    Best Marrakech to Merzouga 2 day tour

    Our family (couple + 2 teenage boys) had an unforgettable experience traveling 2 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga into the desert! The whole thing was beyond our expectations, on every level. The high level of comfort, the organization, the safety, the kindness, the communication, the programs, everything was amazing. It was a pleasure to have Hassan guiding us and I felt very safe on the road with him as a cautious and smooth driver. Also, he always asked us how we felt about doing this or that program. The desert is a magical place and I feel so grateful that you do what you do, so we can have such a special experience in your amazing country. Thank you so much to all the team and to Hassan!!

    Fantastic 2 days tour Marrakech to Merzouga

    The best Marrakech 2 day deser tour by far! I loved our tour with Hassan. He took us to all the must see attractions and he was very patient with us as we stopped by a few shops for souvenirs. Hassan also invited us to his house for tea! Super hospitable. He would definitely go back to Morocco again

    Top 2 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga Desert

    A very well organized private 2 day tour from Marrakech for our family of 4. All accommodations selected for us were great with delicious food and comfortable beds. Hassan our guide and driver was awesome, always on time and eager to share about his country, culture and music during the long car ride.
    The Erg Chebbi dunes were beautiful, the camel ride a highlight of the trip for the kids (although your buttocks may be sore for days;) and the sunset and sunrise unforgettable. The stop for tea in the Berber tent was nice and relaxing.
