An interesting experience for first time desert goers.Posted on Jet55580682735Verified A great alternative route to Fez from Marrakech Ismail was a great tour guide. Stops on the road were well spread out and interesting. We were kept informed of the plan everyday and he made sure everyone was comfortable and got what they needed. It's a lot of time in the car (to be expected) and it was cold in the desert in December so plan accordingly!Posted on Dakota FVerified Desert tour with great guides Yousef is the best super fun and knowledgeable he made the tour so special we had so much fun with him he was the life of the party and everything went well because of him and Jafar jafar os the best driver in Morocco this was my favourite experience here you have to do it !Posted on Jaden TVerified Sahara in Style I had the most amazing Sahara trip with Morocco Tour! The guide, Moha, and the driver, Jaafar were great and treated me and everybody else on my tour like family. The stops made along the way towards the desert were led by local guides and were well thought out. The desert camp was the highlight of the trip, starting with arriving by camel. The tents were clean and modern, and had electricity along with hot water. Along with these amenities, there were other activities such as sand boarding and a sunrise atv ride. 10/10 would recommend to anybody who wants to see the Sahara and values excellent hospitality.
