Great adventures in the desert - We had a great time on this tour, and really enjoyed learning about Moroccan culture and Berber history from our driver Jamal! Jamal was super friendly and knowledgeable, and made the many hours in the car fun and interesting. We especially loved the guided tours with Abdilwahab in Ben Haddou, and Alibaba in Tinghir- we really enjoyed visiting the women's rug co-op. Of course the gem of this trip was riding the camels and exploring the sand dunes in Merzouga with the team at Le Source. Days well spent to visit the Sahara, recommend it. Mashallah Gamal!

Shouldn't be missed - This is exactly what we were hoping for from our trip to Morocco – the sunset and sunrise camel rides, and the impromptu Sahara star watching experience on the final night, were particularly stunning. A lot of time is spent on the minibus, due to the distance between Marrakech and Merzouga, but our driver Idi ensured there were plenty of interesting spots and of course it was entirely worth the wait.

A once in a lifetime experience! - This trip is a must do experience while in Morroco! From start to finish, I had a smile on my face the entire time. Pick up was well communicated and we met in a close central location - on time! Once on the road, our driver Abdel was fantastic. Very safe driver and always made sure we were having a good time and safe. He even stopped to let us buy wine with our dinner for the desert camp and was a gem of a human! It’s a long trip but we made many stops on the way to break it up, including Ait Ben Haddou and the Todra Gorge which is breathtaking! Both our guides for these stops were very nice, knowledgeable and genuine people - though the first guide at Ait Ben Haddou is not included in the price but well worth the $3+tip. The hotel for the first night was much better than I had expected with a pool, nice dinner and even a bar! Once we landed in Merzouga, the real fun began! A few people did quads and had a great time, then we met our camels and their handler Mohammed and rode into the Sahara with a stop to watch sunset and sandboard. Once the sun had set, we made our way to our camp which is a bit closer to the city but still far enough that you are surrounded by dunes. While there we were taken care of very well by the Berber people and Zaid especially made the trip memorable! Singing, dancing and drumming around the fire after dinner was a ton of fun and after some star gazing, a few of us got to spend more time with Zaid around the fire learning of the Berber way of life. He is a very lovely man - and we all very much enjoyed our extra time with him. The camp has clean bathrooms and I got a tent all to myself. The next morning we woke up early, got on the camels and caught sunrise before heading back to the hotel for some breakfast and showers. The drive back is long, broken up with stops every 2 hours for lunch and quick 15 min breaks. But it was well worth the journey. The friends I made on this excursion were amazing and the memories will forever be cherished. If you are considering going, do it! You won’t regret it and I highly recommend using this tour company!

Highly recommend!! - This was a fantastic tour!! The camel ride through the Sahara at sunset and sunrise is incredible. There is a lot of driving to arrive at the desert, but we were entertained by the amazing scenery of the Atlas Mountains and Moroccan cities. Each of the stops on the way to the desert are fantastic sites and the guides were lovely and knowledgable. Our driver for the 3 days, Eddih, was also lovely and made sure to stop for photo opportunities, toilet breaks and snacks! The pick up process at the meeting point was very smooth (Eddih got out of the bus to find us at the meeting point) and we were dropped back at our hotel. Overall we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend!

Great evening adventure - The trip was fantastically organized. We have had a great adventure. Our driver Damou was very nice and attentive. Little tip: you need a power bank, because there is no electricity for chargers in the desert.

Very worthy and amazing expetience - Laarbi was an amazing driver and guide. He really made sure that everything was coordinated and well-planned. We never had to wait for the bus or for food or for any tour. It was really amazing to see so many places in such a small amount of time (the desert, villages, gardens, city). One of my favorite experiences and hands down one of the most worth it tours I have ever done!! Definitely recommend!!
