5.00An unforgettable experience in the Sahara of Merzouga 🤩🐪 The excursion was simply incredible! A huge thank you to our guide Abdel, who was exceptional from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized and respected in time. The different guides we met were all super professional and very friendly. Our luggage was safe, which allowed us to fully enjoy without stress. And most importantly, the kindness of the people we met made this trip even more magical ❤️ Special mention to abdel that adapts to the language, making the experience even more enjoyable and accessible to all. I recommend 1000% 🙌✨

5.00We were lucky enough to spend a whole week traveling through Morocco with our guide Abdel – and honestly, it was nothing short of amazing! From day one, we felt completely at ease. He took care of everything with so much heart, always looking out for us, sharing the best tips, ideas, and little hidden gems along the way. What really stood out was how much he handled behind the scenes – everything just worked, effortlessly. On top of that, he’s an incredibly safe driver and more importantly, a genuinely warm and kind person. It never felt like we were traveling with a guide – more like being on a trip with a friend (or even family). We’re so sad it’s over… and we kind of feel sorry for anyone who doesn’t get the chance to travel with him! Thank you for an unforgettable experience – we’ll be talking about this trip for a long time!
incredible

5.003 incredible days with Youness and Ali, lots of activities (including the visit of ben haddou and the Toudra Gorge that we loved!). The night of the camp was great, we go dromedary for sunset, then we leave the same way to get up the next day, it is magical 🤩 Many roads but the many stops facilitate the journey (especially the last day when we do about 8h). It’s super well organized, you can go with your eyes closed. Thank you very much!!
Best treatment 😍😍😍

5.00This was our first visit to Morocco and we had booked a three day trip from Marrakech into the Sahara Desert. We met our tour guide Abdel when he picked us up from the Riad in Marrakech on our first morning. Straight away he made us feel welcome and explained where we were heading and about the plans for our day ahead. He looked after us completely, making us feel very welcome in his country. He was great company, relaxed and extremely knowledgeable not only on the areas we traveled through, but also on the history of the country and its people. It’s such a beautiful country with the most stunning scenery. Abdel really made the holiday for us! He took us to so many places of interest and we felt immersed in the Moroccan culture. We really got a great taste of the warmth and hospitality from the Moroccan people especially in the places we visited for lunch, and even the coffee stops! He’s a good, safe and courteous driver. We highly recommend Abdel as a first class tour guide who was always happy to help and kept us smiling for the whole tour!
An unforgettable 3-day Merzouga desert experience

5.00This 3-day excursion to the Merzouga Desert was an outstanding experience, rich in activities, emotions, and authentic discoveries. Throughout the journey, we were accompanied by Abdel, an exceptional guide who led us through the most authentic side of Morocco. Thanks to him, we experienced places, traditions, and everyday life that go far beyond the typical tourist routes. He introduced us to local customs with genuine respect and passion, making us feel truly immersed in Moroccan culture. One of the highlights was the food: Abdel took us to enjoy real local cuisine in places that independent tourists would never be able to find on their own. Every meal felt authentic and thoughtfully chosen. Above all, Abdel’s kindness, professionalism, and remarkable empathy made a real difference. His warm and friendly attitude created a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere throughout the entire trip. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a meaningful, authentic, and well-organized desert adventure in Morocco.
Nice activity

5.00WoW what a beautiful activity!! Our driver Yassin was super nice and he even bought us dates to taste. The road went very well. The first day includes about 4 to 5 hours drive with a visit to UNESCO World Heritage sites. We slept in a comfortable and well heated hotel, with dinner included. The next morning, lunch was also included at the hotel. In the desert, LUXURY rooms are really recommended: they are heated and air-conditioned, with a double bed and a private bathroom. It’s really beautiful and totally worth it. The journey from the desert to Marrakech takes about 10 hours. Thanks again to Yassine who made our stay incredible and very comfortable.
