With this fantastic tour, where every detail has been carefully considered, you'll have the opportunity to visit two of the country's most important cities: Marrakech, with its bustling and vibrant Jemaa el-Fna square, and Fez, a labyrinth of narrow streets where you can step back 100 years in time. You'll also see two cities renowned for their beauty: Chefchaouen, or "the Blue Pearl," so named for the colorful streets and facades of its buildings, and Tetouan, which is said to have the most beautiful medina in the country. Added to all this is a visit to Morocco's best-kept secret: its desert, the Sahara. We'll cross Merzouga with its 150-meter-high dunes and enjoy its blanket of stars, spending the night in an authentic, luxurious Berber tent. You'll live like a sultan—a trip you won't soon forget!

We traveled as a family, taking the 5-day desert tour. Our guide, Said, was more than just a driver-guide; he took great care of us, was incredibly attentive to detail, and a fantastic driver. He listened to all our requests and showed us many unforgettable places. A true professional and an even better person. Thank you, Said! As for the agency, we are incredibly grateful to Mila for her hospitality and recommendations.

A group of friends and I took the 5-day desert tour, and this experience will stay with me forever... everything was wonderful. From my first contact with Mila when making the reservation, she was in touch with me, acting as the group's spokesperson, long before the trip even started, answering all my questions and more! The organization was absolutely perfect, the hotels were generally very good, and a special mention goes to the Nomad Desert Hotel, which was truly beautiful, as was the Berber tent camp. The breakfast and dinner, which were included in the price, were very good, and thanks to the excellent advice and attention of our guide, Mohamed, the lunch, which wasn't included, was also perfect. Mohamed deserves a special mention in my comments, as he made the trip so much fun and we felt like family. He's a very endearing person and incredibly knowledgeable about his region, so his explanations were fascinating. Thanks to him, we were able to better understand the way of life of the desert people. Everything we saw was breathtaking. Although the journey to the desert from Marrakech is quite long and includes stretches of winding mountain road (the road is very good and new, so don't worry), Mohamed made it seem much shorter. He's a fantastic driver. As he says, if you learn to drive on the dunes, everything else is easy. I encourage anyone wanting to visit the Moroccan desert to book with them. You'll return home, just like we did, wanting to do it again. Thank you so much, Mohamed, Mila, and Ismail, for making this possible. Mohamed!! Hugs, my friend!

We are a group of seven friends who just returned from this wonderful desert trip. We took a five-day tour. It was a unique and unforgettable experience with Mohammed, our guide, who was always friendly, always providing timely, concise, and clear explanations. He answered any questions we had and was always willing to help. He is also an excellent driver. The hotels we chose were very good. The desert tents were lovely and charming, with private bathrooms and showers. Our hotel in the desert was the Nomad Palace, and it was wonderful in terms of location, food, staff, entertainment, and accommodations. The meals were also excellent. It's clear this company has experience because everything is well-organized and planned. As constructive criticism, I would suggest providing a speaker or microphone for the guide/driver in the van because those sitting in the back row can't hear the guide's explanations due to being too far away. Mohammed, our guide, repeated his explanations without any problem... but it's an issue that needs improvement.

From Fez to the desertWe decided to take a trip with friends to explore Morocco. We took the advice of Ismael, our guide, who planned the trip according to our preferences. We started in Marrakech, where he gave us a guided tour of the city, and afterwards we had free time which we used to go to the souk and try different food stalls. The next day we headed towards the desert, stopping along the way to visit Ouarzazate, Dades, the Todra Gorge, and more. In the desert, we did several activities: quad biking, visiting markets, watching sunsets, visiting nomads—in short, we loved it. We plan to repeat the experience to continue exploring Morocco, and we'll definitely do it again with ViajesDesierto, an experience we highly recommend to everyone.

We took the desert tour for three days and I have nothing but positive things to say. Our guide was Ahmed, and from the very first moment he made sure we were comfortable and told us everything we needed to know about the places we were going to. Thanks to him, the trip was very enjoyable and fun. He's a really great guy. The desert was an incredible experience. We went on a camel trek and rode quad bikes to see the sunrise; it was one of the best experiences of our lives. If we go back, or if someone we know is interested in doing this tour, we will definitely recommend doing it with this agency and especially with Ahmed.

For the entire three days, we felt like he was one of us. The desert was spectacular; we went on a camel trek and watched the sunrise on quad bikes. It was truly one of the best experiences we could have had. If we go back, or if someone we know wants to do this tour, we will definitely recommend this agency and Ahmed in particular.

Amazing desert experience with Ahmed 🌵✨We took the three-day desert tour with Ahmed, and it was simply spectacular. From the very first moment, he made sure we were comfortable and gave us all the necessary advice to make the most of every part of the trip. He's a lovely and very attentive person, always making sure we were happy. The desert was magical: we explored the dunes on camels and enjoyed an incredible sunrise on quad bikes. Both activities are highly recommended.

100% experience highly recommended!!A fantastic experience to share with friends, family, or even solo! All the activities were incredible: the many places we visited by car, the camel ride, the night in the desert, the sunrise while riding quad bikes… And above all, a special mention to our driver, Ahmed, who was such a great companion that for a few days it felt like he was traveling with us rather than guiding us. A wonderful person, always concerned about our comfort and safety, willing to share the experience with us as if he were one of the group, curious about our concerns, and eager to learn about us and our country, as well as show us his own. All this and much more made this a truly enriching experience for me and my friends. Highly recommended!

Incredible experience with @viajesdesierto.com 🌵✨ Everything was super well organized, the guides were friendly, and the scenery was like something out of a movie. AMy trip with ViajesDesierto.com was, honestly, one of the best experiences I've ever had. From the very first moment, the service was excellent: Mila and Ismael were attentive to every detail, answering all my questions and tailoring the itinerary exactly to what I was looking for. During the trip, everything was perfectly organized: the transfers, the riads, the desert camp—even the schedules were perfect! The drivers and guides spoke Spanish, were friendly, and shared so much about Berber culture and desert life, which made the experience much more authentic. The most magical moment was undoubtedly the night in the desert, under a sky full of stars, with music, a campfire, and an unforgettable silence. I felt it wasn't just a trip, but a human and cultural adventure.

Meeting Ahmed has been the best part of the trip!We met Ahmed in Chefchaouen, at his shop in the medina. A wonderful place filled with objects that transport you to countless places and stories. But the best part, without a doubt, was meeting Ahmed and sitting down to chat with him. What a fantastic person! I'm already looking forward to going back and taking a trip to the desert, since we didn't have the chance this time. With all the things he told us, we can't wait to return and share a trip with him.

The experience was fantastic from the start. They picked us up at the airport, the service was excellent, and our driver, Ahmed, was the best. He went at our pace, catered to our requests for food, and took us wherever we wanted, without any rush. The experience was very good. The only slight inconvenience was that we had to pay in cash, and we didn't travel with cash. We were able to resolve this with a Western Union transfer. Otherwise, the experience was excellent.
