We recently finished an incredible vacation with Sahara Morocco Travel that took us from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi, and it well surpassed our expectations. From the initial pickup to the last drop-off, the entire experience was seamless and well-coordinated, which we, as two English couples, enjoyed. Our driver and guide were competent, amiable, and accommodating; they constantly made sure we felt secure, knowledgeable, and well-cared for. They were fluent in English and offered enlightening commentary all along the way. A memorable night spent in a desert camp under the stars, camel rides, and stunning sunsets were among the highlights of our trip. Throughout the journey, the food was excellent, and the lodgings, which ranged from tasteful riads to comfortable guesthouses, were well chosen. Anyone searching for a personalized and expert Moroccan journey that combines comfort, culture, and breathtaking scenery should definitely check out Sahara Morocco Travel.

My husband and I recently completed a 9-day tour with Sahara Morocco Travel, which was one of the nicest experiences we've ever taken. From Casablanca to Marrakech, with stops in the Sahara, Chefchaouen, and Fes, each destination exceeded our expectations. The Sahara trip was particularly remarkable. Despite the hard weather, Hamid and his colleagues at Desert Camp provided excellent hospitality, and we even had the opportunity to ride camels again. Our guide and driver, Addi, made the trip stress-free, safe, and delightful. His warmth and personal touch made the vacation even more memorable. We appreciate the flawless experience and would recommend Sahara Morocco Travel to anyone visiting Morocco.

We recently got back from an amazing 6-day vacation that began and ended in Marrakech with Sahara Morocco Travel, which included three adults and two children. Ali made sure everything ran smoothly, and our guides Hassan and Addi added even more special touches to the trip. The Sahara, with its camel rides, ATVs, sandboarding, Berber culture, and henna, was the highlight. They were so considerate that they even planned a pool day for our children close to Merzouga. Every day was different, whether it was in the desert or the towns. We heartily suggest Sahara Morocco Travel—this has turned into one of our best excursions ever!

During the 6-day Erg Chebbi tour from Marrakech with Sahara Morocco Travel, our group of seven friends had an amazing time. Everything was meticulously planned and executed by Ali, who made sure the vacation fulfilled all of our requirements. The trip was safe, easy, and entertaining because to our driver and guide, Mohamed, who was outstanding in his expertise, local knowledge, and adaptability. He was always willing to modify the schedule to suit our needs and went above and above to help us during the journey. A highlight of our trip was our time spent in the Sahara Desert. The eggplant and meatball tagines that were served there were some of the nicest meals we had in Morocco, and the camp experience was amazing. We heartily endorse them to anyone wishing to travel around Morocco with knowledgeable assistance and authentic warmth.
