Well organized and for a very reasonable price, highly recommend! It was 12 of us and we were driving in a spacious van, the guide was really friendly, be prepared that you will spend a lot of time in the car but its surely worth it, we stopped several times to enjoy the views, take nice pics, for food etc. Sahara was definitely the highlight of the tour but if you are travelling during the cold months, it can get pretty cold there. The tent though was really luxurious with a private toilet, shower and many blankets.

It cannot be a better value for money than this trip. We covered all the best places in the time and our guide Abdul was super nice and guided us throughout the sahara from fez to marrakesh. Definitely recommend this activity if someone is planning a trip to Morocco

Amazing experience to do if you look to know the best part of this country: the desert is unbelievable. Also the other locations on the way are really nice. About the driver, our Otman was friendly and polite. The trip was well organized, definitely recommended

Excellent tour from Fez to Marrakech. Good itinerary and friendly drivers. The staff at the desert camp went out of their way to give me a fantastic birthday celebration. Thank you for everything. Definitely recommend!

Perfect days to visit the Sahara and other nearby attractions
