This desert safari is perfect for those who want to discover the deep Morocco Sahara desert and don’t mind long hours driving. The tour is rich in scenery; you will never be bored as you will be busy admiring one scene after another. The dramatic landscape change is amazing. From the fertile Haouz plains around Marrakech, to the High Atlas Mountains, then to various valleys and oases. At the end, rocky plateaus followed by the breath taking Erg Chebbisand dunes. The highlight of our Marrakech to Merzouga 3-day tour is your sunset camel ride and the overnight sleep under the stars at your Bedouin Sahara desert camp. Next day drive to Marrakech directly

5.00This was an amazing experience. Would highly recommend. It was the highlight of our trip to Marrakech. The whole trip was completely stress free and we were looked after from start to finish. Our driver Mohamed was amazing. He drove us safely to the dessert and was kind and informative. Providing many stops along the way and helping people who needed atms & pharmacy’s. Every guide that we met along this trip was amazing, especially our guide at Tinghir. The luxury desert stay was amazing. We loved this trip. It was amazing cultural experience and the most amazing scenes that I have ever experienced.

5.00The reason I picked this company was that Hassan was so attainable before whilst enquiring about the trip by WhatsApp (compared to other companies) it seemed whatever time of day or night I WhatsApp a question, Hassan responded! This gave me confidence as we are a family of six and our children are aged 8 to 18, so I asked lots of questions as I was concerned about the long day travelling back with the different needs and ages. I really had no need to be concerned. The last day is over a 9 hour journey and not one of my group felt it was that long! It felt more like half the time. Our two guides Ali and Hassa were so professional, accommodating and knowledgeable and clearly love their country! Morocco is so fascinating and beautiful there is so much to see whilst travelling! The desert trip was amazing, a real memory made with my family for me it was the highlight waking up sun tge desert surrounded by dunes and the jeep ride out of the desert was an exciting suprise to us all so much fun. Everyone we met on our journey at our different stops all played their part in helping make this one of our best family holidays yet! A great adventure to have as a family creating memories! Hassan did advise to spread the tour over four days but I was worried if it would be too much for the kids!! But I think they really would have been fine touring for at least a day or two longer! After the tour we booked a villa with a pool so we had some great downtime and explored the medina in Marrakech before we flew home! I’ve already passed on Hassan details to friends at home he is highly recommended by us! Thank you

5.00We were in Marrakech for 6 days and took a tour that allowed us to get to know this vibrant city in detail. The tour was excellently organized by Hassan from Sahara Deserts. The highlight of our trip was the three-day tour to Merzouga / Sahara Desert. We made a private tour, with Omar, a very friendly guide, always very attentive and always available to give us all the necessary explanations to understand life in the immense, very old villages we passed through. We went from Merzouga to the desert camp by camel that allowed us to admire and cross the dunes of Erg Chebbi with dazzling colors. We stop to watch the sunset, where the colors mix with the imposing shadows of the dunes. Thank you Hassan it was a very beautiful tour, no rush and with time to enjoy.
Wonderful, once in a lifetime experience!

Big Group Trip—10/10 Experience

5.00Went on a trip with a group of research students (13+). Was probably the easiest trip we planned the entire stay abroad. They arranged transportation from Rabat all the way to Merzouga and back, plus hotel rooms for our first day travel. Our guides were all excellent and the camel ride out to your camp location is unbeatable. Truly one of my best experiences. It was beautiful and so much fun!
Spectacular trip with children to the desert

5.00The staff is very friendly. It was an intense tour by car with three children, the car was very comfortable, the children could sleep very comfortable... the desert and camp is amazing! It is worth doing the extra expense and paying for the luxury camp, the food is amazing and the rooms are very spacious.
Excellent first contact.

5.00We chose Hassan to organize the trip. I trust us and it was very kind. When we finally met at the camp he attended to everything we needed. I was personally impressed by the views on the dunes. I slept great and had a great day. I recommend this tour if you like the amazing scenery. Plus the interesting stops we made along the way. Thanks for everything.
