5.00An amazing experience through so many different landscapes...snowy mountains, rocky desert, ancient kasbas, green oasis, fresh rivers, sandy dunes. Among villages or nomad tents, the warm hospitality we've received was really special, as well as our special guide, Said. We'll come back.

Magic Merzouga desert experience with the Desert Star Tours!

5.00It was an excellent choice of the guide for visiting the Merzouga desert! We didn't regret a second: professional driver, easy logistics, comfortable hotels or luxury tents, tasty food, camel ride enjoying sunset and sunrise, meeting local people, etc. The selection of the tent was excellent - very clean and new, we felt like at home. Selection of the restaurant was great - we tried the berber pizza for the first time. We visited a music show with drums, in addition to the animation at the luxury tent. We watched the sky - it was indeed a thousand stars hotel! Thanks so much to Said for this tour, his dedication and care for the local culture. We will definitely come back!
Great holiday in the Morocco Desert

5.00Our meeting with Morocco was incredible. I was pretty surprised at how well organized is the route. Our driver is perfect, each hotel comfortable, meals tasty. The way to Merzouga was like from cinema. Huge valleys, unique kasbahs, authentic villages... Morocco is full of surprises, we made a lot of fotos. I couldn't imagine, that someday would ride on a camel in the Sahara desert. Or even I'll be able to spend time in bedouin camp. Amazing trip! Thanks to Desert Stars tours!
Great experience!

5.00Conquered from our first experience in Morocco with our guide Said, we contacted him again for the organization of a new trip to the desert, to Merzouga. We spent 4 exquisite days. We were delighted to see these landscapes very varied between mountains and deserts, to enjoy the good little tagines and homemade couscous, to find this culture so warm. Another big thank you to Said, our French-speaking guide, who was at our little care and who always shares his good humor and his good words. We highly recommend it.
Magical experience
