3 day desert tour - We recently did the 3 day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech. Day 1 - we were picked up at 8am and drove to the Sahara desert, stopping off for breaks along the way, including a wonderful Monkey forest where locals sold us handfuls of peanuts to pass on to the monkeys. When we got to the desert we rode camels for half an hour, stopped on the dunes to take in the breathtaking views and then returned to camp. We had dinner, followed by entertainment and then spent the night in luxury air conditioned tents in the desert. Day 2 we left the camp at around 9am we visited a beautiful gorge, had a guided tour of a market, and took in more stunning panoramic views and then spent a night in a hotel with dinner & breakfast included. Day 3 we visited the famous atlas studios and were dropped off at our hotel in Marrakech. Our driver, Mohamed was incredible! He gave us lots of information along the way and was always very happy. Although we spent a lot of time in the van it didn’t feel like at we had lots of fun along the way. Even our 16yr old daughter didn’t complain. thanks Mohammed 👊🏻

Great Experience - The tour was really good and one of the reason was for sure my guide Mohammed and the guys I met during the trip. Mohammed was super friendly e lovely. I didn’t like the restaurants we’ve been for lunch, touristic and expensive but it’s normal for a business like this! Highly recommended!!!
