Step into the real magic of the Sahara with a special overnight camel trek in the Merzouga desert, riding across the glowing dunes of Merzouga. This trip mixes calm, excitement, and learning about local culture as you ride your camel through the golden sands of Erg Chebbi, see one of the most beautiful sunsets in Morocco, and sleep in a desert luxury camp under a sky full of stars.

Marocco: una sorpresa meravigliosa
Grazie a DDT abbiamo potuto organizzare un tour del Marocco personalizzato, 4 adulti e un bambino di 10 anni. Paesaggi mozzafiato, traversata del Sahara con il cammello e notte nel camp nel deserto. Poi le città di Marrakesh, Rissani, Midelt, Ifrane, Meknes, Rabat, Voulubilis e Fes. Mohamed e’ stato una guida ed autista formidabile, molto gentile, disponibile ed attento alla guida. Grazie Moustapha per l’organizzazione, e grazie soprattutto a Mohamed per i bei giorni trascorsi insieme, i racconti, le risate la disponibilità e attenzione alle nostre esigenze.

Easy, chill, interesting
We were really happy with the experience. Our driver was called Rachid and it was really nice. We did breaks whenever we needed them, he would answer all our questions, and also tell us inside information about the places we’ve been, the people and culture. We also had a great time listening to music. Plus there were never any problems, pick ups and departures from all the hotels were always easy.

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.

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!!
