Beauty of the desert and mountains on a comfortable 4x4 trip

5.00We are a quiet people, so a comfortable trip was the most important thing for us. And on this trip, we got a taste of it. Our private 4x4 car was very comfortable and clean. The driver is very knowledgeable and courteous. The views were spectacular as we crossed the High Atlas Mountains past the bustle of Marrakech. We were particularly impressed by the sight of the oasis as we passed through Dades Valley. Overnight we stayed in a beautiful Riyadh, where the quality of food and hospitality was excellent. The next day we took a long walk as we went to the Todra Gorge. The vastness of the mountains and the sound of the river calmed our minds. This tour is ideal for those who are looking for a little relaxing and nature-loving trip.
Memorable Journey!

5.00The journey, which began in Casablanca, was like taking a deep dive into Morocco. I forgot to walk between the serenity of Rabat's Udais Kasbah and the blue walls of Chefchaouen. Seeing the cherry mosque and tannery with the local guide in Fes - those smells and colors are still remembered. Starry night camping, sandboarding and barber music on camel rides in the desert - it's magic! The end of Marrakech with the cinematic view of Ait Ben Haddou and the curvy road of the Tichka Pass - the whole adventure is in full bloom. Excellent!

5.00We took this tour, did very well. Covered all places-cities, deserts, mountains, sea everything. From Casablanca to Rabat, the Blue Road in schefshausen, the old medina in Fes – all interesting. The highlight was a camel ride in the Sahara and a Berber camp at night. I took many pictures of the mountains of the Todra Gorge and the Casbah of Ait Benhaddou. Night fairs and food in Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakesh are very fun.
Unforgettable experiences of Moroccan culture, history and the desert.

5.00Starting with the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, then the blue city of Chefchaouen, the Roman ruins of Volubilis, the old medina and tannery in Fes-everything is incredible. The guide explained everything to us very well, there was no fear of getting lost in Fes. The sunrise and sunset camel rides in the Sahara Desert in Merzouga were lifetime memories! Berber music, starry skies and traditional dinner at Desert Camp-all magical. The casbahs of Dades Valley, Todra Gorge and Ait Ben Haddou looked as if they had entered a movie set. Private car, AC, comfortable Riyadh/hotel, daily breakfast and two dinners for dessert-all included. The driver is very professional, on time, safe and friendly.
Stories, Culture and Desert Magic with Hassan

5.00Our 3-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga was one of the best experiences, and the lion's share of its achievements must be given to our guide Hassan. He was not just a guide, as if he had become a member of our family. As our car drove along the winding path of the High Atlas Mountains, he began to tell us details about the history and Berber culture of each region. His words and wisdom have impressed us. During his visit to the Casbah of Ait Ben Haddou, he not only showed us the scene, but also brought to life the stories within the earthen walls. We felt so comfortable with the use of Hassan that, despite the fatigue, we enjoyed every moment. Especially the memories of being in dad's Valley on the first night and having dinner in the quiet surroundings there will be remembered for a long time. Everyone should do this tour for him.

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.

5.00This was one of our most memorable and beautiful experiences. From the guide, Ali, to everything in between. Our camel ride, the camp, the hotel en route, eating at the most delicious places. Everything was above and beyond our expectations.

Perfect family adventure

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
3 days private trip to Sahara desert

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.
