From Marrakech To Fes Through The Desert Of Merzouga: Shared

Me and my boyfriend did this tour in February. We were joined by 4 others. Our driver was the lovely Mustafa. He was friendly and welcoming, spoke good English and made sure we were all happy and enjoying ourselves. The van was comfortable and although there is a lot of driving on this trip, we had lots of breaks at different view points/shops/cafes etc to stretch our legs. The tour around Ben Haddou was really interesting with a fun guide. The stay in the mountains was in a huge fancy hotel where we were the only guests so was a bit weird but I assume it gets much busier in the summer. The camel ride was great, and the berbers entertained us after dinner with lots of drumming and singing. We stayed in the middle accommodation which is just a bed in a tent but that's all we needed. It's VERY cold so be prepared and take lots of layers. We also really enjoyed the tour with Omar(?) around Goulmima Ksar, we learnt lots of history and about the way of life there. He even showed us inside his father's home. I would definitely recommend the tour, particularly if you have Mustafa as your driver!

Yes, the trip involves lots of driving. Our wonderful driver, Ahmed(?), stopped enough times to stretch, use the bathroom, purchase snacks, and even take pics. Our group was wonderful and some sights along the trip were gorgeous. The desert/dunes experience was well worth it! To be honest, we booked the luxury tents and there was never a disclaimer (either Viator/Tour Operator) that we would be separated from the non-luxury folks. We are bonding with a group of people for 2 days, we bought food and liquor to celebrate my bday with all of them and all of a sudden you want to separate/take us to a distant camp site with people we don’t know? Not cool. They did this to us also on the first hotel night, separating us from almost everyone else. Wanted to be clear in case you book with more people in separate reservations and don’t want to be separated.

We were with a group of 11 pax leaving Marrakech in a comfortable bus (normally for 17 pax). Beautiful trip. Excellent driver (Hamid) and co-driver (Samir). I can really recommend this trip

Poorly organized, the tent was extremely cold (don't do it in winter), the driving was very risky, my hotel room 1st night had no hot water. the desert camp had no water at all The tour is very ambitious (too much) ,1.000 km on 2 ways roads Not enough time to really enjoy these beautiful places, always in a rush. I think this could be organized better.

It was our first time in Africa, and we are glad we went with the tour. We got to see a lot in only a short 3 day trip. We got to cross riding a camel through the desert off our bucket lists, and the group we were with were all very kind. Only complaints were that we didn't always know where we were heading (the schedule wasn't very clear), and we were freezing at night at both of our accommodations, but that could've been poor planning on our part. Definitely bring dirham to pay for lunch (not provided), toilet paper, and hand sanitizer if you're worried about not having soap.

Une pure arnaque. Des heures de voiture. Nous n'avons pas vu ouarzazate le 1er jour. Le gérant de l'hôtel du palais des dunes qui a été menaçant en voulant nous voler 300 dirhams contre nos sacs et très insultant. Il nous a dit de laisser les sacs à lhotel. Pour après nous dire que c'était nous les menteuses et que si on donnait pas l'argent on allait dormir en tshirt dans le desert. Il était alcoolisé au volant (sentait l'alcool et des canettes de bière au sol. Quand je suis allée chercher les sacs il m'attendait en buvant à nouveau des verres avec ses "amis" sur le parking de son hôtel. Le chauffeur de taxi jusqu'à fes qui réclame encore de l'argent en plus pour nous rapprocher de lhotel. Le 3ème jour on a juste fait de la route et on a rien vu. C est du vol purement et simplement. Nous faisons régulièrement des excursions avec viator. J'exige un dédommagement.

すごくみんなが親切でよかった。特に夜の時間が色んな国の人と交流出来て良かった。ただそれまでに色んなところに寄って自然を沢山楽しめたが、イマイチ何をしているのかわからない時もあった。しかし総合的に見て最高のツアーでした！

Davvero unica, tour ben organizzato e la scelta di condividerlo con altre persone è l'ideale. Tutto si è svolto come previsto tranne che per una breve sosta agli studios che sarebbe dovuta durare di più e l'aver saltato la tappa alle valle delle Rose. Questo per colpa del ristorante scelto per la tappa ad Ait ben haddou, l'Oasis d'or, che ha tardato nel servizio. In generale la vera pecca del viaggio è stato proprio il cibo dei ristoranti "imposti" a pranzo e anche la sistemazione nell'albergo della prima notte, davvero pessima. Invece i punti forte sono stati il nostro driver che era molto prudente e le guide preparate e simpatiche, sopratutto Mohamed che ringrazio. Per quanto riguarda l'esperienza nel deserto, quella vale i soldi spesi e anche di più. Sia l'escursione in dromedario che la notte nell'accampamento berbero in cui siamo stati accolti calorosamente e con cena e colazione ottima. È un viaggio informale, secondo me non molto adatto a bambini piccoli. Un consiglio: preparate un piccolo zaino con il necessario per la notte nel deserto perché i vostri bagagli resteranno sul pulmino non essendo trasportabili nel deserto.

Excursion parfaite du début à la fin et conforme au descriptif. Concernant les logements nous avions opté pour des chambres privés. Le premier soir nous avons été logé dans une ravissante maison d’hôte, très conviviale. Pour la nuit dans le désert nous avons été surclassé dans une chambre avec salle de bain privative suite à une erreur de planning. Le reste du groupe avait opté pour la tente partagée et ont été moins satisfait de leur nuit. Bon à savoir : - le chauffeur vous dépose dans des restaurants pour le midi, cher et pas de grandes qualités. Vous pouvez néanmoins prévoir votre propre repas - lors de votre pause à Kasbah d’Aït ben Haddou, un guide attend le groupe à la sortie du bus. Prévoir 25Dh par personne
