What people are saying about Ouarzazate

We had a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. The 3-day Dessert tour from Marrakech to Fez allows you see a lot of Morocco within a short period of time (for a decent price) and without the hassle of arranging everything yourself. The only thing you have to do is sit back and relax! Our tour guide was Omar and driver was Ibrahim which were both very friendly and helped think along. Tip: Bring warm clothes to the dessert!

I really enjoyed the experience. Hussein was our main guide who managed the trip. Very caring and enthusiastic. For a trip in Morocco, it’s definitely a great one if you plan to visit Fez from Marrakech. The trip is quite long with plenty of stops. Though the last day of driving felt a bit long between meals, it ultimately was a really cool tour! If possible I’d opt for a camel ride and a quad ride to experience both!

It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. Mohamed made e sure we were happy, safe and enjoy our tour to be the maximum. I very very much recommend this guide as the best I ever had 8n the many tours around the world we have taken. Morocco is a incredible county for it's diversity, beauty and friendly people. We loved our trip there and inshallah we'll be back soon.

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time days safari from Marrakech to Fes. Our drive Mohammad was fantastic. Very thoughtful, fun and entertaining. The camel ride was a highlight as was the over night camp. Well worth it and good value for money.
