Fes to Marrakech desert tour reviews
What our customers say about our desert tour from Fes to Marrakech.
★ 5/5 based on 511 Reviews.
This 5-day Fes to Marrakech sahara tour was amazing, especially the Sahara desert experience both day and night. I highly suggest choosing the 5-day trip instead of 4. We loved all the activities like camel riding, quad biking, swimming, watching sunrise and sunset, and sandboarding. The hotels and food were very good throughout.
Our guide Mouha was fantastic—friendly, relaxed, and full of interesting facts at every stop. We felt safe and cared for during the whole trip. Visiting the Berber family was a special experience. Hassan also helped me celebrate my birthday properly with cake and candles in the Sahara on the first night! Celebrating with the Berbers was unforgettable. Thank you, Mouha!
