This 2-day desert trip from Fes to Marrakech was super good! It was better than we thought.
Our guide, Ahmed, was just great. He was very nice. He loves his work and Moroccan ways. He told us everything clearly and answered our questions. He always made sure we got what we wanted. It felt like a trip with a friend. Hassan is a good worker and a kind person. He made the trip special!
The whole trip was perfect. We saw all the important places and learned about real Moroccan life. The food was also yummy. And, we loved the big sand dunes and did fun things in the desert. This company tries hard to give you a great trip, not just a normal one.
If you want a real desert trip for your Morocco visit, pick this company. And ask for Ahmed!
It’s really simple. You only need to pay a small deposit, and you can do this via PayPal or bank transfer. You can pay the remaining balance in cash (in euros, dollars or dirhams) to your guide on the first day of your tour.

We know how important it is to have a space that’s just for you, so our luxury and standard camps are private. The only difference is that the standard camp has shared bathroom facilities, which is great if you like to save a little money.
Yes, because the desert is so far away from the bright lights and pollution of the city, you can see the stars so clearly at night.
The journey to the camp takes about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours each way. Note: if you prefer, you can take a 4×4 vehicle to the camp as an alternative
Often available, especially in luxury camps
