Fantastic experience
Me and my family had an amazing trip with Sahara Desert Excursions. The initial communication and booking was hassel free and very prompt answering all our questions. On day one we met our driver Yousef, what a wonderful and helpful person, who made the trip even better , who was not only the driver but our guide as well as he explained the history as we drove through the different areas. We had a private vehicle, which its definitely worth paying that little extra for as you have a long journey. The vehicle was a new air condition 8 seater. Our first night was at the beautiful dades valley at Raid Dades where mustapha looked after us and it was a lovely Moroccan style accommodation we got three large on suite rooms and don’t worry about tents in the desert they are luxury with all the creature comforts even wifi and charger ports for your phone. We travel extensively and this was one of our best trips ever and in large part to Yousef and his team.

Great experience!
Such a great experience. We enjoyed every minute. The guides in Marrakesh and Fes really brought out the story of the cities that we might not have understood by ourselves. The travel to and from the desert was beautiful. Our driver/guide stopped along the way to point out sites and stopped when we asked when we saw someting of interest. The time in the desert was magical. All of our accommodations were locally owned and high quality. I will recommend Sahara Desert Excursions—Hammou and his staff again and again. You won’t be disappointed.

Perfectly Executed
My sister and I had a wonderful trip with Sahara Desert Excursions but they could be named much more because they reached much further than just the Desert! Hommou was so easy to coordinate the trip with before we arrived and than responding to add ons we requested while in Morrocco. The Riads and Dar he set us up with were the best. And don’t worry about tents in the desert they are luxury with all the creature comforts! The cars great, guides good and so willing to share their lives with us. We travel extensively and this was one of our best trips ever and in large part to Hommou and his team.

Great tour, great guide!
We booked the four-day dessert trip from Marrakech to Fes and could not have been more pleased. Everything, from the communication before booking, the new and comfortable car, to the choice of restaurants and hotels was just great. We would especially like to give a shout out to our driver/guide Ali, who took exceptionally good care of us and was an extremely pleasant person to be around for the four days of our trip.
Thanks again for this unforgettable experience!

Visita guiada de fez
Hemos contratado la visita guiada de fez y sus monumentos con la agencia sahara desert excursions el mes pasado y la verdad fui super interesante, hemos visitado varios lugares de interes, la madrasa coranica,barrio de los alfareros y donde tintan el cuero, el guia hablaba perfectamente el español y nos explicaba mucha cosas y en cada lugar, recomendamos esa agencia y que pongan en contacto con Hammou
Gracias a todo el equipo y hasta la proxima

Better options elsewhwre
Our guide was not fluent in English and had some issues with communication. The explanations of what we were to do in the days were unclear. Interactions were forced as the driver was going through the motions. Some of our stops were more on the “hey let’s get money out of tourists” kind of stops.
Our trip was 4d3n and it could have been cut short possibly a day. The first day we saw Ait Ben haddou which was nice to see but the guide provided also spoke very little English. We went to the dades gorge but again no explanation about it. I saw a picture of this winding road but was not taken to it. We spent the night at Riad blues which was one of our best stays
The second day included going through todra gorge which was a waste of a day in that we spent 20 minutes at the actual gorge. The first part of the day we just got dropped off in a random underpass where a tour guide was waiting. Again no explanation from our driver and the tour was skippable. We were brought to a rug shop Maison Berbere which deserves another review on its own. The guide asked for more tip than I was offering and the place they brought us for lunch gave more food than we wanted and charged us a decent amount. This is when the trip started taking a turn for the worse. Afterward we were told that we would stay in the desert that night so the driver had to speed his way to catch a nonexistent sunset. The camp was really nice but the camel trek wasn’t timed well. The evening was fine the workers played great music.
So initially we were supposed to stay in Merzouga, visit the Berber villages then stay Tiziri camp. But we weren’t taken on a sunrise camel trek as it was on the itinerary provided by email to me (after mentioning to the company it wasn’t honored). We used the remaining of the day visiting the berbere villages and ended right at 1. The unannounced switch was really unfortunate.
I wanted to like the tour but with all the things mentioned this probably wouldn’t have happened if it were a different tour/tour guide. If you speak French or Spanish the tour would probably be better.
As a consumer we pay good money to try and guarantee a good tour. My expectations aren’t high whatsoever but the poor communication was definitely the downfall as well as the attention for constant tipping. I give it 2 stars because Riad Blues was the highlight and having a good conversation with one of the workers at Tiziri Camp.

Unforgettable 3D2N Sahara Tour!
We went for the 3d2n Sahara private tour from Marrakesh to Fes. We didn't know what to expect before the tour but our guides and driver made it one of the best trips ever.
From the high Atlas mountains to Dades Gorge, Todra Gorge and finally Sahara! Our driver Ali and guides Mohammad were all really friendly, telling us stories and the history and culture of Morocco- entertainment that made the whole car journey alot more enjoyable.
They were very attentive to our needs as well and stopped by whenever we requested (to take a break from the winding roads or stop by to take photos of sheep!) They chose nice and reasonable restaurants for our meals which we appreciate.
Sahara was amazing- the endless sand dunes, camel ride into the sunset, sandboarding, singing by the bonfire at night under the stars...
Thanks for the unforgettable trip we'll definitely recommend Sahara Desert Excursions to friends!
