I booked the three day two night trip to the desert with Discover Sahara Tours. The communication with them via WhatsApp was great, they were very attentive checking in with... read more me when I arrived in Morocco a d during the trip. The tour it's was very well organised, offered great value for money and the accommodation included was great - the first night was a 4* hotel! I would definitely recommend.

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.

Fantastic driver. English super good - SUPER!!! Fantastic driver, English fluent and full of tips and help. From Merzouga to Fes without any kind od problem

It was a great experience! Ismail was really nice with us.
The desert was magic and the Camel ride funny
We recommend this adventure.

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.

A tour you should never miss in your life? - I had a really unforgettable trip with Ismail who is full of responsibilities and smiled a lot. Although I traveled by myself, I never feel being left and alone. ... read more />
To Merzouga, with all the stars above my head, it’s one of my best memories in my life, it’s a tour really worth

Three days are quite long and passed so fast, I was so happy and lucky to meet the others members sharing the van, best experience ever!

此行的导游Ismail非常尽职且有责任感，反复确认上车时间以及下车是否安全到酒店。虽然这次是一个人的旅行，但同行的伙伴没有一刻让我感觉孤独。

The tent camp was extremely Nice . You could do Some sandboarding ! Really big fun for the kids ! The food was good ! Even the showers were Nice although we were in a tentcamp. At the evening there was Some live music and people starter dancing . The next day we went back by camel to our van to go back to marrakesh. This all was in good hands by our guide .

Girl’s trip - We went on a 2 days tour from Marrakech to Zagora desert, and it was an amazing experience! Really recommend it. It should be in your bucket list.
Ismail is... read more a very nice guy, always smiling, sociable and likes to explain the information about cities and Moroccan culture. He is a really good driver and very respectful.
On the first day, we passed through the Atlas in direction to Ait-Ben-Haddou, where we had a tour visit with Said to know a little bit more about berbere culture. We ate an amazing chicken tagine there. Then we head to Zagora, where we had a team of Caravane du sud waiting for us with the dromedaries. We had a 1h ride on the dromedary accompanied by our friendly guide, Mohammed, to our camp. We arrived just on time to watch a magical sunset in the desert. We chose a luxury camp, that was absolutely amazing, with a tent with all the commodities that we could need. The tent was heated, with carpets on the floor, beds for all of us, and private toilets with shower. We had dinner on a tent restaurant, with really good and traditional food. At night all the guests reunited around the bonfire listening typical music and dancing. The sky is absolutely amazing and perfect to see the stars. On the next day we watched the sunrise in the mountains (after a nice breakfast). Then we returned with Ismail back to Marrakech, with a stop in Ouarzazate and Middle Atlas.
Ismail was a really nice company, and made this experience unique! I felt very safe during the trip, and Ismail always let us comfortable to choose which places to visit during the trip.
All the organization made this experience even more pleasant. It was also richer to know more about Moroccan culture and discuss the differences between European culture.
Really recommend this experience.

p.s. just be careful riding the dromedary.

2 great trips . One amazing experience. - I found Discover Sahara Tours online when looking for trips for my wife's birthday whilst on holiday in Morocco. I was given lots of advice on different trips offered,... read more and settled for a 1 day private tour including quad biking and a romantic dinner for 2 in the Agafay desert, then a 2 day private tour to Essaouira from Marrakech.

Our driver Mohammad for both trips was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, polite, flexible, nothing was too much trouble and even though we can speak French he was happy to talk to us in English (his English was very good).

The 1 day trip to Agafay took us quad biking as a private tour away from any big groups. The company used were very professional, safe and fun. Then onto a camp in the desert where we had the most amazing private dinner in a tent looking out over the desert. Again the company used was superb, attentive staff with great food and polite musicians.

The 2 day trip to Essaouira from Marrakech built in stops at cooperatives to see how argan oil is produced, (No hard sell) then on arrival checked us in to a fabulous Riad called Madada (available through the Royal package we chose). The trip included lunch and dinner at local restaurants and a private guided tour of the town. Our guide Hassan was excellent. We were given plenty of time to explore by ourselves but Mohammad our driver was always available if we needed help or to take us to the restaurants.

Overall our experience was 1st class, a credit to exploring in Morocco. Thank you Rene for guiding us through and arranging the booking , and for being flexible when we had to make changes). Thank you Mohammad for being an excellent guide.
