What an amazing trip! The desert experience was an incredible. We stayed in the luxury camp ad the atmosphere was incredible with performances at night. We did the camel ride and sandblasting at sunset and were able to add ATV for sunrise or take camel/4WD back. Our guide Yassine was fantastic. He was informative, helpful and worked with all of the needs of the group. He was a great host in all location especially the desert where he was an amazing performer and got the group involved. The only thing with the 2 night trip is it is a lot of driving and our air-conditioning wasn't great in the van. If you don't enjoy long days of driving I recommend the longer trip.

Our guide, Yassine Johnny, was such a fun person and handled our large group with kindness. He checked in with all tour members to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves, especially for those who were impacted by the heat. Plus he’s a great dancer at the desert camp!

The tour was very exciting and covered the most important hotspots. An unforgettable experience! We always had enough time to take the best photos. They also took care to organize the tour so that we visited the best hotspots at times when there were not so many tourists around. Our tour guide Yassine Johnny was very nice and very friendly. My younger brother had diarrhea on the trip. Yassine looked after him like family and was really patient the whole time. We never felt uncomfortable at any time. He even drove us to the pharmacy in the evening and fulfilled all our special requests. Yassine took everything with a lot of humor and we laughed a lot! I really appreciate this hospitality! I would book this tour again and again! Thank you Yassine Johnny, thank you Morocco!

My friend and I had an amazing experience on this tour operated my Marrakech city life. Our driver, Hakim, was awesome and took great care of us. The camel ride through the Sahara was the best part of the trip, and we enjoyed seeing the sunset and sunrise over the desert. Our tour guide Rashid in Tinghir, was really good. Also, our hotel accommodation - Yu Palace in Ourzazate was really good. Highly recommend!

One of the best trips I’ve ever been too. Our driver Hussein is one of the best. He explained the small details very well and even brought us places that were not part of the trip.

We really enjoyed the trip with our driver Hakim. We had a nice small group and everything was very well organized. The desert was definitely the highlight of our trip. Departing from Fes and arriving in Marrakech worked really well for our round trip in Morocco. Highly recommend!
