Great Tour Fes to Erg Chebbi

3 days 2 nights Desert Tour Fes to Erg Chebbi desert with Abdo & Said, nothing was ever a hassle, they knew all the stops for great views and photos & they both really made our trip so enjoyable & fun. We had a lot of laughs & learned a lot about Berbers (& good riddles) and always felt like we were in safe hands. The accommodation was perfect & Said was always thoughtful about everything and always ensured we were happy. Highlights were the camel ride, feeding monkeys in Cedar forest & sunset in the Sahara dunes. We wish we could have spent more time with them & feel now we have Berber friends!

Amazing Sahara trip

This tour Fes to Erg Chebbi Desert was absolutely amazing. Hassan was our driver and tour guide, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience, as we drove from Fes to Erg Chebbi. He was very flexible in making stops where and when we wanted, and his English is perfect. He is the real gem. The desert experience is definitely luxurious so don’t worry – it’s more like glamping. Make sure to bring and drink lots of water, and try all the local food. It’s one of a kind!

Morocco Desert Trip

The 3 days tour Fes to Marrakech via Erg Chebbi was the highlight of my trip to Morocco. I booked with Visit Morocco Sahara extremely last minute and they pulled some strings and made it happen for me. My tour guide Hamid was amazing and I’d like to think I made a lifetime friend. The people that run this tour are just incredibly kind people and you want to support kind people. The camel ride to the camp was amazing but the tour has so many other beautiful moments too. I’m so grateful and highly recommend this tour.
