My partner and I booked this Four-Day Private Tour to the Merzouga Desert from Marrakech, and it was such an amazing four days! From the pick-up at our Riad to... read more the airport drop-off, it was a fantastic time to see the beautiful landscapes, people, culture, and history. Our tour operator, Ismail, was a great driver and guide throughout the entire journey.

I am so glad we decided to go with four days vs a three day tour. Being in the car was not as stressful and tiring, and an extra day in the Sahara was great to have a slower day before a long drive back to Marrakech.

In speaking with other travelers in different tour groups, they seemed to be really on the go/nonstop, which felt too stressful if you had an extra day. So, I'd highly recommend this four-day tour!

Best Sahara tour - Ismail was the best guide super helpful and informative. A great way to experience true Moroccan culture and lots of fun. Would recommend.

Worth every single penny! - This tour was worth every penny! It should be in everyone's bucket list. We were 8 people in a nice, clean van with Ismael, from Marrakesh to Fes, with several... read more stops during the 3-day tour. Ismael is an excellent driver. It was awesome how everything was planned and on time at all the stops. We learned a lot about the Berber culture and visited different communities and Kasbahs. On the second day of our stop, we had a walking tour with Said, a beautiful morning walk around Tinghir. We stopped in a Kasbah to learn about the berber’s carpets, colors, and symbol meanings. We did not enjoy the food at some of the stops, so we went to other places nearby, and we found better prices and a more authentic experience than in the traditional “tourist traps”. The food stops for lunch are something that they need to improve. Of course, the best part is on the second night when we rode the camels to see the sunset and then arrived at our tents in the desert. If you have issues with your back or shoulders, I suggest you try to go to the tents by car. Everything in the desert was perfect. The food was abundant and delicious (when we were full and ready to go, they gave us the best Lamb Tahine we had on our whole trip. The tents were incredibly comfortable, with running water and an Occidental toilet. We had a firepit at night with live music under the stars. The sky was fantastic!!! Stargazing was very easy, even near some of the lights in the camp. We went in December, so you need to be prepared for a very cold night/morning.

Fun journey to a beautiful starry night in the desert - My two favorite parts of this trip (the five star portions in my opinion) was seeing the gorgeous starry night sky in the desert and the drive to the desert... read more with our drive Ismael. Ismael was very informative on the various sights we passed on the drive, but also let us sit with the beauty of the scenery on the drive as we silently listened to music. It was the perfect combination of quiet moment and social interaction. He also made sure to check in on us at various points throughout the drive and was as accommodating as he could be. My friend and I booked the desert trip specifically for the night sky and it did not disappoint. Seeing the sky full of stars shining so bright was a breathtaking sight and an absolutely unforgettable moment. The camel ride was a lovely moment to take in nature and sit with your thoughts. With that being said the camel ride was longer than I expected as well as the large amount of soreness that followed afterwards. If you have any pelvic, hip, or lower back issues than the camel ride may not be the best option for you. Definitely make sure you have dirhams for the various pit stops on the journey, food, and for tipping the various guides.
*There are showers and bathrooms on the campsite which were very clean. The shower pressure wasn’t great but still felt amazing after a long day of traveling & exploring!*

3 day desert tour from Marrakesh to Fes - Amazing trip. A great way to see the beauty of Morocco. We travelled to and spent a night in the Sahara which was the highlight, truly beautiful. Air Ben Haddou... read more was incredible too. Our driver Ismail was very accommodating, generous and always happy to answer questions. Pack generously for the cold at night in the Sahara, especially in the winter. We did not choose the luxury option for accommodation in the Sahara but from talking to people, it seems highly highly worth it. You get to go a lot further into the desert, have a hot shower, and I’m sure a better nights sleep.

Awesome Sahara experience  - An amazing experience from start to finish! Along the drive we got to see so much of what Morocco has to offer outside of the city with breathtaking views the... read more whole way. The Sahara stay itself is incredible with Camel Rides, Nomads, Berber cuisine and great music.

We also had an amazing driver and guide Houssine who looked after us very well.

For the camp it is well worth booking the luxury accommodation with your own private bathroom.

A trip made by the people - I went on a 2-day trip to Zagora desert and the highlight of the entire experience was our driver and guide, Ismael.

Sat in the front, Ismael was incredibly... read more friendly and talkative, happy to explain everything to do with Morocco from his perspective, and offered a really honest view of tourism, politics, the experience of people during the lack of rain, and more! Ismael is really funny and we made jokes throughout the journey, making it seem much shorter than it was.

Ismael showed us really interesting stops along our journey and has a great understanding of the land. He also worked well with the Berber people running out desert camp, who were all fantastic and really engaging.

I cannot recommend this enough- Discover Sahara Tours is Ismael's own business and he was so excited to give tourists his version of the desert experience! Here are some photos.
