4 of us went on the 3 days desert tour from Marrakech to Fes with Ibrahim, our driver/guide. It was a great experience, and we are thrilled with the service. The Sahara tour was well-organized, the accommodation was even better than we expected. Ibrahim is a very nice and professional driver/guide. He knows a lot about his fabulous country. Moreover, we had a memorable night in the Sahara Desert! Absolutely amazing. The Berber tents were tidy and luxurious. The entertainment area has a romantic feel to it and is great for photos. The staff was friendly and hospitable, the food was extremely delicious. Furthermore, the camel experience in the Merzouga dunes was one of our goals for this trip. We highly recommend Morocco Tabiarte Tours!

it was a spectacular experience, incredible vistas of south Morocco, wonderful shots during Camel ride tour, sunset and the following morning sunrise. We were 10 in the group from the UK. Merzouga is so far from Marrakech, however we spent the first night in Boumalne dades to break up the journey. The night in Merzouga desert was unforgettable. We traveled at the end of November, the weather conditions were perfect during the day, so we enjoyed several stops with interesting lookouts throughout the Atlas Mountains and beyond. Great value for money, highly recommended!
