Best Guides and Tours Around!!! 5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - What an amazing day!! We were picked up right on time from an easy to find location arranged in advance. Our driver, Ismail was friendly, helpful, knowledgable and fun. He... read more took us out of Marrakesh and towards the Ouzoud Waterfalls. Along the way he took the time to tell us about the area, the people and even (tried to) teach us some basic phrases. We stopped briefly for coffee/tea and bathrooms and then continued on. Once we arrived to the waterfalls he asked if we would prefer a private guide for the hike and made sure that we were in capable hands.

It was raining the day of our tour which meant the trail was a little more difficult, but our guide was extremely helpful... even offering a helping hand when we got to some of the more muddy areas on the trail down. We stopped to see the monkeys and then went on through the olive and fig trees. He was extremely knowledgable and answered all the questions we might have. Once we reached the base of the falls we were able to go out on the water in a small boat and we joked that it reminded us of the "Lady of the Mist" boat at Niagra because we were able to get so close to the falls.

On the way back up there were small shops and even some restaurants to have lunch at. Once we were back at the top Ismail was waiting for us to bring us back to Marrakech. Along the way we needed to use the toilet and he stopped multiple times until he found us a western style toilet!!!

These guys went above and beyond to make sure that we had a great experience! 10/10 recommend booking with them. We will definitely be taking another tour with Discover Sahara Tours the next time we are in Morocco!!

Great tour of Morocco desert (and more!) - Great experience!
Ismail was a great driver, guide tour and always very friendly.
Highly recommended to live a once in a lifetime experience!

Memorable and authentic experience.  - Our guide was Ismail and he is very charismatic, friendly, and organized. We had a lot of fun exploring the charming Ait Ben Hadou village, although it would’ve been nice... read more to have more time. It was still enough though.

The camel ride was enjoyable because it’s very different from riding a horse and it’s also beautiful as they make sure to take you during sunset. After the sun sets, we arrived just on time to our Berber camp (the people indigenous to Morocco). There, they treated us to an epic tagine, good company, and Berber music around the fire. We finished the night with star gazing before sleeping in a luxury tent (compared to regular camping ofc). The next morning, it’s mostly driving back except for a very enjoyable lunch on a balcony with mountains hovering over you. I’m glad we did it and next time will probably do a 3-4 day trip.

Disclaimers you should know:
1. it’s a LOT of driving about 6 hours each day total. The first day is broken up with stops to a mountainside cafe, a town that’s been around since the 12th century and where they filmed many famous movies including the gladiator.

2. The camel ride is a lot of fun but be warned that the dunes are pretty small since we only get to the tip of the Sahara desert. If you want to get deep into the desert, you have to do a 3 or 4 day trip.

3. Bring layers if you’re going in the winter cuz it cools down a lot. I wore two layers of pants and two sweatshirts. I recommend a hat and gloves too.

It was an incredible tour! We were a group of 4 girls and it was great and safe. Our guide Ishmael was pleasant and knowledgable. The overnight camping was an... read more amazing experience. We Got to witness a night sky full of stars and also see the sunrise the following morning along with some delicious food. We were provided warm blankets and slept well. A Moroccan experience that I would highly recommend!!

Desert experience - It was an amazing experience! Very nice staff. The conditions (rooms, wc) were very clean and adequated for the desert experience

This was one of the best trips of my life. The trip was me and 2 friends and we all couldn't be happier with it. Mohammad was our tour guide... read more and he's a great guy, a good driver, very knowledgable and an excellent addition for the three of us on our 3 day journey.

We were picked up in Marrakech, made numerous stops at interesting points along the drive to Zagora (where we spent the first night). The hotel we stayed at was really lovely and secluded.

Then the highlight was the excursion to Erg Chegaga. Mohammad had the great idea to do a picnic in the Sahara rather than another restaurant lunch. So we stopped at a butcher and bought lamb chop and grilled them on our own in the middle of the Sahara!

The accommodations at Erg Chagaga were lovely. As was the camel riding and star gazing at night.

My only recommendation to a future traveler is go for longer than 3 days/2 nights if you can. I wish I had had at least 1 more day in the desert.
