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!*

Ismail was a wonderful host - the visit to Ait Ben Haddou, the camel trek and the overnight stay in the desert was incredible.
Ismail is very knowledgeable, he... read more is from this area and we learned so much from him about the Berber people and the desert.

Great experience  - Our trip was absolutely incredible! Houssine was an exceptional guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to accommodate our needs. Along the journey to the Merzouga Desert, we made several stunning stops,... read more each offering beautiful sights or a unique glimpse into the rich culture of the Berbers and the country.

One of the highlights was the quad ride back from the desert camp. It was a fantastic experience that allowed us to explore the higher dunes and take in breathtaking panoramic views of the desert landscape. We highly recommend this (extra paying) option for anyone visiting!

A big thank you to Houssine and Jalal, our driver, for ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the trip, and for showing us the beauty of their remarkable country. We couldn’t have asked for a better 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.

Best two day tour outside Marrakesh amidst nature, mountain and desert!  - This trip was certainly a memory that we will all cherish for decades to come, particularly because of the raw and beautiful nature that we all experienced, topped with our... read more friendly and entertaining story teller/driver Mohammed that we had on our 2 days private tour.

Being private, it certainly gave us the flexibility of where and how long we wanted to stop during the journey. The Berber camp, its people and the hospitality was top notch, not to forget the amazing buffet dinner to end the day.

I definitely recommend this to all visiting Marrakesh and have 2 days to spare.

Lastly, I wish the whole team the best of success, especially Mohammed who is very hard working, talented, and driven. I hope we meet again in the future!
