The testimonials for our 5-day tour from Tangier to Marrakech

An unforgettable journey from Tangier to Marrakech:

The 4WD vehicle was also really comfy, and as someone who is prone to motion sickness, I was absolutely unaffected even while driving up and down winding mountain roads! Hamza also knew the best areas to snap photographs, how to obtain restaurant discounts, and where to go based on our budget. He also assisted us in carrying our luggage to the riads and would drop us off and pick us up as near to the entrance as feasible. Overall, Hamza and Morocco Desert Tour made our Moroccan visit really comfortable, easy, enjoyable, and unforgettable – thank you so much!!

Also, a hint for future travelers: pack a phone or USB with a lot of music for lengthy vehicle rides:) and certainly, make time to stay overnight in the Sahara desert, the stars are magnificent! Other friends who stayed overnight with other companies reported that the camels were stinky, that the bathrooms were squat, and that the communal tents were huge and chilly, but with Morocco Desert Tour, the camels were properly cared for, and we had individual tents with mattresses.

Marrakech from Tangier in 5 Days

This tour business and tour guide, Ali, come highly recommended! We were three females on a graduation vacation who were concerned about traveling across Morocco alone and opted to arrange a tour, which turned out to be the finest choice we could have done! The organization was incredibly helpful in fitting in all of the locations that we wanted to see, as well as bringing in their own recommendations, and they were quite simple to work with.

Hamza was easygoing and personable, making the five days seem more like a road trip with a buddy than a rigorous tour with a tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about Moroccan history, never rushed us, and was also a lot of fun – he let us stop near Ifran in a field of snow and join us in a snowball fight, he assisted us in mattress-surfing down the sand dunes in the Sahara desert, and he let us listen to music the entire trip. Hamza was really attentive, changing the air conditioner, washing the windshield anytime we wanted to snap a shot and having the vehicle cleaned inside and out on a regular basis to ensure that we were always comfortable while traveling.

Unforgettable experience

For five days, Mouha was our guide. The excursion includes pickup from Fes, a drive to the Sahara with lunch, a camel ride to a luxury camp, a nighttime meal with a drum circle around the campfire, an overnight stay at the camp, breakfast, and a camel ride back to private transportation. The Sahara was a one-of-a-kind, strange experience. Mouha is a gifted photographer with a unique eye. He volunteered to snap some stunning photographs of our group. We next went to see monkey feet and slept at Hotel Babylon in Dades for the night. We went to Dades Gorge and had another outside meal, this time with wonderful tajines. Mouha brought us to the snakey route that twists back and forth up the mountain before we left for Marrakesh. Mouha made a few shopping stops on the route to Marrakesh. We were able to purchase magnets, henna, and Terra Cotta tajines at local pricing, as well as beautiful tangerines in season and a fantastic farewell meal. He is really enthusiastic about his homeland, as seen by his storytelling. He has traveled extensively around Morocco and offers an in-depth description of everything. He takes you on an authentic Moroccan adventure, avoiding tourist traps. He was very courteous, making sure we were comfortable in the private transportation, properly supplied, and stopped anytime we needed to use the restroom. Mouha was a big hit with our party of four ladies, who enjoyed sharing meals, laughs, and jokes with her. Mouha felt like family after the third day. I strongly advise you to hire him for your future vacation to Morocco, whether it’s only to see the Sahara or for more! Basah (thank you)!!!

The Hassan 5-Day Desert Tour from Tangier to Marrakech was one of the most memorable experiences of our lives!

The three-day private desert excursion from Marrakech was one of the most unforgettable experiences of our life! Hassan, our guide, ensured that everything went well. He is really knowledgeable and kind, and he patiently answered all of our concerns. We learned a lot about the culture and history while having a great time!

The five-star desert camp and camel ride were incredible! It’s very lovely. The food was excellent. The atmosphere and live music are very enjoyable.

The first night, we slept at a beautiful hotel. We proceeded to a view pool, where I received a message. The supper and breakfast buffets were both outstanding.

The excursion is highly recommended. Hassan is a fantastic driver and tour leader!
