the bathroom/shower. Day 3: 530am breakfast for a 6am camel ride out. See the sun rise over the dunes. 7.5 hour drive to Fes with a handful of rest stops.
Must do trip!

We upgraded to luxury and we're very glad we did! We had a private driver in a pristine clean car for 3 days, he was very informed and helpful the whole way, it was a bucket list trip! The camp and hotels were amazing, the drive is very long but it's broken up by stops and tours, it is a bit touristy and you are expected to tip, however this didn't bother us too much .. as we are tourist! We would recommend this to anyone!
Best way to visit the Sahara

Excellent tour! A lot of driving, but so worth it to experience rural Morocco, local culture, and amazing scenery. Highlights include Ait Ben Haddou, Merouga desert, and a walk around a rural town with a local guide who showed us the farm land and taught us about his local society. I went solo and had a blast! I highly recommend the tour as a way of getting from Marrakesh to Fez. Our driver and guide Imad was excellent. His English was perfect and he was always in good spirits!
