This was a fabulous trip, so relaxing, such a taste of the variety of the different environs in Morocco and the history of the areas. Our driver and general guide were so knowledgeable and accommodating that this trip was the number one of my lifetime

We had a very good time on the tour. Especially our driver Abderrahim and our guide Ali were great. They were very accommodating and nice, and always offered to get us water or take photos of us. Ali always provided us with information about the places etc we drove through and once even got me extra medication when I wasn’t feeling so well. Abderrahim drove very carefully so that we never felt uncomfortable in the car. The tour was well planned and the sometimes very long car rides were easy to bear. The tour is definitely recommended for everyone who wants to escape the big tourist hustle and bustle and still wants to see all the important places.

We are a couple from the U.S and were recommended this tour operator by friends, we were staying in Marrakech for a couple of days and thought of doing a little tour around the country heading either north or south, we’ve been in touch with Abdou our tour organizer and suggested this 4 day Sahara desert tour at this time of the year, and indeed it’s been one of our best journeys ever, bearing in mind we’ve never been in a Sahara desert before.
The whole itinerary was perfectly organized and I’m absolutely sure it couldn’t be better.
The drive, the scenic road with countless beautiful villages, Kasbahs, guided visits, food, and people.
We enjoyed the camel ride to our camp and the camp itself which was fancy from the inside.
There is no doubt we will recommend you guys, thanks from the bottom of our hearts.

Amazing experience:
This tour was amazing. We did not have the chance to watch the sunset due to weather condition but we saw the the sunrise. It was unbelievable!!! Thanks so much to Abdou, he was our driver from Marrakech to Merzouga, super nice, helpful and funny. The camel part was a bit hard but worth it. Hope they can give better instructions tho, sometimes we felt a bit lost of what we have to do next.

Our journey from Marrakesh to merzouga with Abdou our guide was nothing short of extraordinary. The breathtaking scenery created unforgettable moments and Moubarak personable approach added a special touch to the experience, making it truly excellent.
Though our time in the Sahara was brief, Zaid our host at Sirocco Luxury Camp, shared captivating insights into nomadic life, adding a very special touch to our experience.
Our only regret was not spending more time in the Sahara and utilizing Amar for the majority of our trip.

Deep Morocco tours was outstanding from the first introductory email to the last hug. In the process leading up to our trip they were responsive to our feedback, outstanding in their planning and clear on every detail. Once we landed it was a completely personalized experience where we felt we had the perfect amount of attention and autonomy.
Abdou was our guide to the Sahara and by the end of the trip he felt like a member of our family. We learned so much, experienced such rich culture and loved every aspect of our trip. Thank you so much to Ahmed and Abdou for making this trip so outstanding. Our key highlight was the Sahara featuring Palais des dunes luxury camp.
I would highly recommend Go Marrakech Desert Trips if you are planning to visit This beautiful country !

Magical! If you’ve longed to immerse yourself in an exotic World far from home, then Morocco should be among your top destinations to adventure to. And we found no better Private Tour and Guide experience then (Go Marrakech Desert Trips) operated by Abdou and Dounia. As Moroccan Berber natives their wealth of knowledge and insight into the Country from ancient medinas to Luxury Desert camps made planning and traveling easy. The Cultural insights that were shared along the way and the thoughtfulness of their efforts to ensure everything went smoothly was very much appreciated. As this tip came from a fellow traveler, I wholeheartedly would pass it along that Deep Morocco Tours should be on your short list for your next adventure!

My wife and I took a 3 night 4 day trip to the Atlas mountains and Sahara. The tour was very well planned and all the hotels were really nice. We are vegetarians and our food preferences were well taken care of as well by the hotels. The trip was made more interesting by locals and Berber people sharing their experiences everywhere, all planned for by the tour operators. Abdou will be our go to guide for all Moroccan tours, he is very friendly and knowledgeable. The car was comfortable and clean as well.
