The trio was an absolute blast! We did so much along the road from Marrakesh to Merzouga. There was a perfect blend of cultural experience as well as natural wonders along the way. I’d recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the beauties that the interior of Morocco has to offer.

Fabulous 3 day trip from Marrakech to Sahara. Saw so many amazing sights and had great photo opportunities along the way. Frequent stops made long trip very easy. Amhad guided us each step of way, was very informative about sights and local culture. Always checking to see if we were happy with experience. lunch stops all reasonably priced and food was delicious. Camel ride to camp was a must do while visiting Morocco. Fire and music at desert camp was a highlight. Sunset and sunrise were spectacular. ATV ride was extra $ but well worth the experience. Whole family had an amazing time. Five stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am a solo traveller and I booked a 3 day 2 night trip with 4 others as a small group. It was indeed a wonderful experience. Enjoyed the travel, the night in desert was amazing and filled with fun. Ahmed made sure we enjoyed and have high spirits through out the tour. Planning to visit again in winter 2024.

Perfect tour, friendly drivers and authentic local tour guides. Plenty of Toilet, food stops. Well organized. The price is incredible for all that’s included. Sahara on the camel ride at sunset is one of my life’s most amazing experience. The camp is lovely, comfortable with running water, electricity. I highly recommend Sahara tours Marruecos and Ahmed.
