What's the expected group size and age mix for that specific departure? (I'm hoping to find something with other adults/solos, not a kid-heavy family group.) What is planned for New Year's Eve specifically (music, group dinner, any wine/beer availability or BYO)?

We do have a 5-Day Active Sahara Desert Tour from 28 Dec to 2 Jan available. This departure usually has 8–14 adult travellers/solos and is not a kid-heavy group.

Could you please confirm if you can offer the transfer from and to the airport? And the price for a previous double room

Yes, we can offer the airport transfers if that is from Marrakech. We can book the room you wish, if you prefer the double room we can book it for you.

For 8 adults, some of whom are over 6 feet tall, do you offer a 15 passenger van? Also, could you specify the type of accommodation you offer? As in, the desert camp, are the showers "normal" showers or bucket showers? Is Sandboarding included in this price?

We can use a bigger van then, so that will have enough space for your group. We use Ksar Sultan in Dades or similar and the desert camp with private shower and toilet for each tent. Sandboarding is included in the tour. However the quad biking in the dunes and hot air balloon ride in Marrakech are not included, so we add that as optional activities.

We are 4 adults, aged 55, 65, 71 and 73. We are all able to hike and climb easily. How can we book the Marrakesh to Fes 3-day tour? Is it possible? Two of us are resident in France and two in the U.S.A. How can we book insurance for two different countries? Is it possible to upgrade accommodations on this trip? If so, where would I find the information?

We recommend the 4 or 5 day trip from Marrakech to Fes if you prefer to include hiking and climbing on your desert adventure experience. The 3 day trip is more classic and has long drive each day, and doesn't include any hiking or climbing except the camel riding and the overnight in the desert camp. We can include 2 to 3 hours hiking, possible rock climbing, visit the locals and the nomads, spend the night in the desert camp, possible to have lunch or dinner with locals. We can book the upgraded accommodation for all these options and we can send you the names of the hotels or the links of the hotels after you book the tour.

Do you know whether it is possible to get nut-free food during the provided meals on this tour?

We do offer the nut-free food for this trip, so there will be not problem.

How many hours drive is the trip to Fes?

Is it possible to offer an alternative instead of riding a camel? I am recovering from a back injury.

I am interested in taking this tour, I would like to know if the tents in dessert are heated because it will likely be quite cold in the night.

Yes the tent has the heater(the water system. However, during November doesn't get that cold at night. Don't worry about the cold.

Can you please provide more information about the accommodation? We would like to book a luxury option for both nights if possible please.

Here are the hotels we are using for this 3-day trip: Night 1: Xaluca Dades or similar. Night 2: Mirage Luxury desert camp or similar.

The whole trip was just amazing! From the beginning till the end. The booking was easy and the communication with Youssef was very uncomplicated. He always answered very quickly and was helpful (for example with organising vegetarian food). Even during the trip he held contact to make sure everything is alright. We got picked up by a very modern car and the organisation around the pickup (via WhatsApp) was very easy. We did the tour with Mouhssine as our guide and driver and we are absolutely sure, that we couldn’t be more lucky. Beside a lot of interesting information and explanation, Mouhssine is caring, kind, funny and well organised. We enjoyed every single moment with him - it was like travelling with a friend. We learned a lot about the country, culture, history, language and many more and besides that had many interesting private conversations. Even while we’ve been on activities without Mouhssine, he was always taking care of us being alright. Thank you Mouhssine for the awesome time we had together. The tour is very well planed. Even though there are some longer driving times, they were filled with informative stops. The different activities are professional organised, well chosen and always operated by nice and friendly people. We always felt safe and had a lot of fun. The stops for food and especially the riads and hotels are very well chosen, as they provided delicious meals, had clean and comfortable rooms and were well located. Completely recommendable!Show more

Recently, my companions and I decided to embark on a 4-day excursion from Marrakech to Fes and it was an extraordinary experience! Our itinerary featured an array of activities including quad biking, camping, and a sunset camel ride safari. The quad biking was undoubtedly a standout moment for us, as we were able to explore the picturesque Moroccan terrain in a thrilling way. The guides were well-informed and took great care to ensure our safety throughout the entire adventure. We enthusiastically endorse this activity to anyone seeking an exhilarating escapade. Our camping experience was also remarkable. We spent the nights in traditional tents and relished the scrumptious meals provided by our hosts. The bonfire under the starry sky was particularly enchanting and we valued the opportunity to detach from our devices and fully immerse ourselves in the desert surroundings. Lastly, the sunset camel ride safari was a serene and ideal conclusion to our trip. The camels were friendly and well-trained and the panoramic view of the sun setting over the desert was truly breathtaking. It was a soothing and restful way to unwind after our adrenaline-packed few days. To sum up, our trip from Marrakech to Fes was an unforgettable experience. The guides were cordial and knowledgeable, the activities were diverse and thrilling, and the scenery was absolutely spectacular. We wholeheartedly recommend this journey to anyone seeking to discover the captivating beauty of Morocco's desert landscape.Show more

My sister and I went on a 4 day excursion from Marrakech to Fes with Youseff. Our tour far exceeded our expectations. Youseff was an exceptional guide and shared so much about Moroccan culture. The accommodations and itinerary were all 5-star and as two women travelers we felt very safe throughout the trip. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience and I would recommend this tour to any travelers interested in learning about and enjoying this beautiful country! We will definitely be back, thank you for an amazing trip!Show more

I am not the kind of person who takes the time to write a review but in this case an exception is definitely necessary. Expectations were very much exceeded in every possible way. Our guide Mohammed was beyond amazing and can't express just how much I would recommend this tour/company/guide to anyone thinking of doing so. Extremely friendly and knowledgeable on all things local as well as Morocco in general and makes the seemingly longer drives go by in a flash. Worth every cent and then some.Show more
