I'm not going back, not even if I were crazy

we did this one on 7-21-2026. we left at 7:30 in the morning and arrived at the destination 13 hours later, completely exhausted. The driver is rallying through the roads and mountain passes, 19 people in a minibus and without air conditioning, well, it's just that it didn't work. It is so long because it stops at all the partner establishments so that you buy and spend and they take the corresponding commissions. you finally arrive at the camp at nightfall, and instead of letting you rest and freshen up, they take you up to give you the camel ride, when you are already completely exhausted and it is night. In the cabins it is almost impossible to sleep because of the heat, they advise you and many people take the beds outside and you sleep in the street. At 7 they give you breakfast, and immediately after the driver comes shouting for everyone to get on the minibus, with no time to wash up. Another 10 hours of travel back, sweating and going through hell. It is a marathon, not a tourist excursion. The driver is reckless; he spends his time talking on the phone while driving, even on a video call with his son. And during the trip, he does nothing but insult the tourists, especially the Spaniards. (It's just that my partner speaks Arabic, and he understood everything he was saying). They don't even treat you like animals... but rather as if you were an Amazon package. I'm not going back even if they pay me 2000 euros for the marathon. And I am not putting my life in danger. Good luck to the intrepid soul who dares....

100% recommended, great trip!

Our desert trip was one of the highlights of our visit to Morocco. Even though the desert is a long drive from Marrakech, the itinerary was thoughtfully planned with scenic stops and unique places along the way, so the journey felt enjoyable rather than exhausting. Khalid made the experience exceptional. He brought great energy to the group, shared fascinating insights about the places we visited, and was always happy to answer questions or offer advice. He didn't just guide the tour, he helped everyone plan the rest of their time in Morocco, recommended places to visit, and kept us laughing throughout the trip.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that your desert trip was one of the highlights of your visit to Morocco. We’re especially happy that Khalid’s enthusiasm, knowledge, and friendly attitude made the journey so enjoyable and memorable. Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure!

He made sure we stopped for delicious food at great, reliable places and guided us through everything seamlessly.

We felt safe, well cared for, and highly recommend booking with him for the perfect desert adventure. Thank you, Rachid, for making our trip so special and memorable.
