    Desert trip from Marrakesh best Morocco private tour

    We booked the private tour of a 3-day 3 trip from Marrakesh to the desert and back.
    We got picked up by the driver in a comfortable van and were underway in no time.
    The itinerary was perfect for the 3 days. Not too cramped and with a lot of unexpected sights along the way.
    The knowledgeable driver was super. We felt very safe and always in control of North African traffic….not easy to achieve, but he did. He explained well along the way what was going on and we felt well informed at all times. On the second day of our 3-day Merzouga desert trip, we went to Tenghir – todra gorges – tinjdad – Erfoud – Merzouga dunes
    The desert experience was of course the highlight. A tent camp with WiFi, excellent food, stunning sunrise and spectacular sunset
    We enjoyed this trip in large part especially Merzouga Sahara, thanks to the good organization of the tour operator and the excellent service by the driver and the different subcontractors (hotel, restaurant, desert tour,, etc) if we are going back, we would book with Ali again
