Price/quality of the tour not in line with expectations and felt like the southern part of the itinerary (Marrakesh - Zagora - erg chigaga - and all the way to Merzouga) were a bit of a waste of time. The "luxury" camp for the night in erg chigaga was 50km away from the road and reachable only via 4x4. We got there just before the sunset and left just before sunrise - very high waste of time and money, since you do not really enjoy the time there and you'll be sitting in a casa for the first three days. Big shout out to the driver, which professionaly drove us during the itinerary and represented the company (which disappear during the itinerary and didn't even jump on a call with me when on day 1 our accommodation was of very poor quality and not in line with the Royal package I had paid for), saving their asses. The most interesting part of the tour started in Merzouga desert (erg chebbi - amazing dunes, packed with activities, and great sunset/sunrise). The way back to Marrakesh through the gourges was also nice. If I had known in advance I'd have picked a tour of the northern part of the loop of the itinerary, skipping the itinerary that went through Zagora. @fd.rc

We had the most amazing time with Houssine on the trip. He looked after us and our needs extremely well. As vegetarians we weren't sure how reliable and good the food would be but excellent restaurants which cater well for dietary needs has been sourced. I had the best vegetarian tagine I'd ever had in the Sahara dessert at Nomad restaurant.
If resources allow, please do not hesitate to book the 4 night tour. You get so much more out of it, riding the sand dunes in 4x4, meeting nomadic tribes and just getting to chill in the Sahara, walking the dunes. If you do 3 nights you arrive in the evening then get up to head home for sunrise so you don't get quite the same experience.
We had some customers on our tour who were quite demanding but discover Sahara tours did everything they could to try and help them.
One of the best tours of my life. My 8 year old got so much out of it too.

Very enjoyable and well organized day tour to Ait Ben Haddou through the Atlas Mountains. We travelled kilometres of stunning views and landscapes, especially the Tizi N'Tichka Pass.
Ismail Elhafidi is a great guide, very friendly and attentive. He showed us around the fabulous village individually. His sense of humour kept the trip fun and exciting.
Reasonable price, highly recommended!

The trip to Zagora was great, Ismail and Ahmed looked after us and made us feel welcome.
The accommodation was comfortable and the communal area was good to get to know others. The food was delicious and the team at the camp was friendly and helpful.
Would recommend for a two day trip out of Marrakech.

We had a blast ringing in the new year in the Desert! All the guides and hosts we met along the way were top notch and super welcoming. Although it’s quite a bit of driving (we were well aware beforehand), there were plenty of stops and other sights to see along the way that helped break up the drive as well as add value to the overall experience. Our 8 year old had a blast as well, so I would recommend it for the whole family.

We did 5-day trip with Discover Sahara Tours was absolutely fantastic! From breathtaking desert landscapes to charming villages, every moment was unforgettable. The highlight was reaching the remote dunes of Chegaga, where we enjoyed a magical sunset camel trek and spent a peaceful night in a comfortable desert camp under the stars.
The entire journey was well-organized, with great accommodations, delicious meals, and an excellent team that made sure we were comfortable and happy throughout. This trip was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend Discover Sahara Tours for an unforgettable desert experience!
