To do - 3-day tour highly recommended.The second day is the best because you live in unforgettable desert experience.Our Imod guide was kind and helpful. The only flaw is that throughout the trip you are forced to have lunch in the places where they take you and often at the end of lunch they say a different price from the initial one

Breathtaking desert, Haadi best tour Guide ever! - Once in a lifetime experience! Long journey with various stops to visit all the most characteristic places of Morocco (canyon, Ait-Ben-Haddou place where time has stood still, typical shops that make paintings, carpets, mineral extractions, typical clothes, natural colors) crossing mountains and deserted fields, wonderful landscapes to get to the desert the real one, spectacular sunset quad bike ride, field in the middle of the dunes of the Sahara desert, really nice luxury rooms, great restaurant, music and lots of fun with the locals all friendly and extremely helpful. At dawn camel ride through the dunes, another unique experience! Our tour guide Haadi, a very prepared young and nice guy, kind and caring pampered us throughout the tour, explaining dozens and dozens of anecdotes related to Bedouin culture but not only; Haadi took care to satisfy all our needs without missing anything to anyone and then spend the last night together in the desert dancing and singing local music in the desert camp. We had a great time together with Haadi, I will gladly come back for a new trip with him 😊 Thank you so much Haadi, see you next time! 🥰

ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ ⵜⴰⴼⴰⵙⵜ – A Breathtaking Desert Journey with Haadi - This 3-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. Our guide, Haadi, brought incredible energy, knowledge, and care to the journey—he made the whole group feel like family. The route was stunning. We crossed the majestic Atlas Mountains, visited the dramatic Todra Gorge with its towering canyon walls, and stopped near Erfoud, where we learned about Morocco’s ancient marine fossils. Even though it was March and the Valley of Roses wasn’t in bloom, the landscapes were still beautiful and full of character. The desert experience itself was just magical—riding ATVs over the dunes at sunset, sandboarding, and soaking in the vast silence of the Sahara under a deep twilight sky. The camp was peaceful and well-organized, with warm hospitality and great food. No fire, no cliché—just raw, quiet desert beauty. Our group even created a WhatsApp group called ⵜⴰⵎⴰⵣⵉⵖⵜ ⵜⴰⴼⴰⵙⵜ (Amazigh Adventure), because this truly was a journey rooted in nature, culture, and connection.

Best trip ever with the greatest guide/driver - The best trip! All of the food was amazing, the accomodation on both nights was way better than expected. Hesham was the best guide, he knew so much information and made sure we had so much fun as well as driving so safe in the busy towns. It was my friends birthday on the trip and he helped us get a cake in the desert! Unreal trip!

Unique experience, flawless IMAD driver 🥹❤️ - IMAD was much more than a driver, he guided us throughout the trip, giving us explanations about what we encountered on the road ... Imad was impeccable, he made us totally immerse ourselves in our journey with typical music during the bus ride, taught us the words of their language and was super helpful in responding to everyone's needs! Beautiful tour, we made many stops in places that can only know the locals, so I highly recommend this tour! We stopped in villages, we visited a Berber house and plantations, we stopped at a place where they made us try on typical desert clothes and made us henna tattoo for free!!! Absolutely recommend, I would rechoose it a thousand times 🥹🥹🥹

Fantastic trip into the desert - Amazing trip! It was very well organized filled with beautiful scenery, fun activities, and wonderful memories. Hesham was an extraordinary guide and host! If you get the same guide (see photo), you will be in good hands! Thank you Hesham for the amazing experience.

The Most Amazing Experience - This tour was just amazing. We were a group of 29 study abroad kids who came and they were very hospitable, welcoming, and accommodating to our very large group. Our tour guide, Said, was just incredible. He taught us so much about the history, culture, and environment of Morocco. Definitely recommend requesting Said as your tour guide! The tour was amazing and so much fun! The hotel we stayed in was great, and we had an awesome time on the camels, ATVs, and sand-surfing. This tour is perfect for study abroad kids who have a long weekend or anyone who would like to see the Sahara Desert and Merzouga from a native point of view.
