Mohamed, very good experience. Enjoy your visit!
the trip was truly impressive and incredibly divers. We experienced so much and are very very happy with the hole journey. The bus drivers and tour guides Idris and Masir were extremely friendly, helpful and always in a great mood. They were always open to having a friendly conversation and made everyone feel welcome. Ee can wholeheartedly recommend traveling with these two. The desert camp was beautiful as well. The camel ride was amazing ant the camp owner was incredible open, friendly and welcoming. We slept so well under the starry sky. But don't forget to bring along your own towels ;-)
Our experience began with a pickup from the riad that took us to the meeting point where the van with our guides Driss and Jamal was waiting for us. The experience starts with the journey: Driss and Jamal know how to include you in the journey with music and smiles. The itinerary included scheduled stops based on the group's needs and visits to points of interest. Waiting for us at the end of the journey were the dromedaries that took us to the campsite where we had tea, ate dinner, and watched a traditional music performance. In the morning, after watching the sunrise, our guides took us back to Marrakesh, still providing stops and visits.
Coming into the trip knowing nothing about what I was doing except driving 8 hours into the desert I didn’t expect much. But wow were my expectations exceed ten fold. The drive to and from might have been just as fun as the destination itself in the Sahara. Our guides told us to many cultural places that were amazing. The destination itself was so cool especially the camels. Big plus, there were showers for us there at the luxury part.
"A Perfectly Curated Sahara Escape with Discover Sahara Tours! We just finished a 2-day trip to the Zagora desert with Discover Sahara Tours, and it was everything we hoped for and more. From the moment we were picked up, it was clear that this wasn’t just a standard tour—the level of attention to detail and the quality of the service made it a truly luxury experience. The drive through the High Atlas Mountains and the Draa Valley was breathtaking, and our driver/guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the region but also made sure we were comfortable and taken care of every step of the way. The highlight was, without a doubt, our stay in the desert. The camp provided by Discover Sahara Tours was exceptional—clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up. Watching the sunset over the dunes on camelback followed by a traditional dinner under the stars was pure magic. The team went above and beyond to make the evening special, from the Berber music to the warm hospitality. If you are looking for a high-end, stress-free way to experience the Sahara, I highly recommend booking with Discover Sahara Tours. They curated a perfect, unforgettable adventure for us, and we can’t wait to return!"
We liked it a lot, highly recommended, excellent service. Mustafá is a very good guide!!
I measured a great trip and I had a great driver, the journey was super cool, I recommend it
Our guide Hamid was amazing. He was super helpful, incredibly kind, fun, and made the 2-day Zagora tour a great experience from start to finish. He kept the energy up the whole time, made everyone feel comfortable, and was really supportive of the group throughout the trip. The desert, camel ride, camp, music, and scenery were all incredible, and the overall vibes and energy were great. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Hamid as your guide.
