I had an excellent extended tour with Desert Day Tours!! 🏜️ 💃🏻 🌊 🌅 🐠 🏔️ 🚘 🌄 - I contacted Mohammed from Desert Day Tours when I was planning my solo trip to Morocco in the month for November 2022.

This was with regards to two tours... read more I was interested in booking -
(1) Marrakech to Merzouga tour : 5 days
(2) Essaouira day trip from Marrakech : 2 days

I wanted to customize both trips in a specific way and I contacted 5 other tour operators for this, at the same time as Desert Day Tours. The reason I decided to go with Mohammed was because his prices seemed reasonable compared to others, he had a quick turnaround time with responses to all my questions (and I had many :)) and I got a very genuine vibe from him in all my initial communications with him on email and WhatsApp. He also planned my itinerary really well and the hotels he recommended as part of the itinerary were amazing - clean, highly rated, great service and with good food. The restaurants he took me to, for rest stops and lunch breaks were also very good. The car was huge, clean with AC and he even had a cooler to keep drinks and food fresh / cold.

When we finally started the tour, as a bonus - he was also my driver and tour guide for both trips and that made me feel more comfortable as well since I had already been in contact with him and as a solo female traveler, the familiarity at that point made me more comfortable as well.

Throughout the tours, Mohammed was always on time for my pickups, is an excellent / safe / skilled driver, is chivalrous and always always always opened and closed the door for me, offered to take photos for me whenever I wanted some and is just a really good guy. He is also very knowledgeable about nuances associated with different places, knows the most optimized routes on walking tours and mini hikes part of the tour, and did everything he possibly could, to make this an unforgettable experience for me.

He even went above and beyond for me as he knew I was going through a really stressful time on my trip (with Royal Air Maroc losing my bags with all my stuff, among other things for almost 3 weeks). Whenever I needed help with negotiating while shopping, or calling the airline for updates or even an accommodation in Marrakech for 2 days, he was there and willing to help me.

Overall, I had a great time and felt very safe with Mohammed being my tour guide. I don’t see myself using any other company if I ever decide to go back to Morocco and do more tours there. It literally felt like I was on a road trip with my friend and a well wisher, not someone I met for the first time in my life.

Mohammed is kind and excellent at his job and I would recommend his company - Desert Day Tours, and his services to anyone visiting Morocco.

  We had a great experience with Desert Day Tours! Our driver was M'barek, he was a very good driver and we felt really safe during the whole tour! The car... read more was in perfect condition, really clean and comfortable. The night at Dihya Desert Camp was magical! We would totally recommend this experience!

  what a great trip and what a great experience to know Mohammed, and all his help for my group. Will be back and will use his help again and again!

  My friend and I booked the 4 day tour from Marrakech-Merzouga Desert-Marrakech. The whole trip was amazing from start to finish. Our guide Youssef was so knowledgeable, friendly and great... read more company on the long drives! The views throughout the tour were incredible, the places we stayed were pleasant and the staff were all so kind. The night in the desert was the best part, Camel riding, amazing food, music and chatting by the fire. The people we met really made the tour such a special experience and I've made memories I will never forget! Recommend this to anyone visiting Morocco!

  If you're looking to book, look no further- we had the most fabulous 4 days with this company and can't recommend it enough. The communication before the trip was quick... read more and efficient and the prices reasonable. From the moment Mohammed picked us up in Fes we knew we were in good hands and we could sit back and enjoy the trip. Everything was really well organised- no hiccups at all. Mohammed was a great driver (we felt safe on the roads), guide, gentleman ( he always opened and closed the car door for me ;)) and was a great companion. It was an absolute pleasure to spend the 4 days with him. The accommodation chosen by Desert Day Tours was also great- we absolutely LOVED our time at Dihya Desert Camp ( 2 nights) and had a restful night stop at the hospitable Dar Ahlam in Dades. We spent 14 days in beautiful Morocco and our 4 days with them was my personal favourite. A big thumbs up to both Mohammeds 🙂 Thanks very much

  We engaged their services for 4d3n in late november from Fes to Marrakesh. Youssef was a great driver who navigated the long windy mountainous roads with ease, it also put... read more us at ease and we even fell asleep most times as we felt safe. He was always very patient while waiting for us to be ready, and also when he had to drove back because we didn't know we had left something behind in a hotel on the mountain (which was about a 15mins drive back!) but he wasn't pissed or anything. A very flexible and easygoing guy. Thumbs-up!

The sahara desert adventure was extremely awesome. It was a wild ride to get into the sahara desert, going up and down the sand dunes. We visited nomads who stayed in the desert and chilled out at their accommodation having their speciality; berber tea and nuts. Of course we also got to see camels, and even rode one close to sunset time, climbing a tall sand dune to sit at the top and watch the sunset. The Dihya desert camp that we got was a very new experience for us, sleeping in a tent. After dinner, there was firecamp and performance by the camp crew, singing and playing African percussions to their berber songs. It got super duper cold at night, but that's beside the point. It was a very memorable night that we will never forget.

Overall, we would recommend desert day tours for your trip in Morocco.

  We did a 3-day tour that started in Marrakech and ended in Fez.

This tour was without a doubt the highlight of our 10 day trip to Morocco.... read more From day one everything was perfect. Our guide (Mohammed) picked us up at the Riad and made us feel welcome with his friendliness. During the entire trip Mohammed was available to answer any type of question and left us completely at ease.

The tour included a tour of the Atlas Mountains, Aït Benhaddou's kasbah, Monkey Fingers, Todgha Gorge, not to mention the breathtaking landscapes we saw along the way.

When we arrived in the desert, dromedaries were waiting for us and we went to see a stunning sunset over the dunes of the sahara. The camp where we spent the night is magnificent and worthy of a 5 star hotel. Upon arrival at the camp we were very well received and at the end of the dinner, which was also very good, we were entitled to a very good performance of traditional desert music.

We start the next day watching the sun rise over the stunning dunes of the sahara before leaving for Fez. Once again, we were treated to the most beautiful landscapes that culminated in the interaction with the monkeys in the Azrou Mountains.

This trip was worth every penny and we hope to return one day. A big thank you to Desert Days Tour and Mohammed for this memorable experience.

  Best experience ever! - We had an amazing experience. Youssef was the best guide throughout. It was a wonderful time at the desert camp.

  We did a 2 night tour of the Sahara desert from/to Fes. Yassin was an amazing guide, really fun and knowledgable. He helped us tailor the tour to what we... read more wanted to do, and we enjoyed everything he suggested. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommend.

  Family of five- 4 nights Marakesh to Fes - We are a family of 5 and took a 4 night tour from Marakesh to Fes. It was an experience we will never forget. Our guide Daoud was kind and... read more knowledgeable with Moroccan and Berber history. For me the highlight was our time in the Sahara at the desert camp. The light is magical. The people all over Morocco were kind and giving.
I will definitely recommend Mohommad and his team.

  We did this tour for 2 nights and 3 days coming from Fes. We were able to tailor the tour and go at our own pace. Yassin was a great... read more tour guide and really took care of us and was flexible with our needs and requests for the trip, it felt like hanging out with a friend!

  Mohammad was an excellent guide. He was prompt and efficient in dealing with any queries or matters and was extremely pleasant to be around. The driver Hamid was also excellent,... read more we felt extremely safe on the road and saw some wonderful sights. The car was also very comfortable. We felt like we were taken excellent care of. Everything was very polished and organised. The camp and hotel were also much nicer than we were expecting. We did the 3 days 2 night tour, the first night in a camp and the second in a hotel. The camel ride at sunset was also definitely unforgettable. Definitely a trip to remember!

  As part of our time in Morocco our family of 7 wanted to spend time in the desert. We typically do all our own tours and do not hire guides.... read more After a little research into all the steps of getting from Marrakech to the desert and onto Fes, it became clear the best option in every way was to hire a guide. I scoured reviews online and chose Desert Day Tours. Mohammed, our guide, catered our tour to our personal likes (more local & adventure, no shopping). Sandboarding on the dunes was especially fun for all of us. Every part of our time with him was wonderful. The riads they booked for us exceeded our expectations - as did every part of our tour. I am so grateful we chose to go with Desert Day Tours instead of doing it on our own. It was an unforgettable experience for our family.

  The food was delicious and the jokes around the fire were priceless. Our guide/driver Youseff is kind, patient, smart, fun and a great driver w wonderful information. His English is... read more awesome ask him about HellifIknow ~I miss him.

  Four day desert tour - Had a wonderful time!
Youssef was a great guide showing us so much and being so welcoming
The highlights was the camel riding, staying in the desert and the... read more guys who looked after us so well- they were very accommodating and showed us their culture and music

  As Indonesians who traveled not by arranged tours from our country, we hope to experience Morocco in the best way possible, we decided to just go and look for local... read more people to guide us. So, it was pretty amazing to find Desert Day Tours as one of our guide and it became the best 3-Days life experience from Fez to Marrakech via the Atlas Mountain and the Sahara for us. The service was great with quite reasonable price, and we ride on a very comfortable car and also stayed one night at the luxury Sahara camp and the second night at a small hotel at Dades Valley, which was a beautiful place.

Our driver named Hassan, he was super helpful and funny and also shared lots of useful information for us. He explained everything along the way, and we even celebrated his birthday on the way. He invited us to his house, when we passed by his hometown and met his mother and his sister, we ate fresh baked khobz and had moroccan tea which are amazing.

Thank you Desert Day Tours.

  Desert Day tours organised a bespoke 6 day/5night trip from Fes to Marrakesh via the mountains and desert.

Our guide and driver, Hamid, was friendly, reliable and shared plenty... read more of the Berber culture with us. We had short hikes along the way and a day trek with camels. The trip was flexible each day with extra stops suggested for additional kasbahs, panoramic views and local produce.

Hamid was also a very safe driver compared to others we witnessed.

Would highly recommend.

  I highly don’t recommend this agency coz it’s such a crazy capitalist Company , they only care about tip i doesn’t matter how they can get it from you .... read more

Terrible driver he been late all the time , He been all time spending high even if then spend limits is specific at the road , They dont even speak ENGLISH , i try many times to get something from here but nothing . only was like Hahah with some berber words as a dumb .

I and my wife we wasted our time and our vocation for like this kind of stupid people , Even if they talking with you about the experience that you gonna have with them in Morocco but that all just a fake promises .

I been talking to a guy in Sahara Desert about travel agencies in Morocco , and by accident he asked me about our tour costs , then boom surprise they add extra charges for ass around 1500$ extra more then people they use to get it , Coz we are Americans we handle to much dollars as they said .

i highly don’t recommend this company for you , There is a bunch if palace to visit in Morocco but not with this kind of stupid people .

Angel .

We also had and excellent service from (Ismael) our driver who was very friendly and accommodated to our needs to feel very comfortable. We really recommend Desert day Tours for you to experience Morrocco. This was our first trip to Morrocco and had a very nice experience.

  Great tour - The desert camp was beautiful. We had a great time with our tour guide Youssef . The accommodation was good. The places were beautiful.very Kind people

  It was one of the most memorable holidays that any of my friends had ever had. I did an internet search last year and found great reviews about Desert Tour.... read more We had a specific plan for 10 days in Morocco for the 6 of us. And Mohammed Taghloui is one of the few agents that able to accomodate to our needs and able to personalise our trip. And he has the best reasonable price. For the same 10 days trip , other companies will charge you much more. We only need to give low deposit of MAD3000 for 6 of us and we paid cash for balance when we arrived there. Our tour starts from Marakech-Dandes Valley-Erg Chebbi Camp-Fez-Chefchouan-Pass through rabat -Casablanca -Marakech airport. He booked all the hotels we have asked for,upgraded our tour bus to 17 seater from 12 seater bus, gave us wonderful driver Mohamed Boumeshoul and wonderful guides in Marakech and Fes. Our driver Mohamed Boumeshoul has been so much fun, helpful and we all love him like our little brother. He is also full of knowledge on the places that we pass by and stays. He was very accomodative to our needs. Example, when 3 of my friends did not get their checked in baggage from Turkish airline ,for 3 days ..he drove up and down driving my friends to the airport up and down until the 3rd day they finally got their luggage.Our guide in Marakech,Mustapha Ohassou has also been super helpful going to the airport to assist my friends.Because of the delayed baggage, we had to change n push forward our itinerary, the owner Mr.Mohamed Taghloui was so great that he allowed us to made the changes without extra cost..except the extra night in marakech we had to pay ourselves which we can claim from the airline and insurance. ALL the hotels were beautiful and clean. The experience in Sahara Desert was like a dream. It was one one my friends birthday..i Asked the owner's help to organise a surprise during the Berber show at the camp after dinner. He arranged for a surprise Birthday cake for my friend and they brought the cake in the middle of the performance n sang birthday song in berber way in front of the fireplace under the stars...and later we danced the night away.. surreal experience..earlier in the day before we had ATV bike ride and after that camel rides to the camp.in Fez , we have a very knowledgeable guide name Mohammed Ohga ..we only stayed for one night n we should have stayed for 3 days and 2 mights to experience Fez fully.We made a mistake of going there on Friday as all the shops in souk are closed on Friday.so..if u have a long trip..organise your desert camp on a Friday.so make sure places u go that has souk is not on Friday lile Marakech,Fez and casablanca...and if you have a guude , please inform guide to allow you to shop around at the souks before taking you to the bigger shops which has more quality and choices because there are the factory outlet(quality means much more pricey).Chefchouan is super beautiful..we had one of the hotel staffs to show the
place to take Insta friendly pics..too many
to write here..just want to say that
Desert Day Tour have given us unbelievable experience in a life time at a very reasonable cost.i will definitely recommend to my friends n my families because Mohamed Taghloui are trustworthy with excellent staffs and services. I have done my research , he would be one of the best travel agency in Morocco as they give what is beyond expected.Thank you Desert Day! You will see us again one day

  Our Morocco trip had been the best for us. Thank you to Mahammed and Ismael for making our stay worthwhile. We got the chance not just to travel and learn... read more the culture but also to meet and build friendship with some locals. I also got to celebrate my birthday in the desert; thanks for the effort and the cake, I really appreciate it so much. You guys made our Morocco trip very special and it will definitely be in our hearts forever. 'Till next time.

  One amazing night in the desert with camels, sand surfing and campfires - We left from Marrakech, spent one night in a beautiful gorge near Ourzazate and then went into the desert. The stay in the desert was by far the highlight of... read more our whole Morocco trip. We rode camels into the beautiful Sahara sand dunes, watched the sun set, and then rode back into camp for dinner. The food and accommodation was amazing - the best tajine we had and great tent with hot shower and heated blankets. After dinner, we sat around the camp fire listening to Berber music (live), and danced and drummed a little ourselves, and ended the night by sharing stories and riddles over the fire. The desert night was so beautiful and all the stars and planets were the clearest I’ve ever seen them. The next morning, we climbed into the dunes to watch the sunrise and sand board. My kids loved it and can’t stop talking about it. After a great breakfast, we went onward to Fes, where we were dropped at our next Riad and left the tour. There were many lovely stops along the way, which are all optional, but we dressed up like Berbers in one place, saw a famous casbah, saw how they mine and shine fossils, saw monkeys near Fes and walked through some amazing gorges with springs and unique rock formations. I would definitely recommend this tour and we are planning on coming back as soon as we can to stay for longer and go further into the desert.

  I highly recommend this company “Desert day tours”. Visited Morocco with the wife for our honeymoon and had an incredible experience doing the 3 day tour. This would not have... read more been possible with the help of Said and Hamid. Said is very knowledge about the culture and history. Said offered valuable advice for the areas we visited to ensure that we would get the best out it as well as answer any questions that we had. Hamid is a great driver who will get you from point A to B without any issues we felt safe with him behind the wheel. They ensured that our time in Morocco would be an unforgettable experience. I suggest doing the private tour. We were able to stop and take as many pictures as we wanted. The accommodations that were made were great from the hotels to the food stops along the way. During the trip we stopped at a local restaurant and after sitting down and looking at the menu my wife and I did not like the options provided. Said was more than happy to take us to a different place which I appreciated. Day two of the tour I experienced stomach pain most likely from something I ate. Said suggested that we stop at a Pharmacy to get medicine which they drove us to without hesitation. He even went inside with us to make sure I got what I needed and communicated with the pharmacist. Long story short I was able to get the proper over the counter med and later that night the stomach pain went away. I can not stress enough how genuine Hamid and Said are. Thank you guys for making our trip to Morocco an unforgettable experience!! If it was possible to give over a 5 star review I would! Booking your tour with “Desert day tours” is a must if you visit Morocco. If you get stuck with Said and Hamid trust me you will have an incredible trip!

  Best time I’ve ever - We agreed to join our friends on this tour, and it was the best choice we've ever made. From Marrakech to the desert, Youssef picked us up, and in route... read more we visited some amazing locations. He is a nice person, and we had a great time in the desert under a night sky. Food is always delicious. Thank you so much Youssef and others too for made us wonderful moments.

  We had an incredible experience with their 3-day tour from Fes to Marrakech. Our driver Mohamed was kind, helpful and his driving skills are exceptional. He took good care of... read more us and made our trip comfortable. Our favourite part was the night spent at the desert. Strongly recommend!

  My wife and I took the Marrakesh to Sahara to Fes 2 night tour with Ismael earlier this month and had an unforgettable experience. Ismael is a great driver and... read more a wonderful guide, it's clear he cares so much about Morocco and loves sharing his country with visitors. Ismael even organized a tour for us in Fes the day after our return. Throughout the entire tour, the food and accomodations were amazing, but our conversations with him made it unforgettable. In addition, communication with Mohammed to organize the tour was easy, straight forward, and fairly priced. I highly recommend booking with Desert Day Tours, it was such a highlight on our trip to Morocco.

  The Merzouga dessert tour was amazing and worth the time and money! It was also my boyfriend’s birthday while we were in the desert and they organised for a cake... read more which was such a surprise and a wonderful gesture. Made the night even more special with the fire and music

We planned our booking a month in advance, but since arriving in Morocco with the curfew etc, we decided to cut our trip short. When we did this we were refunded the deposit immediately which the possibility of it I think is quite comforting to know. When we couldn’t change our flights, We booked our tour the day before we were supposed to leave and the owner Mohammed was very accomodating. Take into consideration when In the year you go as we went in august and this is one of the hottest months so there is less tours due to this.

The first day started with a pickup from Fes and a day drive to Merzouga with many stops in between. Besides the common stops on the road to Merzouga the driver (Mohamed) also stopped wherever we wanted for pictures or for example for a toilet stop. Mohamed speaks good English and can tell you about the history of areas on the road but can also tell you about Moroccan traditions and language in general, feel free to ask whatever you want to know about the country! Our driver was also quite funny but I guess that depends on your sense of humour ;).

All stays during the trip were comfortable and were on excellent, clean and convenient locations.
We ourselves also investigated driving on our own but that is honestly not really worth it taking in consideration that you don’t get extra information about the area and culture, there are off-road roads your rent car can probably not drive to reach some panoramic views and that it is very hard to finish all stops within 2 days. Besides this with a driver the whole trip is hassle free which is a welcoming piece of mind during your trip throughout Marocco. While driving there were many police stops and speed checks that we would not have know driving ourselves. Overall the costs may have been the slightest amount extra if you paid as a local, but as a tourist if you tried to plan the whole trip yourself, you definitely would pay the same amount as the tour is prices. So pricing wise, I’d say we were satisfied paying 325 per person.

Concluding, the excellent service, planning and price of the tour is worth your time and shouldn’t be forgotten within your stay in Marocco.
