We’ve traveled a lot, but this tour was special. The combination of kasbahs, gorges, and Sahara made every day exciting. The hotels were full of character and very comfortable. The luxury tent in the desert had private bathrooms and solar lighting. Our driver-guide, Hassan, went above and beyond, helping us with local shopping and sharing Berber culture along the way.
From the moment we were picked up in Marrakech, everything was organized perfectly. The accommodations were above expectations clean rooms, great food, and friendly hosts. The night in the Merzouga camp was magical, with drums, tea, and sunrise over the dunes. Our driver Hassan was experienced, careful, and gave great local tips. He spoke perfect English and even helped us take great photos along the way.
We chose the luxury option and it was worth every cent. The riads were beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The desert camp was unbelievable large private tent, hot shower, delicious dinner, and a peaceful silence under the stars. Our driver, Ahmed, was always smiling and made the long drives enjoyable. He shared stories, stopped at scenic spots, and really cared about our comfort.
The whole experience was better than we imagined. Each hotel was comfortable, with clean rooms and delicious food. The desert camp had electricity, warm blankets, and private bathrooms true luxury in the Sahara! The driver was not just a chauffeur but a guide and friend. He recommended great photo stops and shared interesting facts about the regions we passed through.
As a solo female traveler, I was a bit nervous about a long road trip, but the experience turned out perfect. The accommodations were lovely and authentic, especially the family-run guesthouse in Dades Valley. The desert camp was the best stars, campfire, music. My driver Ismail was always respectful, friendly, and very helpful. He drove with care and made sure I felt safe and welcome throughout the journey.
