We chose a 3-day desert tour, and I’d like to share our feedback based on our experience. Abdel, our guide, picked us up near our Riad, and we appreciated his informative and friendly demeanor, which instantly made us feel comfortable. When traveling with your group, don’t hesitate to engage in discussions as it enriches the journey even more. It’s important to mention that this trip offers a mix of adventure and exploration but does involve a fair amount of road travel. Along the way, you’ll discover historic towns, learn about Berber traditions, and witness stunning landscapes. I highly recommend this experience, just be prepared for the significant driving involved.
Mohamed was absolutely amazing as our guide! Throughout the entire trip, his presence and expertise were truly remarkable. Taking this tour is a must – the experience is so rewarding. While the return journey can be tiring due to the long hours on the road, the incredible moments we lived more than make up for it. Some of the meals at the designated restaurants might be slightly pricier than what you’d find elsewhere, but they’re not excessively costly.
This 3 days desert tour is a definite must-do! The breathtaking landscapes of the Atlas valleys are perfectly complemented by historic Kasbahs and Ksars. We are immensely grateful to our outstanding driver, Sais, who was attentive to every detail and exceptionally kind throughout the journey. Special thanks also go to our guide, who expertly introduced us to the beauty of the Toudgha valley. The highlight of it all was the desert experience, an incredible adventure that we highly recommend upgrading to a luxury camp for. This is an experience we would eagerly relive!
We chose a private tour for our group of 5, and we had a fantastic experience. The extended hours spent in the car were much more comfortable since we had the minivan exclusively for ourselves. Our driver, Mohamed, was not only careful on the road but also incredibly kind to us (thank you, Mohamed!). The tour itself was very enjoyable, with the desert arrival being a standout moment. The camp accommodation was also excellent. Despite a small misunderstanding, Morocco mystical tours handled it exceptionally well. Their support is top-notch, so you can rely on them without any worries.
This journey was an amazing adventure from start to finish. The booking process was seamless, and the trip offered great value for the price. What truly made the experience exceptional was the friendly demeanor of our guide. He consistently ensured everyone’s happiness and made every moment enjoyable, even during the long drives. This tour became the highlight of our Moroccan holiday. Many thanks for providing us with this unforgettable experience.
