Once in a lifetime journey!

5.00Although the car trip from Fes to the desert is very long, we were able to stop at quite a few interesting places on the way (the Atlas mountains were a highlight) and our driver Mohammad was so funny and knowledgeable. The desert experience itself was unforgettable. The camel ride was once in a lifetime, and seeing the sand dunes in person was amazing. I'd recommend it 100%

5.00We traveled with Madih, who was both a great driver and a great guide. Beautiful tour! We needed to concentrate everything in 2 days, but we didn't want to deprive ourselves of the desert night. With this tour we managed to do everything (Ifrane, Azrou, Merzouga, Rissani, Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou) with an excellent and friendly guide and at an honest price
Perfect experience! Don’t miss it!

5.00Absolutely perfect! I could not ask for a better team to take care of us. From the moment we arrived in Fes all of our guides were amazing, super knowledgeable and accommodating. Yahya our driver to the desert was incredible, stopping everywhere and making sure we took the best pictures and went to the best places. The desert experience in itself was a dream, and our host Hassan made us feel at home with his stories about his whole life lived in the Saharan desert. The manager is Fes Tours Nabil was also great communicating everything with us beforehand, available always and we felt safe and taken care of the whole time! If I could rate this any higher I definitely would. 100% recommend! Also check out their other tours, we also did volubilis and meknes with them and had an amazing time, and had a walking tour with Abdul in the Médina who was super knowledgeable on everything about Fes. Tanneries, ceramic factories, you would see everything with them. Don’t miss out when you’re in Morocco! They are the team to book!

5.00This was a great trip. Our tour guide Madih was really friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed feeding the monkeys, seeing all the landscapes and riding the camels. The desert camp was lovely when we arrived and the locals at the camp really made the experience even more enjoyable.

5.00Madih, our desert guide, was exceedingly kind, accommodating, and informative. While traveling to the Sahara, we were escorted through a number of various communities and were exposed to Moroccan culture. Madih was also very helpful in recommending good places to eat traditional food along the way. I would strongly advise people to do this tour.

5.00We had a fantastic time on the 2 day 1 night trip from Fes. Our tour organiser Nabil and our driver Medi were so accommodating, friendly and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have had a better experience in the desert. Sunsets, camel rides, sand boarding and listening to music around the camp fire - what more could you need 😀
