I booked this tour with the primary goal of photography, and it was an absolute dream. Every hour presented a new and stunning visual opportunity. Our guide, Youssef, understood this immediately. He was brilliant, often pointing out unique compositions and stopping at unmarked spots that offered the most dramatic light and breathtaking vistas, away from the tour buses.
The journey through the High and Middle Atlas Mountains offered incredible landscape shots, but the true prize was the Sahara. The “golden hour” camel trek into Erg Chebbi was phenomenal; the low sun cast long, elegant shadows across the sculpted dunes, creating a scene of pure texture and light. At the camp, I was able to capture the Milky Way in all its glory, thanks to the total lack of light pollution. Waking for sunrise was another highlight, watching the cool blue pre-dawn light slowly give way to the warm, orange glow on the horizon. Even the cultural stops were a visual treat—the earthen architecture of Ait Benhaddou against a brilliant blue sky and the sheer, rust-colored cliffs of Todra Gorge were spectacular subjects. This is not just a tour; it’s a 3-day mobile photography workshop through one of the most beautiful countries on Earth. Highly, highly recommended for any visual artist.
Traveling solo as a woman, safety and authenticity are my top priorities. This tour exceeded my expectations on both fronts. My guide, Hassan, was respectful, kind, and an excellent conversationalist. I felt completely comfortable and looked after for the entire three days. He was not just a driver, but a cultural ambassador, providing deep insights into the history of the kasbahs, the nomadic way of life, and the nuances of Moroccan society.
The journey itself was visually and culturally rich. I was captivated by the dramatic shift in landscapes, from the cedar forests with Barbary macaques near Ifrane to the stark, powerful beauty of the Ziz Valley dotted with palm groves. While the Sahara sunset was spectacular, it was the quiet moments that resonated most: sharing mint tea with our Berber hosts at the camp, listening to the profound silence of the desert at dawn, and watching local life unfold in the small villages we passed through. The tour strikes a perfect balance between hitting the “must-see” sites like Ait Benhaddou and providing moments for genuine connection. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to other solo travelers, especially women, looking for a safe, enriching, and deeply moving adventure.
Finding an activity that engages two teenagers and their parents can be a challenge, but this 3-day desert tour was a home run for our family. Our guide, Omar, was fantastic with the kids. He was patient, funny, and knew exactly how to connect with them, sharing stories and even teaching them some basic Arabic and Berber phrases. The pace was perfect, with enough stops to keep everyone from getting restless. The visit to Ait Benhaddou was a huge hit—the kids loved recognizing it from Gladiator and Game of Thrones and felt like they were exploring a real-life movie set.
The desert portion was, of course, the main event. The camel ride was a novelty that had them laughing the whole time. The desert camp was comfortable and safe, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. After dinner, the campfire with traditional music was a wonderful, screen-free way to spend an evening together. My son’s favorite moment was seeing the brilliant stars, and my daughter loved waking up for the stunning sunrise over the dunes. For any family looking to get out of the cities and show their kids the incredible diversity and beauty of Morocco, this tour is the perfect solution. It’s a lifetime memory for all of us.
Wow! This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Morocco. My partner and I were looking for adventure, and we got it in spades. Our guide, Ali, was a legend—he felt more like a friend than a guide by the end of the first day. He had an amazing playlist, a great sense of humor, and taught us so much about his Berber culture.
The drive itself is an adventure, winding through the epic Atlas Mountains and stopping at the jaw-dropping Todra Gorge where we walked along the river. But the Sahara… it’s pure magic. Riding camels into the vast emptiness of the dunes as the sun went down was surreal. The camp had an incredible vibe; after a delicious tagine dinner, we all sat around a campfire while our Berber hosts played drums and sang. We stayed up late, climbed a dune away from the camp, and just lay there watching the Milky Way. It was one of the most romantic and awe-inspiring moments of my life. The next morning, we even tried sandboarding down the dunes after sunrise, which was hilarious and so much fun. If you’re looking for an authentic, high-energy, and unforgettable experience, this is it. 10/10!
As someone who plans every detail of our trips, I was hesitant to book a package tour. However, this 3-day journey from Fes to Marrakech didn’t just meet my high standards; it completely shattered them. The logistics were flawless. Our driver, Ibrahim, was the consummate professional—punctual, an incredibly safe driver on winding mountain roads, and a wealth of knowledge that he shared without ever being intrusive. The vehicle was a modern, clean, and comfortable 4×4, essential for the long drives.
The highlights were numerous, but the Sahara experience was otherworldly. The “desert camp” is an understatement; it was a luxurious glamping setup with a comfortable king-sized bed, beautiful Moroccan decor, and a surprisingly modern en-suite bathroom with a hot shower. The camel trek was timed perfectly for sunset, creating a breathtaking panorama of orange and purple hues across the Erg Chebbi dunes. What truly set this tour apart was the attention to detail: the stop at a high-quality Argan oil cooperative (not a tourist trap), the scenic lunch spot overlooking a valley, and Ibrahim’s ability to find pristine, crowd-free viewpoints. If you think a desert tour means “roughing it,” think again. This was a seamless, comfortable, and profoundly beautiful experience. I cannot recommend it highly enough for those who appreciate quality and flawless execution.
