Moroccan Sahara

The largest desert in the world, extending between 800 and 1,200 miles and at least 3,000 miles from east to west, covers one-fourth the area of Africa including the lands of Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Tunisia and Egypt.

Reviewed By Marf13669 - Ogdensburg, United States

We took the road from Ouarzazate to Marrakesh and were blown away by the natural beauty of the area as we drove on narrow roads with many switchbacks, climbs and declines through The Draa River gorge that were cut into the earth years ago. The Draa Valley is home to Berber villages with its Kasbahs, sand dunes, and lush green plains. It begins its journey from the snow-capped Atlas Mountains and 1100 km. later drains into the Atlantic Ocean. It is Morocco’s largest river. Our trip took us through the high Atlas Mountains with its many deposits of copper, iron and other metals turning the mountainous soil into mounds of reds, greens, blacks and other earthen tone colors. The trip took us through Col du Tichka, Morocco's highest mountain pass at 7410 ft which lies above the Marrakesh plains and gateway to the Sahara Desert. The trip was spell-binding.

Merzouga Desert

Reviewed By riddlestory - Vyshneve, Ukraine

Merzouga is a small village in the southeast of Morocco and it is the last settlement in front of the boundless desert - the gate to the desert... Here people come from all over the world to see the real elements - a sea of bright orange sand, to ride a desert ship - camel and fall in love once and for all times in this oriental tale. We preferred to meet the dawn in the desert, but stopped to spend the night in a small town of pink color - Erfoud, where the locals kindly provided us with a roof with a mattress and pillows so we could get some sleep before we go to the desert. The brightest thing that is remembered in this area is the night sky. Illuminations of small towns cannot give so much light to cover the light of distant stars and so the sky in the desert is studded with diamonds and it is impossible to forget it... We did not fall asleep that night, admiring the light of the silver stars, we forgot about the time, and at 3.00 o'clock in the morning, it was time to move into the desert to see how the reddened sun rose from the sand dunes and changed the color of the endless desert from gray to bright orange.

Very nice one day walk in the back country surrounding Ouarzazate. Great experience driving Buggys on the tracks, in the oued and in the mountain.

Le Paradis du Safran

Reviewed By laurelm474

This small saffron farm truly is a paradise, a relaxing and restorative break from the hustle of the cities, a destination worth the trip (45 minutes from Marrakech) for its beauty alone. Everything within this garden is lovingly cared for, which radiates through its blooming plants and healthy, happy animals. Christine and her staff provide a warm welcome with her stories and their tea with home-made traditional bread. It is worth your time in any season.

Reviewed By nataliabonetaa

My brother and I booked the trip via whatsapp, they gave us total flexibility in our activities and timetable, they came to pick us up even we arrived very early in the morning, the night in the camp was incredibly good and the food even better. We did a tour by 4x4 in the dunes, a little hikke to a beautiful mountain, quads (the best experience we’ve ever had) and other activities, we learned a lot about moroccan culture, food and music thanks to mohammed. In conclusion, if you want to visit the sahara desert we highly recommend this tour, he’s super nice, helpful and amazing driver????

Jardin Majorelle

Nicely designed and maintained gardens, similar to those of Generalife in Granada, Spain. It’s a good place to recoup from the intensity of the market atmosphere.

Anti-Atlas Mountains

Reviewed By edc338 - Arlington, United States

Our tour made a long day's drive from Erfoud to Aït Benhaddou. Having traveled from Ouarzazate to Erfoud via N10 in the valley between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountains, we made the return trip via N12, R108 and N9 through and over the Anti-Atlas Mountains. Being significantly older than the High Atlas, these mountains are lower. However The trip is beautiful and barren. In many areas the scenery can be described as Lunar. N12 runs northeast-southwest through a plateau. At Tazzarine we turned west onto N108 which was a shorter route to N9 which heads northwest over the Tizi-n-Tinififft pass back to Ouarzazate. The trip up the pass was followed several dry, picturesque canyons. The pass itself provided a look along an impressive canyon. It also had a couple of stone huts which were "staffed" by the ever present souvenir hawkers. There are no facilities at the top of this pass.

It was amazing drive through the Valley with it's palmeries and people still living along the river because most families are firmers. We stoped by some very good photo spots. Local recently used irrigated system.
