If you are looking for a real experience into the Sahara desert, this quad biking tour is the best. I highly recommend Mohamed as a tour guide. We had some many stops to enjoy the views and had a tea with a local family. Mohammed was very informative, funny and knowledgeable. He provided the sanitizer and face masks. Go for it!!

I really enjoyed my trip with Hiking Nomads in Morocco. My friend had recommended the 3days tour and it was just as described. As a female solo traveler I felt comfortable the entire time as the Hiking Nomads team took good care of me, even when I fell sick. Besides the beautiful landscape and the great accommodations (that was much better than that of other travelers who had chosen a different travel agency but paid the same price!), I also got the most delicious breakfast in all of Morocco. All my meals were prepared fresh by the family. Overall a great experience in a family environment.

Merzouga is a small town on the edge of the Sahara Desert of Erg Chebbi. Merzouga is only 20 km away from Algerian border where the paved road ends Sahara Desert sand dunes begin. Merzouga desert is the most common destination in Morocco for Camel treks and desert camps. To experience the Sahara desert dunes it is a must to take a break and stay in a luxury camp. The camel trip takes about 1 hour through amazing red-orange sand dunes at sunset to reach the sahara desert camp where you will be served wonderful and rich dinner, enjoy a musical play with the staff around blazing fire. But note it is at least a ten hours drive from the erg chebbi dunes to Marrakech. The trip is possible in 3 days however we recommend a slow pace over 4 or 5 days.
Inclusions: Dinner, Air-conditioned vehicle, All Fees and Taxes, Private transportation
Exclusions: Lunch, Soda/Pop

This company refused to provide the tour unless I paid them more than what Tripadvisor had already charged me. Tripadvisor had confirmed the tour and billed my credit card $180, but Enjoy Travel Morocco asked for an additional $80 saying that Tripadvisor wasn't paying them enough. Whether the tour company was trying to exploit a client for more money or there was a misunderstanding between Tripadvisor and the tour operator, I was left to cancel my tour at the last minute and scramble to find another one for the next day.

We did a 6 day trip starting in Marrakech and finishing in Casablanca. I definitely recommend booking with Morocco Soul Tours. Communication was great from the start as it took some time to tailor the trip to everything we wanted to do. Youssef was our driver and guide and he was fantastic and had a great knowledge of Morocco. We got to stay a night in the Sahara and had a local guide show us around Fes. We booked our own hotels though as found that it was cheaper that way. The car was clean, safe, and comfortable. Overall, recommend booking with them. It is difficult to hit all of the spots on your own given the size of the country and how far places are from each other. You need a car to get around, and recommend a driver that knows the area.

My experience with Toubkal Guide strongly demonstrates that it is the premier guide service for Toubkal trekking. Due to Covid, I had to reschedule my trip several times. Throughout this process Jamal patiently and kindly responded to numerous e-mails and changes in plans. My trip with Toubkal Guide went without a hitch. Jamal himself met me at the train station in Marrakech, and transported me to Imlil Lodge. The lodge met all expectations. Beautifully decorated in the Berber style, it was a treat just to experience the lodge. Food was excellent and plentiful. My guide on the trek was Ibrahim. I could not have asked for a better guide. Ibrahim did everything in his power to make my trip a safe and successful experience. If you are going to trek with Toubkal Guide soon, ask for Ibrahim. Jamal, too, assisted so kindly in all aspects of my stay. He is an outgoing person, with a warm personality. Jamal and his staff are Berber. What better way to truly experience this fascinating culture than through Berber people themselves. Having been vaccinated, and armed with a negative PCR test for Covid, I had no problems whatsoever, entering Morocco. Jamal can also refer you to an approved testing site within a short walk of the Medina for your return test. The test cost approximately $60 US, and was ready the same day it was administered. Now is a wonderful time for a visit. The trail is not crowded, the weather is warming, and the Moroccan people are so welcoming. What a memory!

The castle made of sands was a stunning intro to the desert and along with with upbeat staff and the best host Mr Mohamed Achoui, you really couldnt ask for more. The camels are lovely, they brought us to the magnificently set up Amazigh tents 45mins into the dunes.So colourful the design and the nighttime entertainment was out of this world. Drummers heaven. Sunrise in this set up will never be forgotten. i spent about 4 days in total there and i have sent family and friends. Highly recommend

The entire Tour exceeded my expectations. Azis was a great and patient driver. This tour was the HIGHLIGHT of our trip, We were picked up at our agreed location. We toured Aiit Ben Haddou with an awesome guide by the name of Mohan (spelling). We had plenty of time for pictures once we arrived. we had a delicious lunch on a rooftop with beautiful views. we then headed out to our overnight stay and the rooms were already set up for us. The food was AMAZING. We had a great night stay with beautiful views. The following day was the highlight of our trip. We rode on camels to our camp where the locals where preparing dinner for us and we had a bonfire before going to bed. We also purchased the turbans at the Berber family's store which was great to have during our camel ride. I was able to sandboard and rent quads for my daughter and I . The bathrooms are clean. Don't forget to tip the locals :) . This was the best experience ever!!! Bring snacks, water and toilet paper for the road trip. There is also stores and cute cafes on the way, which is a perfect time to get out and stretch your legs. I didn't think i would be able to be out on such a long tour but, this company made EVERYTHING worth while.
