Snowy mountains to Deserts under the night sky - Such an amazing and unique experience. Our guide Yassine was incredible, hilarious and very patient with our hectic group along with our incredible driver Moha. The night in the desert was such a highlight, dancing around the fire with live music, watching the sunset and then lying on the dunes under the night sky, just incredible. 10/10 recommend but just remember to bring cash for tipping and be aware that many places don’t have change for larger notes. So amazing to see so many of Moroccos diverse landscapes, a great way to see the country.

Trip into the desert from Marrakech - Amazing trip, well organized and planned. Timing was perfect, as well as the accomodations in Thingir and Merzougga. The local berbero guides were very deep into the role and passionate about their local villages and traditions

Best Experience with Ali! - Our trip to the Sahara Desert with Ali was truly unforgettable. From start to finish, he made everything seamless, fun, and full of heart. The landscapes were breathtaking, and Ali’s deep knowledge and passion for his country made the experience even more special. A real highlight was the surprise birthday cake he organised for our friend under the stars it was such a thoughtful touch and made the trip extra memorable. Every moment felt magical, from the camel rides to the desert campfire music. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Ali, for an incredible adventure!

Fake reviews, not worth it - Keep in mind that most of the reviews are rather fake or at least ingenious - we were asked to post a review before leaving so with your driver staring at your writing it, it is hard to write an honest review. The price of the tour if low so obviously you cannot expect high quality experience but still I think the agency should have done a better job. The down points were: - the hotel for the first night - everyone in our bus agreed it was horrible, so dirty, old and the food was bad and stale - the restaurant stops - I felt like the restaurants chosen for the lunch (that we paid for ourselves) were purposely chosen in the middle of nowhere so we would have no other choice but to eat there and the food was disappointing even though the price was not that low - the second bus - the second bus was very dirty and it takes maybe 10 to 15 minutes to sweep the floor and throw out the trash, the first bus was great thank to the driver Jonas who actually cared a lot anyways - the tour guides - boring that’s all - many people had trouble finding luxury tent at the camp after booking it bc the agency overbooked it - the showers at the camp - didn’t expect much since it was a dessert but should fix the locks and separate female from male showers The good points were: - The Sahara - was pretty okay but I just don’t think the experience is worth the money, better organize it all yourself with some transportation service and you will probably end up having a better experience :) - the driver - our first driver Yonas was really nice and helpful - the pickup - they can pick you up and drop you off close to your hotel

If you provide such low quality experience just don't provide it at all or inform the interested prior about the quality - To start with most of this trip is just driving to Sahara with a few stops to see some sights. But we expected this so it's fine but I would say it would be more worth it to for example fly to Tangier rather than travel so much to Sahara. Anyway, I have to firstly mention the food. It was horrible and even though me and my sister are vegetarian our meat-eating travel companion was just as disappointed. I don't know if the company has some contract with the places they take you to for lunch but since that is not included in thr price please consider dropping everyone off in the city so they can choose a place themselves. The food that was provided was just as bad so we barely ate during this trip and during the last stop for lunch we just got fries because we were so tired of the food. The only good meal was the breakfast at the Sahara camp. Second of all the hotel - for this price you cannot expect much but it's not only about the low quality of the place. It was so dirty we're sure no one has cleaned there since the opening. I will upload photos below. Another point would be the horrible bus that drove us back to Fez. I understand the driver must have been driving others to Sahara before but since the drivers are paid they should at least clean the trash and more or less the surface using wet wipes. the camp. We didn't expect much fot the price and we cannot complain about the tent - they were just tents with beds it's all okay despite not booking luxury we got the tent to ourselves. But the bathrooms were horrible quality with no seperation for men and women which is something totally not understandable especially in an arabic country. Lastly, the local guide at the cannion didn't say anything about the actual place and just made as walk around the village to visit some local house where the owners wanted to make us buy their carpets and were not rude but... very upset when we chose not to. On the good side - the driver Jonas? Joseph? idk his name started with J was really kind. I am not sure if he's also in charge of choosing accomodation and restaurants but if not then we have no conmplaints about him. the Sahara experience itself was nice tho there was no mention about quads but maybe we should have asked ourselves.
