Reviews about our 3 days desert tour Marrakech to Merzouga
Best 3 days tour Marrakech to Merzouga
We had a 3 days tour Marrakech to Merzouga desert. We decided to do the private tour, instead of a group tour because, we were first-time travelers and did not want to be rushed.
We were picked up on time by our lovely guide from the hotel. We passed the High Atlas Mountains to the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou kasbah, a UNESCO world heritage site. It was a wondrous place to see along the way to the Sahara desert.
Our tour guide at the beginning was very informative. He is also very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his country and we have come away with a much deeper understanding and appreciation of Moroccan culture and history.
We also had our camel trek through the Erg Chebbi dunes of Merzouga, together with our camel shepherd.
Everything was amazing, the colors of the scenery, the towns, the food, the artwork, the desert the sky everything is just breathtaking (especially the Sahara!). The camel ride in the dunes and the sandboarding, faultless!
Marrakech to Merzouga - 3 days 2 nights - Best part of our holiday in Morocco
My friend and I went on the 3 days tour Marrakech to Merzouga desert; we were picked up from our riad by Mohammed in his clean 4WD. We can honestly say that this tour was the highlight of our 8-night stay in Morocco; seeing the Todra Gorges and of course staying the night camping in the desert with Berber food and music party being especially unique.
On the first day; we stayed at a very clean hotel in Dades, as well as the first hotel, which is very well equipped and great for relaxing in after a long day.
Desert trip from Marrakech to Erg Chebbi
We used this organization for 3 days desert trip from Marrakech to Merzouga desert - Erg Chebbi dunes. Our driver/guide picked us up at 08:30 and took good care of us, giving his best to show us the authentic Morocco.
On the way, we drove through the High Atlas Mountains with its magnificent N Tichka Pass (2260 m). We had several stops on the way to Dades valley through the famous Kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou Kasr, the Roses valley, Skoura village, and the road of thousand Kasbahs provides numerous photo opportunities.
Three days tour from marrakech to Merzouga
We had a wonderful 3 days tour Marrakech to Merzouga Desert with driver Hamid. All my compliments and recommendations for him. He was a friendly careful driver.
We would like to have more extra time in the Merzouga Sahara. But the camel trip and the stars and moon were wondrous.
The Last Day of the tour driving back to Marrakech is a little bit longer.
