We booked a tour from Fez to the Sahara Desert & Merzouga and back to Marrakech next day. We have a flight on the next day in Marrakech at 8:30 pm so normal tours to the desert is not suitable for us. But we really wanted to visit the desert. Luckily, we found the Go Marrakech Desert Trips. They arranged this tour for us quickly and perfectly and let us come back to Marrakech in the time we want. The price is nice. And we had a really enjoyable experience.
Although the tour had a long drive, the view was really beautiful, so it was not so tired throughout the tour. We saw snow mountains, forest and monkeys, valleys, oasis, desert and so on. After arrived at Sahara, we rode on camels, saw the sunset, and stayed in a luxury camp. The camel ride was a unforgettable experience. At night, the starry night in the desert was amazing, and it was definitely life-worthy to see it. The food at the camp was also nice. On the next day, we set off early towards Marrakech for the flight, and we arrived on time successfully.
I’m here also to specifically give a great thank to our driver and guide, Abdou. He is a really nice, kind and hard-working person. On the first day, he got up early to pick us from the hotel in Fez and then drove us to the Sahara Desert. This was definitely not a easy task. The whole drive was about 7 hours. Abdou finished the drive perfectly and did not show any tiredness during the drive. He also showed professionality as a guide. He can speak some English. He introduced the places, buildings, and the views to us from time to time and answered our questions. He knew the tour well and he always told us the next stop clearly after we finished the previous one. He also responded to our requests (ie. go to toilet, have a cup of tea, buy some sovereigns and so on) quickly and can find the right places. The drive was long, but the arrangement for getting off the car to see the view or relax was nice, so we did not feel so tried throughout the tour. We have a really happy and enjoyable time with Abdou. It is nice to have a person like him in the tour.
In all, we really like and recommend the Go Marrakech Desert Trips and our driver and guide Abdou.

This experience was a lot better than what we were expecting. We were reading reviews for awhile debating if it was worth it or not and got very mixed reviews from people. It was a 7-8 hour drive down from Fez to Merzouga , but it was very worth it. You made plenty of stops in the van for bathroom and food and sometimes views(just keep in mind some of the bathrooms are squatty potties with minimal toilet paper or just buckets of water). The camel experience was great, tour guide was nice and took pictures for us. I recommend going in the off season (It was warm, and two other groups there the whole time!). The tent in the desert has a regular toilet, great shower, and comfortable bed. The food was amazing. Make sure to take out Dirhams (Moroccan cash) for food, souvenirs, if you want to ATV/buggy in the desert, and tips ! The only downside I had was the van for transport would pick up random other people so you could end up in a packed van with others. I think overall it was a great price for the experience. I think from reading other reviews , new years is not an ideal time to do this excursion.

A great moment with beautiful dunes and a very well place to dîner and sleep. A quick and sympathic road to desert with our driver Abdou, and a peacefull road with camels to the camp.

This 2-day desert tour was truly a highlight of our Morocco trip! The journey from Fès takes you through stunning landscapes, and the camel ride at sunset in the Erg Chebbi dunes was magical. Spending the night in the desert camp under the stars was an unforgettable experience – peaceful, beautiful, and very authentic.

Highly recommended! Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke great English, which made the long drive enjoyable with interesting stories and stops along the way. The accommodations were comfortable, and the desert camp dinner around the fire was a special touch. A perfect short desert getaway.

Fantastic adventure from Fès to Merzouga with a great balance of landscapes and desert time. The desert camp was comfortable and the sunrises were spectacular. The only thing to note is the long drive – it’s part of the desert experience, but the views along the Middle Atlas and Ziz Valley make it worthwhile.
