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.

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.

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!

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!

Me and my friend we book a trip to Essoura and we been pick up from Ismail. This guys was so nice in the way how treated us and how... read more knows his country! We really enjoy the trip and we will definitely return to book a tour with him. Thank you Ismail!

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.

Awesome Tour! - We booked 2 private trips, 1 quad biking with a meal in the dessert and the other a trop to Essouria. Both trips were with our amazing driver Mohammed. The... read more tour operator was very accommodating and responsive to communication. I maintain you never know how good a company is until you have a problem. I was unwell which meant we needed to move a trip. This was done with good grace and without issue, for this we are very grateful.

Both trips were amazing, we had a clean, air conditioned vehicle. The driver, Mohammed is a credit to the company, polite, professional and nothing was too much trouble. He genuinely wanted us to have a great time and is passionate about Morocco.

Thanks Sahara Tours for making my birthday so special.

Highly recommended and would definitely use again should we return to the country.

Super good experience - Our tour guide and driver Islaim was super nice and great all throughout the experience, we enjoyed every single moment, a lot of stops to enjoy the country side of... read more Morocco. 2 days very packed and enjoyable all throughout with various experiences. Great food and great people. Totally 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.
