5.00We've had one of the best trips of our lives, and that's largely thanks to Brahim, who was absolutely delightful. He kept showering us with thoughtful touches like pastries and dates, and his great sense of humor and friendly nature made our trip unforgettable.
Really nice trio

5.00We just returned from an incredible 3-day desert trip from Marrakech to Merzouga. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, from the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara dunes. But what truly made this experience unforgettable was our driver, Brahim. He is an absolute legend, professional, friendly, and always making sure we were comfortable. It was a true pleasure to travel with him and learn so much along the way. We highly recommend this tour, especially if you are lucky enough to get Brahim as your guide!
a great experience that I definitely recommend

5.00We really enjoyed the whole tour experience and our private guide Idir. All the places we visited were absolutely worth it. Our stay at the Riad in Dades and the Premium tent in the desert both exceeded our expectations – very comfortable, with staff who were always attentive and genuinely friendly. The camel ride was just a bit longer and more uncomfortable than we had expected, but overall everything was great. The return journey is quite long and tiring, but still manageable. Overall, a great experience that I definitely recommend – you won’t regret it!
Sáhara bucket list experience

5.00My husband and I wanted to see the Sahara and experience the wonders that it has to offer. After much research we chose Marrakech Camel Trips. Brahim was the main contact point for all enquiries and booking. He was prompt in his communications and very informative. This made us very confident and pleased with our choice. We booked a private tour and Ali was our driver/guide. He was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and very helpful. He also had the cutest laugh. Everyday he gave us a suggested itinerary, which we could follow or amend as we wished. We loved the Kasbah and fossil tour, plus the magnificent Atlas Mountains. We arrived at the luxury camp (on camels) at the end of our 2nd day. What a joy to behold. It was a little oasis in the stunning Sahara. All the staff were very welcoming and wanted to ensure we enjoyed our time there, which we did. I would not hesitate recommending this company, tour guide and camp, for the quality and care that was given. A true bucket list moment brought to life. Thanks x Tania 💕

A tailor-made trip for us

5.00I left Marrakech with my sisters and their boyfriends. Our driver Mohamed picked us up at the Riad with a 9-seater van just for the 6 of us, and was immediately kind and accommodating. After a first night at the hotel in Dades we reached the desert by sunset the following day where we could enjoy a magnificent walk on the dormedary and among spectacular sand dunes we practiced sandboarding. The night in the luxori camp was unforgettable (typical dinner, music and dancing around the fire). The next day, sunrise over the dunes, we left for Ouarzazate where we stayed in a Riad before returning to Marrakech. Unforgettable experience, absolutely recommended.
To be redone as soon as possible

5.00The tour was amazing. The night in the desert won me over. All staff were always helpful, friendly and helpful. Every stage of the itinerary has moved me. Thanks to Mohammed, our driver and guide we had a lot of fun, we visited many places, even not too "conventional", ate excellent typical dishes and much more .. We were very lucky to know and be guided by Mohammed to Merzouga, a great travel companion and excellent driver, he speaks more than three languages and has always been up to all our needs. Highly recommended!
