Absolutely incredible 3-day journey from Marrakech to Fes! Our guide and driver, Hakim, was the absolute BEST—so knowledgeable, friendly, and made every moment special. From exploring the Atlas Mountains and ancient kasbahs to the unforgettable night under the stars in the Sahara, every detail was perfect. Hakim, made sure we were comfortable and shared fascinating stories about the places we visited. Watching the sunrise in the Merzouga dunes and visiting beautiful Berber villages along the way were highlights. Highly recommend this tour and especially Khalil for an authentic Moroccan adventure!

I cannot thank our guide Youssef and mule driver Mustafa enough, they were absolutely brilliant and really made this trip extremely special. I’ve completely fallen in love with the Atlas Mountains and the kind people who live there.
The trail is beautiful and takes you through varied and geologically interesting landscapes. We did the walk in December, and there hadn’t been snowfall yet, so the walk itself wasn’t overly strenuous giving us the chance to take in the surroundings and put the world to rights, and time to explore the villages in the evenings.
We were fortunate enough to have clear skies every night - in the small villages the view of the stars is incredible!
Highly recommend it! Thanks Youssef and Mustafa!
My room mate and I made the decision to embark on this adventure, and we both agree that it was without a doubt the most memorable experience of our lives. Mohamed, our tour guide, was really kind and helpful during our time together, and he took very good care of us. The desert is a breathtaking and beautiful place to visit. The accommodations were wonderful, and they even had a pool. Along the route, there were a number of rest spots with restrooms and refreshment areas . We had a great time participating in the many outdoor activities that were available, particularly the horseback riding, hiking, and quad biking. I highly recommend them!
In June, we did the Toubkal Circuit, culminating in climbing Mt Toubkal, with your company. We had a fantastic time, led by Abdullah Agafay, a fantastic guide. He was a fount of information about Berber culture and wonderfully skilled both socially and technically at leading our trek. And when one of our group could not continue, he immediately organized transport back to Imlil. Chef Norden produced EVERY DAY fantastic meals that featured fresh fruits and vegetables as well as traditional Berber dishes. Samir and Abdulraman proved steady companions, springing into action to meet whatever need arose. I cannot recommend your company highly enough!
From beginning to end, our 5-day journey was an incredible experience. The high point? The hot air balloon ride, camel ride, and quad riding were definitely highlights. An adventure seeker's dream comes true when they can ride a quad bike across desert dunes, swing softly on a camel's back, or fly above stunning vistas in a hot air balloon! A smooth and remarkable trip was guaranteed by the informed and kind guides. I heartily recommend this tour company to anyone who is itching for a real Moroccan experience!
This travel company simply made it all work with the best 3-day desert adventure from Marrakech via Merzouga. Beautifully scheduled, from the drive across the Atlas Mountains to the enchanting Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou—no stop was boring. The highlight of this trip was a sunset camel trek across the Erg Chebbi dunes combined with an unforgettable night under the stars at a luxury desert camp while listening to traditional Berber music. Comfortable accommodations, a very knowledgeable guide, and every moment was a perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend this tour to anyone who would like an authentic Moroccan desert experience!

My 10-day Grand Morocco Tour from north to south was an unforgettable experience. From the enchanting blue streets of Chefchaouen to the stunning sand dunes of the Sahara, each day brought something new and exciting. The trip was well-organized, with a perfect balance of culture, history, and adventure. What I appreciated most was the carefully planned itinerary, which took us through Morocco’s most beautiful sites, from the Roman ruins of Volubilis to the majestic Kasbah of Aït Benhaddou.
The guides were knowledgeable and passionate about their country, providing us not only with historical insights but also a deeper understanding of Moroccan culture and traditions. The private transport service was comfortable, and our driver was always punctual and attentive. The accommodations were high quality, with stunning riads and hotels that perfectly captured the spirit of the country.
One of the highlights was the Sahara experience. The camel trek to the desert camps was magical, and stargazing under the clear night sky was something I will never forget. The local music in the desert villages added a unique atmosphere to this enchanting place.
Are you hungry for an adventure of a lifetime? If yes, then we have the perfect trip for you. Radically different from our normal tours, this eight-day, private trip will take you to the deserts and canyons of Morocco, where you will traverse a barren landscape composed of dunes, rugged hills, dry riverbeds and desert oases while spending nights in camps far away from civilization.
Start the journey from Marrakech and cover the Black Desert followed by the dunes of Ramlia and Ouzina. Explore the famous dunes of Merzouga in an off-road vehicle and travel past the Dades and Tinghir valleys. Your adventure comes to an end in Marrakech after you have visited the Todra canyons.
Accompanying you during this trip will be an experienced tour guide. Camels will be available in certain locations to ensure that you can continue the trip when you are tired walking. Items needed for camping, like food, sleeping bags, and tents, will be carried along and you will use local guesthouses for your evening shower. There is also an option to stay in hotels at some destinations.
I was absolutely thrilled with our experience! We chose the "Morocco Luxury Tour – North to South," and everything was perfect from start to finish. The organization was flawless, and the local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly.
The tour began in Casablanca, where we were greeted by a professional guide who accompanied us throughout the entire trip. We visited iconic cities such as Rabat, Fes, and Marrakech, as well as lesser-known gems like Chefchaouen and Essaouira, each with its own unique charm.
The most impressive part of the trip was our visit to the Sahara Desert, where we experienced luxury glamping in a beautifully decorated tent. Under a starry sky, we enjoyed delicious traditional meals. Riding a camel across the dunes was an unforgettable experience!
This trip perfectly combined adventure with comfort, and the itinerary was well-structured to offer us a variety of experiences. We explored historical landmarks, vibrant markets, and had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture in every city we visited.
We took a 10 days trip from Marrakesh to Fes, through Ourzazat and Merzuga desert. Our driver was Mokhtar. We had wonderful time. mokhtar is a very skilled and friendly driver, knowing a lot about every region of Moroco. He knows good photo spots as well. The hotel we stayed in Ourzazat was boutique and very relaxing. The second night we stayed in a luxury camp at the desert, which was above the expectations. A great experience to see a lot of Morocco in relatively short time - I highly recommend Top Desert Tours and Mohamed! Such a variety of experiences and learnt a lot about the country, culture, landscapes, people. Thank you Mokhtar!
This is an ideal trip if you would like to climb the highest peak in North Africa and if you love a challenging week of trekking!
Lead and supervised by a qualified mountain guide from the region, the trip starts from Marrakesch and includes an acclimatization day in the Atlas Mountains after arrival. Stay in a local house and enjoy a local homemade dinner. Then we make our ascent of Toubkal, which is not technical but requires crampons and ice-axes to reach the top. Get the best views over the whole Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert. There is also an option to climb another lower peak, which you can decide on and discuss with your guide.
The trip includes accommodation in Marrakech on the first and last nights as well as a guided tour to discover the famous monuments, the souk of the red city and more. Please see the whats included sections and detailed itinerary for more information.
