Very good trip, nothing to add. Our driver Abdou is one of the reasons the trip went so well. We spent the first day visiting small villages, and all the places we visited were amazing. Welcoming and hospitable villages with a very good typical Moroccan Berber experience. The meals were delicious and inexpensive. The second night we spent in the desert, amazing view. We slept in tents under the stars, really cool. I recommend the trip 100%.

An exceptional and memorable stay despite the hours of travel. Morocco is very beautiful, and Moroccans are very welcoming. Our driver Abdou also contributed to the success of this trip. Very good driver, always in a good mood, very attentive to his passengers, we loved traveling with him. We recommend 100%, the trip, and the driver that accompanies it, plus all the other activities and people who made this tour a success!
Andrea –
Fantastique experience. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the south of Morocco. Abderrahim was the best driver!!! He was so accommodating and guaranteed a pleasant experience for all. This trip was so memorable and I am incredibly grateful to have booked with Go Marrakech Desert Trips and Abderrahim.

The 3-day trip was amazing. We have seen so much of the cities. Although it was quite touristy, with lots of people at all of the different stops, we still had a great insight into the landscape of Morocco. We saw beautiful places and I have the feeling I have seen some of the highlights in the country in only 3 days! All of the guides were super nice people especially our driver Abdu told us a lot about the country. He drove us safely everywhere and was very friendly. He deserves 6 stars out of 5.
Nicholas –
Abdou was amazing as a tour guide. Would 100% recommend the luxury option as the food was exquisite and the en-suite bathrooms were clean and modern. Large rooms. Camel ride saw the sunset, sunrise, and star was an out-of-this-world experience.

We spent 3 magnificent days, our driver Abdou was very friendly, thank you very much Abdou, Very varied and enriching program making dargan oil, discovery of weaving, an oasis, dressing in Berber outfits, sandboarding, sunrise and sunset sun in the dunes of Merzouga, night in a tent….). The team in Merzouga was very friendly and attentive, we ate well and had a good evening with Sahrawi music.
We danced, laughed. These are pleasant moments that we will never forget.
We were very well received. I recommend you with your eyes close 😍
Steve Daniels –
Great desert experience I recommend!
Lots of hours of driving but it’s worth it. Abdou our driver was great.
Small downside for the accommodation on the first evening.
And for lunch restaurants: expensive and obligatory tourist traps while other small restaurants nearby are twice as expensive and in a much nicer setting.
Regarding the camps in the desert, nothing to complain about: the site is incredible, the tents are very good, the meal is very good.
For the price to do it again without hesitation!!!
Violetta Masked –
Amazing shared experience. Travel with Anca Sarbu the guide and Abdou the TOP driver, they were very friendly and warm from the start. Everything is super beautiful, the experience in the TOP desert. We recommend 100%

An exceptional trek with magnificent landscapes and culturally magical.
A huge thank you to our guide Abdou for the magnificent person he is, as much for his explanations, his kindness and his infectious laugh haha. Don’t change anything Habibi everything was perfect
Colin Kula –
Abdou was an excellent driver. he knew how to punctuate the journey with cultural and necessity breaks (toilet), always of quality. The guides for the different tours were very good. the opportunity to discover Berber history and a variety of breathtaking landscapes. finally, the catering and accommodation were quality. Be careful, water is not always taken into account in meals. Above all, we will remember a warm atmosphere and top-notch organization. thank you everyone
Curtiss Tiffiny –
Excellent 3 day shipping. By far, my best experience in Marrakech.
The stay in the camp and at the hotel was very successful. The atmosphere was very good and I had a lot of fun even though I was alone. I have one regret: not having done Quad on the 3rd day even though everyone who did loved it.
Special mention to the guide Abdou who helped create a good atmosphere
Zack Brock –
A very warm welcome and trip!
Many thanks Abdou.
A 3-day excursion: beautiful discoveries of this beautiful country, wonderful encounters, brightness and sounds fill my heart.
An intense moment in this beautiful human adventure, Thank you so much
Dounia.
Susan Karsh –
Very good experience with Abdou.
We visited Ait Ben Haddou and the Todra Gorge with another guide.
The experience of riding a camel in the desert is incredible and worth a dream. The night in the first hotel was wonderful, a very clean room and a delicious meal, a clean swimming pool as well. We stopped some time in the Valley of Roses, the same for the city of Ouarzazate, we stopped there to visit the film studio and we saw almost everything.
I recommend this tour, with Go Marrakech Desert Trips it was a wonderful experience!!
Ricker Maryjo –
Definitely one of the best tours I have ever done. Unforgettable experience, very complete and authentic, with the top guide Abdou.
All the stops during the ride were awesome. We were able to discover a little more about Moroccan and Berber culture and traditions. Good food and accommodation, as well as guided tours! Ultimately much more than the camel ride which was the icing on the cake of this trip.
Special mention to Abdou and Dounia for their enthusiasm, they did everything to make this weekend perfect!
I recommend 200%!!
Shazia –
We spent 3 days of pure happiness, wonderful landscapes, unforgettable activities and unusual hotels. We will remember it and I recommend this trip 200%. In addition, our driver Abdou was great, very kind and very welcoming.
Erica Erman –
The experience is magical! A very big thank you to our driver Abdou who was perfect throughout the stay. Unusually kind and very attentive. Then, he was always there to answer our questions.
John Jones –
What a magnificent experience!
Individual support as close as possible to the hotel.
A pleasant trip in the air-conditioned bus and above all excellent guides.
A lively evening under the stars
Surfing on the dunes, trips in camel caravans, good Moroccan cuisine, what more can we hope for?
If you are lucky enough to be accompanied by guides like Abdou,
(for the trip) or Dounia upon arrival you will be in heaven.
Larry Wilson –
Magnificent stay of 3 unforgettable days, the Berber village excursion part as well as the Sahara part, especially our guide Abdou was an excellent attentive guide and an entertaining driver throughout the trip, I recommend.
Lowe Max –
We had a wonderful stay with our guide Abdou. The activities were very well explained throughout the day. There is a lot of transport, but the stops during the day are magnificent and allow us to discover Morocco from another angle. Abdou made the journey less long by playing Moroccan, Berber music and our musical choices. Spoke both English and French and helped us with the locals. I recommend this activity to anyone!! Finally, no hassle with luggage. Everything is taken care of by the guides and your luggage follows you everywhere. Backpack or suitcases, both can be used!
Virginia Littlefield –
Lots of time to enjoy and have fun in the sand with a board to slide. Well planned schedule and very friendly and funny guide Mohammed. Moroccan driving, very good reflexes from the driver. Very interesting visits along the route. Beautiful accommodation and comfortable night in the desert.
Tindal Mayra –
Abderrahim gave us an extraordinary experience. We enjoyed every moment. Every activity was great: crossing the sand dunes by camel and quad at sunrise and sunset will remain moments engraved in our memory forever.
Thank you for sharing Moroccan culture with us during this stay. We highly recommend it!!
Amelia Dennis –
These 3 days spent traveling through the desert from Marrakech to Merzouga were simply brilliant!
The landscapes are splendid, the locals met during the visits are very kind and welcoming.
Special mention for Abdou our guide and Morad our driver because without them this excursion would have been very dull!
If you are adventurous and like meeting new people (you will) don’t hesitate!
Brent Fouch –
What an experience! Beautiful encounters, breathtaking landscapes, friendly and multilingual guides, perfectly decent restaurants… The only downside to the hotel’s food… Low-end, whether the dinner (served at barely lukewarm) or breakfast… What a shame when you see how Morocco is full of good things!
You have to expect to do a lot of driving, but frankly we had a great driver! Saïd, careful, friendly and who introduced us to local music all along the road, which contributes to the immersion… The road allows us to see the landscapes, the time is optimized to help us discover places incredible, just lacks a little freedom…
In short, this excursion is worth the detour, I recommend it.
