“An amazing desert experience, guided by Ahmed across the Atlas Mountains and into the Sahara.”
Ahmed was extremely kind throughout the three day journey, offering to stop wherever we might like to and tailoring the trip to our needs. The camp was much more luxurious than I expected and really allowed everyone to relax after the long journey.

“My 13 year old son and I went on our first trip to Morocco together — all I can say is WOW!”
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable the entire trip. He kept us entertained and taught us all about Morocco — from ancient irrigation systems to the Berber lifestyle. Yes, the camel and desert part was the highlight, but the entire trip itself was great and really like a true tour of Morocco!
“My 13 year old son and I went on our first trip to Morocco together — all I can say is WOW!”
Highly recommended!! Just book it!
My 13 year old son and I went on our first trip to Morocco together from the US. We booked a 3 day private tour from Marrakech to Merzouga Sahara with camel tour and all I can say is WOW! It was such an amazing experience, we honestly couldn't have asked for more.
Our guide was extremely knowledgeable the entire trip. When we were booking we were worried about the length of the drive, but he kept us entertained and taught us all about Morocco. From the plants and trees we see on the road, to the ancient and still used irrigation systems, how argon oil is made, the rose festival and harvesting, the Berber lifestyle and so much more. Yes, the camel and desert part was the highlight, but the entire trip itself was great and really like a true tour of Morocco! We visited Ait Benhaddou and he gave us a personal tour and got a chance to explore the Dades Valley & Canyon with many stops along the way.
The hotel and luxury tent experience were both comfortable, clean and great food and entertainment. The places we stopped for lunch had options for traditional Moroccan food.
We stopped as much as needed, but not too much to break the drive up. Seriously if you're considering booking this, just do it! Just be sure to bring a book or something to do in the car.
And I'll just end this by saying again - if you're considering it, just do it! We felt 100% safe the entire trip.

Trip of a Lifetime — 100% Recommended
My husband and I had an absolutely fantastic 3 day tour from Marrakesh to Fes via the Atlas Mountains and Merzouga desert camp. Hassan, our driver and guide, was a fantastic host and became a treasured friend over the course of our time together.
He was responsive to our needs and arranged everything perfectly. From hearing stories of his own growing up in the area, to frequent stops along the route, to hearing about contemporary Moroccan life, we savored every minute of the journey. We would have only scratched the surface of this fascinating country without this tour and we are so grateful to have had the chance to dig deeper and truly get a feel for Morocco and its people. Recommended 100% without reservation.

FAQ
Common questions about sahara desert tours
Yes. Unless a tour is clearly marked as small-group, every journey is private: your own vehicle, your own driver-guide and a pace set around you. Small-group departures are capped so the experience stays personal.
Always. Every route can be adjusted — extra nights, a different desert (Merzouga or Erg Chegaga), a slower pace or a special occasion. Tell us what matters and we send a tailored proposal within 24 hours.
Carefully chosen riads, kasbahs and family-run hotels, plus a desert camp with private tents, proper beds and en-suite facilities. You can choose standard, superior or luxury levels when you request your quote.
Send a booking request with your dates — no payment is taken online. We confirm availability, agree the final itinerary and price with you, then a small deposit secures the dates. The balance is paid in Morocco.
Distances in southern Morocco are real, but the road is part of the journey: we stop at viewpoints, kasbahs, gorges and villages, and split the drive across days so you never feel rushed.
