My unique 4 days from Marrakech to Merzouga

Join us for a Moroccan adventure that takes you to the desert, via the High Atlas and its majestic gorges. We had Mouha as our private driver. In a brand-new vehicle, a well-maintained 8-seater minibus, we were very comfortable. Mouha was a great driver, he provided a lot of information about Morocco, and he was always very smiling, friendly, and helpful.
Thank you MOUHA for sharing our trip of 4 Days from Marrakech to Merzouga in such a good mood!
As we were told here: “Morocco first time then you will come back”.

Amazing Marrakech desert tour 3 days

It was a lot of fun! Better than expected, because we have seen more things! A cooperative of women who work with argan, we went into a Berber family house where they showed us how they make the carpets …. They also took us to a scarf store and gave us a very nice henna tattoo for free. The accommodations were very good and so was the food. At noon we stopped at restaurants for lunch, or you can also bring your food. There are some optional extras like the quad ride, which I highly recommend! We had a great time! The guide Said is very nice and does a lot of riddles and the driver Hamid too! The Berber family is the best! Very nice, simple, and welcoming! Go with Aziz Experience for the best Marrakech desert tour 3 days.

Best 3 Days desert tour from Marrakech with Family

An amazing tour! It is a unique experience. A mention to the driver Hamid for his kindness and for taking us from one place to another making the bus transfers as entertaining as possible with traditional music as well as music from the country you are traveling from. And also another mention to our guide on this tour Said, for his kindness, for making the tour only good moments in which you disconnect from everything and makes you spend a few days to remember that you will never forget how entertaining and fun they are.
A 10 out of 10 for this Shared 3 days desert tour from Marrakech, the company, and the guides.

3 Days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga dunes

If you visit Morocco, this Shared 3 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga is a must, and should not miss it. Very well organized, with very nice and helpful people. We were making stops and learning about different villages and their culture that Hamid was telling us about. Rachid our driver and Haid were amazing, they were on top of everything at all times. The transportation and the rooms in each accommodation were comfortable. The experience was spectacular. We had a Berber party, in the middle of a bonfire, dancing and drumming. We were able to see the stars. The people are very nice.
Highly recommended!

Wonderful Marrakech to Merzouga 3-day desert tour

We booked the Marrakech to Merzouga 3-day desert tour as a couple and were in for a surprise – it was an incredible and unforgettable experience despite the rain. Hamid, our tour guide, treated us like family and enriched the trip with his manner. For very little money, you get to see a lot of Morocco, its culture, food, and people. You may need to be a little open-minded when it comes to food, but nobody has to starve! Everything was well organized and all the people involved in the group tour were extremely friendly and accommodating. I can only recommend this 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour!
