Take light clothes – It’s hot during the day and cold at night, so bring a jacket as well.

We were driven through the country at our pace, visiting where we desired most. The best part of the trip was the desert! Our guide was very friendly and entertaining! He was very knowledgeable and kindhearted.Posted on Matthew YVerified Wouldn't have toured Morocco any other way! One of the best tour experiences i have ever had was in Morocco with Desert Discovery Tours. It helped me really appreciate the country as a beautiful cultural place, and it has turned into one of the favourite countries I have ever visited.The planning and length of the tour was well thought out and I was able to experience all the attractions that I wanted to see. Itinerary was also flexible and we were able to pace ourselves comfortably. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and even the external tour guides that the company provided when it came to private city tours were very professional. Would totally recommend this tour for anyone who wants to discover Morocco!Posted on Marco CVerified Morocco in the family We rehearsed everything very well organized. The people were kind and prepared, the accommodation pleasantly picturesquePosted on Mario IVerified Good experience The tour from Fes to Marrakech was a very positive and well-organized experience, with beautiful landscapes all along the way, from the Atlas Mountains to the Sahara Desert.The desert of Merzouga was one of the most suggestive moments of the trip, as was the trekking in the Dades Valley, really cute and authentic. Cultural stops, such as the Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, also greatly enriched the experience.A special compliment to the guide Brahim, always kind, professional and helpful, who made the tour even more enjoyable. Experience recommended.Posted on Eva M.Verified Morocco unforgettable!!! My partner and I set off on a 3-day (and two-night) private tour from Marrakech to the Merzouga Desert, returning to Marrakech. Our driver Omar welcomed us warmly and made us feel immediately at home, indeed, the van that had been reserved for us (very modern, clean and comfortable) and it soon became our home. Our guide accompanied us safely to all the scheduled stops giving us different explanations in Italian, also fulfilling our every request or wish. A special mention to the Riad Rihana Dades Hotel where we slept the first night: very nice and comfortable room but above all sublime dinner (and breakfast)!!!! The tented camp in the desert was another pleasant discovery. Very nice and full of every comfort. In general, the planned program, which allowed us to discover many different landscapes and realities, was totally respected for the excellent organization of the agency. I would definitely recommend desert discovery tours both for efficiency and for the people we met and who took care of us with kindness and professionalism. Another driver we want to remember is Ahmad, who accompanied us on the last day to Marrakech showing preparation and kindness. Thank you all, it was truly an authentic and unforgettable experience. Eve and HenryPosted on Ana María RVerified The desert is a unique place, do not hesitate to do these tours. The trip has exceeded our expectations. Not only have we enjoyed the desert, but we have discovered incredible places in this country. The Dades Valley has fallen in love with me. I highly recommend this company, they are serious, friendly and great hosts.Posted on Nancy DVerified Awesome tour It was a trio of a lifetime. Our driver was friendly, contentious, and knowledgeable. Tours were awesome and the accommodations were full of character and history and were in wonderful locations. The desert tour was a highlight.Posted on Sara CVerified Surprise Morocco My husband and I booked a 3-day tour from Marrakesh to the Desert. The organization was precise and punctual, the agency helpful and kind. We visited beautiful places, we thank our guide Ibrahim who made the trip comfortable and interesting.Posted on giorgia rVerified Great tour An incredible experience, exceptional tour we saw incredible places, the hotels were all high quality, very kind staff. Thanks to our guide IbrahimPosted on Lance KVerified 9-day tour through Morocco We did a custom 9-day private tour starting in Marrakech, through Dades valley then the deserts near Merzouga, continuing to Fes, Chefchaouen, and ending in Rabat/Casablanca, with stops along the way. Highlight was camping in the Sahara desert -- riding camels through the sands to reach the campsite, feeling the soft orange sands run through your fingers, listening to the drums by the fire under the stars -- it was quite the sensory experience. Our guide/driver Hsaine / Hassan was punctual, professional, and knowledgeable in many subject matters, able to converse in multiple languages. Highly recommended.
