3 reviews for 4-day Zagora and Merzouga Luxury Desert Tour

  1. Gaby Pigna

    My husband and I went on a 4 day Sahara desert tour from Marrakech via Merzouga & merzouga. There were a few local company options we found, but decided to go with this company from reading the trip advisor reviews and I’m glad we did our driver, Abdou was great he was very knowledgeable and added a great dimension to the trip like most per – organized trips you’ll always experience things you like more and things you like but overall it was a excellent trip and experience, there were many things we enjoyed about the trip but if we had to pick our favourites were Dades Gorges and our stay there on the third night, and seeing the stars in the Sahara if you’re feeling unsure about using local Moroccan travel companies this was one professional, safe, and we felt like we got our monies worth

  2. Lorenzo Mathiot

    We enjoyed so much this experience! We visited a lot of beautiful places, Always guided by a super nice driver Abdou! The experience was above my expectation, expecially when we went trough and slept in the desert camp! Absolutely adviced!

  3. Arushi Phull

    We did this tour in late April. I definitely recommend the experience if you want to gain unique Arab experiences.
    The trip is quite long but our driver Abderrahim was very friendly, and cheerful speaking both English and French and giving us a full description of the local information about everything we needed.
    The trip includes a lot of stops, meeting local people, and experiences of a lifetime. We had booked the luxury camp and everything was perfect. The camp provided electricity, a shower, a private bathroom, and a local music experience with drums. You get the chance to see both the sunset and sunrise while you are in the desert which was amazing.
    Breakfast and dinner which were included were delicious. The stops we did for lunch were in quiet touristic places, however, the food wasn’t bad. I would say it’s a must-do activity when you visit Morocco.
