  • Sahara Desert Trip 5 Days & 4 nights reviewer 1
    · April 25th, 2025
    I would not recommend booking this trip!!!! At the beginning, everything seemed fine. But toward the end of the vacation, the true face of the tour operator came through – disrespectful and unfair. I arrived in Marrakech one day earlier and was offered to be picked up by the organizer, which I accepted. The pickup service was supposed to be included in the trip, meaning they should have picked me up anyway. However, at the end of the trip, I was suddenly charged 150 euros – just for 4 hours of sleep. I tried to calmly explain and ask why there was suddenly an extra charge, even though the number of days of the trip it Self stayed exactly the same. I would’ve been willing to pay for the extra night, but it was a 15-euro room – not 150 euros. Instead of a clear explanation, I received a phone call from Lakhsan, who insulted me and acted very unprofessionally. The food wasn’t anything special, the accommodations were very basic and cheap, and the guides couldn’t speak fluent English or French, which made communication difficult. The trip itself – the nature and the locations – was worth seeing. But maybe you’re better off just renting a car and exploring on your own.

    · December 11th, 2022
    I booked a 5 day solo tour with Ridouane (my guide) and Hassan (our driver). Let me start off my saying that the tour was perfectly smooth thanks to both of them! Sadly I had a cold the whole time but Ridouane went above and beyond to adapt to my needs such as a switching hotels twice during the trip. Besides being adaptable, Ridouane is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable guides I’ve ever hired who (I’m not joking) managed to answer every one of my questions except for one during the whole excursion! And for that one question I can’t even find info online…Hassan drove us quickly and safely across the country and was super friendly as well. I also really liked their choice of hotels! All in all guys, thanks for this trip which I will keep looking back to when I think of Morocco. Hope to see you when I’m back, this time to go north!

    All I can say is...fantastic!!! Lahcen with Morocco Mountain Guides was just amazing, flexible and had everything perfectly arranged. He went out of his way to adjust the trip and include things we really wanted to do but didn't think we had time to do(climb Mt Toubkal). The driver and guides we had were top notch, so informative, caring and helpful. I couldn't have asked for a better tour...highly recommend!!!

    Bill

    Asked on March 30th, 2025

    I plan to go to Morocco and book this tour, but I'm going solo. So, can I book this tour? If yes, when I select accommodation, it requires 2 travelers for a Twin room. How can this option be bypassed with 1 traveler?

    I would like to do a 5 day tour on December 5th to visit kasbahs and erg chebbi. Does you tour include sandboarding as well? And would I be able to join an already existing group?

      TravelerWritten November 2022

      I'm looking for a guide who knows the history behind the kasbahs well and I'm also very interested in going sandbording. Ideally I would stay two nights in the Sahara. Would all that be possible? And how much would it cost?

    • Morocco Mountain GuidesOperatorWritten November 2022

      It is possible to arrange you a guide and driver who knows more about kasbahs and it is possible to stay in the desert camp for two nights including sandboarding.

      TravelerWritten November 2022

      I'm alone. Hopefully I will meet people in Marrakech who will join me but normally it will just be me. Great to hear that you have guides who know about the history! That's perfect. How much would this cost? I'm comparing tours and I found another one with great reviews that offers the 5 day tour for 750€. Are you able to offer a similar price?

    • Morocco Mountain GuidesOperatorWritten November 2022

      Price for solo traveler is 1050 Euros including: 4x4 or Mini van Mercedes with air conditions vehicle, professional driver, English speaking Guide, Overnight stay in dades valley on half board, two nights overnight stay in the desert with camel ride and half board, overnight stay in ait ben hadou or ouarzazte on half board. Not included: Travel insurance, Drinks + lunches.

      TravelerWritten November 2022

      This sounds great, I'm ready to book this tour! Just to confirm, it's ok if we change the itinerary a bit, right? For example, on day 4 I would like to spend more time on the dunes than in the villages. We also have to keep in mind that in December it gets dark early so I will probably want to get up quite early every day to make the most out of our days. I hope you're flexible!

      Ellen

      TravelerWritten November 2022

      Excellent, so the dates will be December 5th - December 9th. Would that work?
