Mohammed was a wonderful driver and tour guide. He picked us right up at the Riad (hotel) the morning of our trip. We did the three day, two night experience and the itinerary was so much more than we expected it to be. He took us through the scenic routes of the country and made sure to make plenty of stops for the restrooms and snacks/drinks. The way to the Sahara Desert took about a day and a half but included several mini tours on the way, one being the Aït Benhaddou which is where several movies have been filmed. This three day tour also includes two breakfasts, two dinners and two nights of accommodations. When we arrived to the desert, a camel ride is included to get to the tents where you will stay for the night. ATVs (four wheelers) are also available for an additional cost. I highly recommend taking a camel to the tents but renting one of the ATVs for the trek back to the van. Best of both worlds! Lastly, I recommend upgrading to the luxury tents for the night in the desert. With this you get your own room and bathroom. All and all this was a fantastic trip that would surely be the highlight of your trip to Morocco.

Abdelkhalk was very friendly, took care of everything we needed. We had internet on the bus, there were frequent stops to go to the toilet or buy water or coffee. The guides were nice. I think everything was great. Thank you so much for everything.

Travelling through Southern Spain with a friend and decided this Desert trip was the perfect excursion for us. Pros: Great driver and staff. Abis was the best driver and guide, he helped us at every stop and felt very safe and comfortable all around. Value. Crazy for the price you get so much food and two nights lodging. Both the hotel and camp were comfortable and enjoyable. Sites. Plenty of sites and breaks the first two days. The desert. The highlight of the trip is definitely making it onto the dunes for sunset and waking up for sunrise. Cons: Lots of time in the van but it goes quickly if you have great companions and is comfortable.

Abdelkhalek was a fantastic tour guide, he was very patient and friendly. We appreciated the time he took to explain to us what was happening and when, he had a lot of interesting information about the places we were driving through as well that we are grateful he shared with us. I paid around $160AUD for this tour, did not upgrade to luxury so we came in expecting very basic services but given the price, this was incredible value for money. The sights you see are unbelievable, the tour guides are very helpful and kind and the ease of travel was a huge bonus. If I could recommend anything it would be to bring a hat and sunscreen as there are a few walks and outdoor activities that can take several hours and it is very hot so a hat and sunscreen is necessary. Bring your own purchased bottles of water too or cash as places do not have tap water for drinking but water is available for purchase. We all felt very safe and at ease with Abdelkhalek as our guide, he was even happy to stop several times to take photos and group photos too which was really nice ! I do not think you will find a better tour with this kind of value for money, we had an unforgettable time and we really appreciate Abdelkhalek and our tour guides for our daily activities !
