Desert sunset/sunrise makes up for long hours on the road - This 3-day tour is mostly about sitting in a van on the way from Fes to Marrakech via Merzouga and, aside from the mandatory bathroom/lunch stops, doesn't have too many programmed stops on the way. That said, the first night spent at Merzouga sand dunes easily makes up for the long and tedious drive. The desert camp we stayed at was Sandfish Desert Luxury Camp and I really liked everything about it -- the magical sunset and sunrise, luxury tents and tasty meals. One thing to be aware of, though, is that there are many fellow travelers sharing the ride from A to B who've booked a similar tour with a different tour company, and the dropoffs and pickups may be different for you than other travelers. There's no advance communication about the specific hotel/camp names included in this trip, but our drivers Omar (Fes to Merzouga) and Hicham (Merzouga to Marrakech) did a good job of sorting out the logistics for everybody.

Great experience - Overall very nice experience. The distances are long, therefore a lot of driving. But worth it! The included activities are good and the landscape you see while driving is beautiful. Our driver Mohammed was very nice and helpful. He explained us a lot about the country and the culture. The desert camp and the tents are very comfortable. The hotel of the second night was nice, too. Included food is good (vegetarian options could be better, though). Our driver chose nice restaurants for lunch (12€ per meal). Waiting times for pick-ups (first day and second day after desert camp) were quite long. Could be organized better. But that’s not very important and didn’t bother us too much. Thanks for the great experience!

Great 3 day trip which... - Great 3 day trip which covers all the highlights of the moroccan desert. The Erg Chebbi desert is a once in a lifetime experience. Everything went well from the pick up till the end of the tour without any problems. The tour guide Ibrahim gave interesting explanation at every stop and always had a helping hand. Our driver Mahfoud drove us safely from stop to stop.

Very nice experience!! - We really liked this trip of 3 days between fes and Marrakech passing by Mergouza. The night in the desert is well organized: arrival at the tent in camel, meal and musical "vigil" around the fire. The driver MOHA is very friendly and attentive. Lots of roads but if you like to take in the scenery , you will be served. I recommend this excursion!

A great way to experience parts of such a beautiful country - We had a great time. For us, our two different drivers and the second smaller group we traveled with on day two and three absolutely made the trip fantastic. There’s a lot of time driving so having a good group is awesome. The trip organizer was in touch regularly to smooth out any wrinkles. It’s was a great way to cover a lot of ground and to enjoy some of the sights and places on the way. Something to note: I’ve seen reviews of many of these trips with people wishing that you went deeper into the Sahara. The reality is that this tourism is having a big impact on the natural environment there so keeping the camps concentrated in an area closer to the town is better for the wildlife and their natural habitat. You still get to see the stunning dunes and stay overnight in luxury considering you’re off grid in the desert.

Recommended - The 3 days tour experience gave the opportunity to see many different attraction accompanied by local people. We only felt bit disappointed since we didn't completely respect the itinerary. For example we skipped Midelt and the trekking of the second day. Moreover some of the stop were fast only to take some pictures or in touristic bars. The dune experience give the opportunity to bite a bit of the real desert (completely different by the one close to Marrakech) even if they brought us to small dunes closer to the camp. But if you ask them to bring you to the bigger ones they gently bring you there. They were super nice. Special mention to Said, the third day driver, who respect completely what the itinerary said. Finally, I can say that the tour is a good compromise to visit remote sides of Marocco otherwise impossible to reach without a own car and the price resulted fair.

The good and the bad - Our three-day tour from Fes to Marrakesh was a logistical nightmare. We never knew what time we were to be picked up from day to day or where we'd be staying until we got there, and they gave us the wrong itinerary on the 3rd day. Fortunately, the driver Zaki, who is at the absolute bottom of the power list, was able to make it work for us. The tent camp and sunset camel ride were magical though. Don’t miss that! We also loved the itinerary but prepare for 5-7 hours in the van for 3 days

Warning: Safety Concerns with Tour Guide Imand - Warning: Safety Concerns with Tour Guide Imand I'm compelled to share my disturbing experience with Imand, our tour guide. Initially, the first two days were enjoyable, despite his fast driving and disorganization. However, his behavior took a turn on the last day. Imand's reckless driving in the Atlas Mountains was terrifying, and we refused to get back in the vehicle due to safety concerns. To make matters worse, Imand: - Attempted to run another car off the road - Tried to fight a business owner who refused to let us park in front of the business - Blamed his erratic behavior on Ramadan (not being able to smoke) and another tourist (for telling him to respect her after sending her suggestive messages and calling her during the tour) - Lied about attraction being open -Moody/unpredictable Imand also asked us to write a positive review prematurely, which I initially did but have since deleted. I don't take pleasure in writing negative reviews, but I feel a responsibility to warn others about the potential safety risks associated with Imand's tours.
