    The experience was wonderful, every detail very well thought out, very well organized. And very safe, which was important because we were traveling with a child. Our guide Hamid, from the company Morocojoytrabel.com made the trip a dream, entertaining, took us to wonderful places, very approachable, fun. He is the best guide we have ever had on a trip. I totally recommend him, an unforgettable experience. Many things included without paying anything extra, we enjoyed swimming pools, Henna tattoos, he helped us to bargain, photo experiences with typical costumes, guides to places and all included. The only thing not included were the mid-day meals, but he took us to very good and cheap places. Better than 100?

    ChatGPT Hai detto: Scrivimi una bella recensione in inglese per un tour in Marocco di 3 giorni da Marrakesch. Abbiamo visto il Sahara, fatto una escursione in dromedario al tramonto e ballato la sera a Marzouga. La guida si chiamava Ismail, molto simpatico e ci ha spiegato molte cose. ChatGPT ha detto: Sure! Here's a polished and engaging review in English for your 3-day Morocco tour from Marrakech: Unforgettable 3-Day Morocco Adventure from Marrakech! We recently returned from an incredible 3-day tour in Morocco starting from Marrakech, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. From the moment we were picked up, everything was well-organized and smooth. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the breathtaking Sahara Desert. Riding a dromedary at sunset across the golden dunes was pure magic — the colors, the silence, and the sense of vastness made it a moment we'll never forget. Our evening in Merzouga was just as special. After a delicious traditional dinner, we gathered around the fire under the stars and danced to Berber music with our group and the locals. The atmosphere was so joyful and welcoming! A huge thank you to our guide, Ismail, who was absolutely fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to answer our questions. He taught us so much about Moroccan culture, history, and daily life, making the journey even more enriching. We can't recommend this tour enough to anyone looking to experience the magic of Morocco in just a few days!

    🌍 An Unforgettable Experience from Marrakech to the Sahara! 🌄 I went on a 3-day tour from Marrakech to the Sahara Desert with my friend Veronica, organized by Morocco Joy Travel, and I can truly say it was an unforgettable journey! From the very beginning, our guide Ismail was incredible – professional, knowledgeable, and above all, passionate. Throughout the trip, he took us to amazing places, sharing stories and insights that helped us experience Morocco through a deeper lens. We crossed the majestic Atlas Mountains, breathing in the fresh mountain air and enjoying breathtaking views. One of the most memorable stops was the fortified village of Ait Ben Haddou, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the stunning Dades Gorges to remote Berber villages, vibrant colors, rich flavors, and natural beauty – every moment felt like stepping into a postcard. Once we arrived in the desert, we were welcomed at the beautiful Sahara Pearl Hotel, where we relaxed with a swim in the pool overlooking the dunes. The highlight? A camel trek at sunset, surrounded by golden sands and peaceful silence. At night, under a sky full of stars, the magic continued with live drumming and music by the fire – pure energy, pure joy. 💫 A journey that touches the soul – filled with nature, culture, warm people, and a sense of wonder. Thank you Morocco Joy Travel, and thank you Ismail

    Ali was an incredible guide and I would thoroughly recommend booking with Morocco Joy Travel. We travelled with our 2 kids (8 &9) and Ali made it such a wonderful adventure for our family. He was so warm and kind, knowledgeable and thoughtful. We opted for the luxury accommodation and it surpassed our expectations. There was a lot of driving but the vehicle was very comfortable and Ali was so knowledgeable and a pleasure to tour with. We are left with wonderful memories of sunsets, fossil digging, sand dune exploring, camel riding, drum playing, spectacular scenery, delicious meals…thank you Ali…we cannot wait to visit again!

    My son and I had an amazing private 3 day High Atlas Mountains and Sahara Adventure. Our driver and tour guide Hamid with Morocco Joy Travel picked us up at our hotel in Marrakech in a beautiful minivan and made our experience very easy and enjoyable. He was very knowledgeable about the region, people and culture and that made the experience amazing. We hope to return soon.
