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

EXCELLENT Based on 358 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Nicola BVerified Un viaggio da favola Abbiamo prenotato il nostro viaggio di nozze con Desert Discovery Tours ed è stata un'esperienza fantastica. Mustapha è stato gentilissimo e ha prenotato per noi delle strutture davvero bellissime, mentre Brahim, il nostro driver, è stato davvero professionale, disponibile e molto simpatico. È stato un piacere attraversare il Marocco con lui! Le due guide, a Fes e Marrakech, erano molto professionali e ci sono piaciuti molto entrambi i tour. In soli 12 giorni abbiamo visitato il Marocco in tutte le sue sfaccettature, facendo esperienze autentiche e indimenticabili, e apprezzando la bellezza di paesaggi mozzafiato (l'oceano, il deserto e le montagne dell'Atlante). Consigliamo vivamente questo tour a chi voglia visitare il Marocco nel miglior modo possibile.Posted on Tripadvisor DayTrip56989979233Verified Wonderful tour This was an amazing experience. Our driver, Mustapha, was a fabulous guide. We were so comfortable in the van and saw so many beautiful places. We had the perfect amount of time with guides and time on our own to explore. I would definitely recommend Desert Discovery Tours!!Posted on Tripadvisor Andrea BVerified A great experience in the desert All locations that we have visited are stunning and beautiful. This desert tour is such a wonderful experience. The guide has always been at our disposal for any of our needs and everything very well organized. I asked a lot of information before the tour directly via email and I always received clear and timely responses, which is a minor detail but contributes to making this a great experience overall.Posted on Tripadvisor Fabio PVerified Super Tour organizzato bene: in 5 gg abbiamo vistato tanti posti, dalle medine al deserto, alla città blu. Le strutture erano ben curate e il personale molto gentile. L’accompagnatore, molto preparato, e’ stato estremamente attento.Posted on Tripadvisor Ina BVerified Awesome two weeks in Morocco We used the 11 day tour itinerary as a starting point, added three days, and adjusted the tour to our liking. We flew into Marrakesh and left from Casablanca. Mustapha was super helpful to tweak the individual items and addressed all our questions quickly until we had it all planned out. Our trip was great! We were really surprised by the variety of things we saw and the beauty of landscapes throughout the trip. There was quite a bit if driving involved and we were really happy that we didn't have to do the driving ourselves, especially in the big cities. It was so much more relaxed to just sit and have someone drive who's used to that kind of traffic and knows his way around. We had the same driver for the entire time, which was really pleasant. In the cities we had specialized tour guides to show us around. One of our highlight was surely the two nights in the desert camp. It was a truly special experience and we were so lucky with the weather, having perfect conditions and no storms. The camp was very comfortable, the camel ride super fun and we highly recommend you don't skip it. We felt that the true value of a private organized trip is the peace-of-mind you get. There is no worrying about how to get from A to B, and you can just focus on enjoying your trip. It makes it so easy and worry-free. We can totally recommend Desert Discovery Tours, as they were great planning the tour with, considering our requests and organizing the whole trip very professionally. Our driver Youssef was super friendly and we felt that we were in good hands throughout.Posted on Tripadvisor Anand IVerified Unforgettable 9-Day Morocco Adventure with Desert Discovery Tours We had an amazing experience with Desert Discovery Tours in Morocco! Our 8-night, 9-day journey covered nearly 1,200 miles and was incredibly well organized from start to finish. A special thanks to Mustafa for planning such a thoughtful and seamless itinerary. Every detail was well coordinated, and the trip allowed us to experience so much of Morocco’s beauty, culture, history, and landscapes without ever feeling rushed. The Riad stays throughout the trip were absolutely awesome — beautiful, authentic, comfortable, and full of charm. They really added to the overall Moroccan experience and made each stop memorable. Hassan was exceptional — not only an excellent driver for the long distances, but also a friendly, patient, and knowledgeable guide throughout the journey. He always made us feel comfortable and welcomed. In several cities, we also had specialized local guides who added great depth and insight to the experience. Overall, this was a memorable, smooth, and unforgettable trip. Highly recommend Desert Discovery Tours to anyone looking for an authentic and well-planned way to explore Morocco!Posted on Tripadvisor GirishVerified Beautiful Morocco! We recently returned from a trip to Morocco organized by this fantastic team, and we couldn't be happier. From start to finish, everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful, ensuring our stay in this beautiful country was seamless. The itinerary was perfectly balanced; the pace was pleasant—giving us time to breathe—and the accommodations were consistently comfortable. A massive shout-out to our driver-guide, Brahim. He was more than just a driver; his great sense of humor and pleasant personality made the long drives feel like a highlight of the trip. The Sahara stay was a particular standout. Seeing the vast, quiet desert landscapes juxtaposed against the high energy of the bustling markets and towns was breathtaking. My only small critique would be that vegetarian food options were a bit limited in a couple of locations, but overall, the experience was world-class. Highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor Raj RVerified Morocco Trip Our recent trip to Morocco was truly unforgettable, and we owe a big part of that to TripAdvisor for organizing such a seamless experience. From start to finish, everything was thoughtfully planned and executed. The itinerary covered some of the most beautiful and culturally rich places, and every destination felt unique and well worth visiting. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was absolutely delightful—we got to experience authentic Moroccan cuisine, and every meal felt like a highlight in itself. A special mention goes to our guide, who was exceptional. He was not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and attentive. He stayed with us throughout the journey, making sure we were comfortable, informed, and fully immersed in the local culture. His insights and stories added so much depth to the experience. Transportation, timing, and overall coordination were smooth and stress-free, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy every moment of the trip. Overall, it was a beautifully curated experience, and I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore Morocco in a well-organized and enriching way.Posted on Tripadvisor Cosimo FVerified Mustapha k Tour che ha superato le mie aspettative, i riad scelti dall agenzia erano tutti molto belli e di alto livello.
