  • 5 day Desert Trip - Atlas Mountains then Essaouira for one night reviewer 1
    · March 20th, 2025
    Our trip to the Sahara was amazing! Our guide, Mohamed, was fantastic, he knew a lot, drove really well, and showed us cool places. He made sure my family had a great time. The whole experience was unforgettable. Watching the sunset and stars in the desert was incredible. I highly recommend it!

    We did a four day tour from Marrakech to Fes using this company! Hassan Wadi our excellent guide and he took us through the beautiful Atlas Mountains including the best stops for photos and sightseeing. The drive through the mountains was a bit scary because of the winding road, but Hassan was the best driver and we felt comfortable. We really fell in love with Morocco thanks to Hassan, he is very friendly, knowledgeable, professional and happy to share his rich culture with us guests. The best part of the tour was the Sahara desert experience, the color of the sand, the feeling of being in a remote area. The camp was comfortable, the food was good, and the camel ride was a great experience. I would recommend this company to anyone who wants to discover real life and a different culture with friendly people.

    Brian

    Asked on December 12th, 2023

    I'm trying to book this Tour and I'm traveling alone. The price increased from 871$ to 1309$ I just want to double check if this is correct? Because it's an increase of 438$ or 109$ EXTRA for each night. Please advise urgently to know if I can proceed.... For a basic accommodation i think the price is changing a lot between single and double occupancy.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • TouaregTrailsOperatorWritten December 2023

      The price is correct. Most of our guests are solo travelers, so to secure and guarantee the departure even we have a solo traveler on the trip, so we cover the accommodation and the transportation also. The price is higher as you are solo traveler. If doesn't suits your budget, we believe that there are other cheap options especially these who arrange big group tours.

    Asked on December 11th, 2023

    What accommodation is booked along the way? How many people is the maximum and what sort of vehicle do you have? Safety and reliable vehicle and guide is very important. I see the reviews are from 2019, have you been running the tours since and have genuine reviews?

    Transport

      We use cars with A/C as well as expert local guides for all our tours, so don't worry about the safety, guides and cars. We usually have 6-8 people in each tour, depending on the departures and bookings.

    Asked on September 4th, 2023

    I would like to know what their cancellation and refund policy is.

    Operator
    • TouaregTrailsOperatorWritten September 2023

      If the tour is cancelled less than a week, we don't make the refund, and the cancelation is make between one and two week before the tour, we make 50% refund. In case we have specific reasons to cancel the tour (out of control), we can discuss this with our guests, and sometimes we make the full refund even it's less than well before the tour start.
