What people love about Sahara Desert Tours
- Imperial Cities & Sahara Discovery Tour from Marrakech
We love our experiences in Casablanca so far, and we really like our guide Sila Azdine and driver Medhi, who were funny, kind and very prepared, even to help me shopping and answer all the questions of an historian like me - not an easy task at all! -
- Highlights of Morocco Tour from Marrakech
As mentioned in previous reviews this is not a tour with one group, driver and a tour guide. You get different drivers and tour guides in every city you go. Even though, it is well organised as they tell you every time what time you’ll be picked up. The only time you have one driver is from Rabat all around to Marrakech which is about a week. Big shout here to Adnan who was my driver for the week. He was an excellent driver even a tour guide from time to time. He was also a great company and took good care of me as I was the only one on the tour. He is a real gem to your company. Big mention to my tour guide Said in Fes, my driver Mohamed(I think) in Tangier and the rest of the drivers and guides. The desert was a highlight the only thing that could be improved is if there’s an a/c or even a fan in the tents as it was too hot and impossible to sleep. As for the things that didn’t go so well there were few and I’m sure it can be improved. First, all the places that are mentioned in the itinerary should be covered by the tour guides instead of them discouraging the visitors to go there. I mentioned few times that I wanted to go to the Saadian Tombs as per the itinerary and the tour guide discouraged me. We also didn’t covered the Menara gardens on the day. Regarding the gardens I was taken there the next morning for 15 minutes but nothing was done about the Tombs although I was promised that on my return to Marrakech I will have an opportunity to go. Second, the tour in Tangier was poorly organised and we were shoved in a restaurant for a lunch. The lunch was substandard for 200 dirhams per person. It would be better if the tour guide gives options rather then shoving the visitors in an overpriced restaurant. Third, the hotel in Fes is hardly a 4 star hotel as it’s old and dilapidated. My room wasn’t very clean as well. Forth, it should be mentioned in the itinerary that when crossing the Atlas mountings the roads are very winding so people who suffer from car sickness should be prepared. All in all it is good tour that covers a lot of places and you get to learn a lot about the history. The people are very welcoming and friendly and always ready to help you. If you thinking of visiting Morocco and seeing a lot of places that this is the tour to go.

Best tour ever What an amazing trip. I highly recommend this tour. Everyone who works there is wonderful and so sweet. The food was fantastic. The tents are very nice and comfortable. And there’s nothing like watching shooting stars in the middle of the desert <3 do it! You won’t regret it!

"I had a wonderful time seeing round Morocco with this tour 💕 The hotels we stayed in were beautiful, the places we visited were interesting with so much history and the guides we met at each place were mostly excellent. I was expecting a guide with us for the whole trip not just at destinations. With such long drives between sites it would have been nice if the driver was able to tell us some history or facts etc. For the first couple of days of my tour I was the only passenger so I am glad I can speak French and was able to at least chat to the driver. Our driver was the kindest most considerate guy and we became good friends. But he had no guide knowledge and very minimal English which frustrated the other passengers that joined the tour later who kept asking me to translate for them and ask him questions but he didn’t know the answers. Luckily we had 2 Czech guys in our group who googled the whole way and told us some info during the long hours in the minibus. Would recommend this trip and it is a highlight of my travel experiences. I love Morocco and will definitely come again to see some other towns. It is the first time I have used a tour while travelling as I usually plan my own trips and travel solo but this was a very easy relaxing way to fit in so much in my limited time in Morocco. The camel ride to our camp in the Sahara for the night was the best stop. I loved the serenity of being surrounded by sand dunes at sunset and sunrise and sleeping so peacefully in a tent that night. Magical.

"Our journey in Morocco was fantastic. The tour took us to many interesting places, making the trip enchanting. Surprisingly, even though the daily travels were longer than we thought, it didn't make us enjoy the trip any less. Maybe if we think about different places to stay and eat, it could make the experience better. We noticed that the quality and prices for tourists varied. Still, these small things didn't take away from the good memories of our journey.
