Excellent experience - We stayed 2 days/1 night from Fez to the Merzouga Desert with a return to Fez. The experience is absolutely magical.
The trip is long (8h one way) but the breaks and dynamics of the group made it much more animated and short.
The minibus is comfortable, with USB plugs and good seats to make the road.
Aziz is a very good driver, careful, careful and friendly.
Mustapha is very good advice, honest and friendly.
Having them with us during the trip made it all the more pleasant.
We were very well surrounded, guided and accompanied, we did not feel lost or in danger at one moment.
The camel ride in the desert is out of time, we had a very attentive guide, anxious that we take full advantage of our experience.
Once arrived on site, comfortable tents await you as well as a beautiful camp with attentive staff on site. The evening meal was hearty and good and the show around the fire very exotic, we even had the opportunity to play Tam Tam (which is harder than it looks!)
Small downside for the organization the next day with sandboards where the progress of the activity was not precise enough to our taste.
But otherwise, extremely satisfied with the experience, which is unforgettable and to do at least once in a lifetime! I recommend without hesitation and with my eyes closed this activity in the company of Mustapha, Aziz and Aomar (who was only there on the return)

Beautiful journey - A very nice experience, Omar and Musta are very friendly and prepared guides, they speak multiple languages and made us feel comfortable for the whole long journey.
Aziz is an awesome driver, his driving style is smooth and the long mountainous drive passed flawlessly. The dunes look amazing, the camping is well equipped, clean and the food is good.

Extraordinary Morroco tour with Hassan - This journey across Morocco from Fes to the desert includes stunning landscapes, learning about local culture, surprises like feeding monkeys and riding dromaderies in the desert. The team was very kind and amenable, the bivouack tents comfortable (although bare in mind, because they include plumbing, they are located at the cusp of the desert, not quite in it), and Hassan is a gracious and friendly guide + driver. Thank you for the experience!

Great experience! - This was a great tour! We were slightly unsure if we'd actually get picked up at our Riad (or nearby) the morning of, but we heard from them the night before via WhatsApp and felt good about the pickup plan. Went to the chosen location in the morning and immediately met Mustafa, who was a great driver and pseudo-guide for both days of our trip.
The drive isn't too bad, especially since we did the Private Tour so we had the car to ourselves. We weren't very interested in most of the stops along the way because we thought it'd be better to get to the desert sooner. However, the camel ride was only scheduled for 6:30pm and they take you to your campsite, so there's no point in actually rushing to get there earlier. Therefore, enjoy the stops along the way, have a leisurely lunch, etc.
The camel ride was great - you walk onto the dunes and stop to watch the sun set - and the service at the kasbah was top tier. Only thing was that dinner was really late, but it was delicious, and the campfire and songs were fun.
Downside is definitely that there isn't A/C in the tents - it was really difficult to sleep. We didn't realize there isn't any A/C until it was too late, so we suffered in the heat for the night.
We were also told to meet in the morning to watch the sunrise with a guide, but when we woke up for that there was no guide to take us out into the desert. We ended up just going out on our own to try to see it, though there is so much sand along the horizon that there isn't too much of a sunrise view.
The drive from the desert to Marrakech is incredibly windy through the Atlas Mountains and drivers take the turns at a high speed, so we were particularly happy we got the Private Tour so we could lay down and sleep through the drive (and also catch up on sleep after the early morning).
All in all, it was such a unique and fun experience, and we would certainly recommend it as long as you're game for a little adventure!
