Unforgettable experience with driver Mohammad - We made last minute plans to take the overnight trip, Fes to the desert. HM owner Mohammed promptly organised everything for our private tour. Our driver (also Mohammed) was thoughtful, kind, keen to share knowledge of his country and to ensure a safe, relaxed and comfortable trip. In addition to the itinerary, we visited so many other fascinating sites, including a half day at Rissani on our return day: the markets, mosque, ancient Ksar, and Berber pizza at a Tuoreg home, were unforgettable! Further when we realised the Monastery de Notre Dame d’Atlas at Midlet was a short deviation from the route back to Fes, Mohammed happily took us. Sadly advance notice was needed to meet Pere Jean Pierre, survivor of the 1996 massacre at his Algerian monastery. Next we tasted local Berber lamb at the little village of Zaida before the last leg into Fes. Mohammed must have been exhausted! We were sad to say farewell to our wonderful companion but hope to meet again! The journey is as amazing as the Sahara destination. Don’t be deterred by the distance! Just go for the memories of a lifetime.

Great experience! - This experience was a lot better than what we were expecting. We were reading reviews for awhile debating if it was worth it or not and got very mixed reviews from people. It was a 7-8 hour drive down from Fez to Merzouga , but it was very worth it. You made plenty of stops in the van for bathroom and food and sometimes views(just keep in mind some of the bathrooms are squatty potties with minimal toilet paper or just buckets of water). The camel experience was great, tour guide was nice and took pictures for us. I recommend going in the off season (It was warm, and two other groups there the whole time!). The tent in the desert has a regular toilet, great shower, and comfortable bed. The food was amazing. Make sure to take out Dirhams (Moroccan cash) for food, souvenirs, if you want to ATV/buggy in the desert, and tips ! The only downside I had was the van for transport would pick up random other people so you could end up in a packed van with others. I think overall it was a great price for the experience. I think from reading other reviews , new years is not an ideal time to do this excursion.

Unforgettable experience in Morocco - We booked a private tour for three people from Fez to the Sahara Desert & Merzouga and back to Marrakech next day. We have a flight on the next day in Marrakech at 8:30 pm so normal tours to the desert is not suitable for us. But we really wanted to visit the desert. Luckily, we found the Happy Moroccan Tour. They arranged a private tour for us quickly and perfectly and let us come back to Marrakech in the time we want. The price is nice. And we had a really enjoyable experience. Although the tour had a long drive, the view was really beautiful, so it was not so tired throughout the tour. We saw snow mountains, forest and monkeys, valleys, oasis, desert and so on. After arrived at Sahara, we rode on camels, saw the sunset, and stayed in a luxury camp. The camel ride was a unforgettable experience. At night, the starry night in the desert was amazing, and it was definitely life-worthy to see it. The food at the camp was also nice. On the next day, we set off early towards Marrakech for the flight, and we arrived on time successfully. I’m here also to specifically give a great thank to our driver and guide, Ali. He is a really nice, kind and hard-working person. On the first day, he got up early to pick us from the hotel in Fez and then drove us to the Sahara Desert. This was definitely not a easy task. The whole drive was about 7 hours. Ali finished the drive perfectly and did not show any tiredness during the drive. He also showed professionality as a guide. He can speak some English. He introduced the places, buildings, and the views to us from time to time and answered our questions. He knew the tour well and he always told us the next stop clearly after we finished the previous one. He also responded to our requests (ie. go to toilet, have a cup of tea, buy some sovereigns and so on) quickly and can find the right places. The drive was long, but the arrangement for getting off the car to see the view or relax was nice, so we did not feel so tried throughout the tour. We have a really happy and enjoyable time with Ali. It is nice to have a person like him in the tour. In all, we really like and recommend the Happy Moroccan Tour and our driver and guide o Ali.

Desert visit - We had a wonderful time on this trip. We had a limited amount of time in Morocco and chose this tour. It was a little disorganized with transfers from the bus to the cars and the bus ride was very long so be prepared. The camel ride and the stay in the camp made the trip as well as the guides in the camp.

Memorable! - Great experience! Tents with own bathrooms were amazing - definitely bring layers if you go in the winter. Both dinner and breakfast were good. Drive can be either very scary or very beautiful depending on the driver! Not for everyone but would recommend!

Scan company - Horrible desert Trip, this company is a disaster. We booked a luxury desert Trip from fez to the desert. On the way , Mohammed told me that my camp desert is full , was a lie, in Booking was available for that night. The camp room without towels, without hot water , bathroom was broken. Mohammed is a thief, he told me refund 100€ next day in Fes. Next day , he didn’t answer the phone. Ghosting, he didn’t answer movil phone or WhatsApp. Please , don’t lar him deceive you. This company is a scam. I attach a photo of the scammer and the shower
