this circuit is really worth doing - Magnificent experience of this tour. Picked up from your place of residence in the Medina, the mini bus was very comfortable and the driver careful. the landscapes are superb during the journey. the welcome on arrival at the camp was fantastic. Access to the dunes, the camp, the evening meal, the entertainment, the room, everything was perfect!! small point of improvement perhaps, the lunch places on the way out and the next day on the way back were just passable. But overall this circuit is really worth doing, personally I would have liked to stay one more day.

great ! - The trip to the desert was great ! Many exciting stops and the highlight was Merzouga with the Berbers, who made the tour a highlight. Our driver Badr was very friendly and drove us safely to our destination everywhere, a good guide ! I can only recommend the visit, only the restaurants have been modified, but it is also because of the stops. Make sure you take the time to get in touch with everyone present during the tour !

an experience that exceeded all expectations - The trip was flawlessly organized from start to finish. The communication with the tour company was prompt and informative. They took care of every detail, making sure we felt safe and well-prepared for the journey. Our driver was an absolute gem. Not only was he a skilled and experienced navigator, but he was also a knowledgeable and affable guide. He made us feel comfortable and engaged, enhancing the overall experience. The driver made sure we had ample time to take photographs and soak in the beauty of the landscape. The highlight, of course, was our overnight stay in a luxury desert camp. The camp was beautifully designed, with comfortable tents and exquisite Moroccan decor. Our outstanding driver and great stops along the way combined to create an experience that exceeded all expectations

Unmissable experience !! - Even though the distances are long, the drivers made the trip very enjoyable. Badr (one way) and Nawfal (round trip) were 10. The camp was great and the staff were super friendly. Not to mention the Dromedario guides who were also very good people. Everything is very well organized, I recommend 100%

excellent experience - Our 2-day Luxury Tour to Merzouga Desert from Fez was an unforgettable experience for us as a couple. The attention to detail and the personalized touch from the tour organizers truly made it a luxurious and romantic getaway. From the comfortable accommodations to the breathtaking desert landscapes, every moment was magical. We felt like we were in a dream, riding camels to watch the sunrise over the dunes was a highlight! Thank you for creating such a memorable and special trip for us.

Fez sahara fez - Had a great trip up and down to the Sahara. We had only two days open in our schedule and this was a very pleasant way to travel. Badr knows the roads and drives you there in comfort. The Sahara, Although maybe a bit touristic, is a great experience.
