Private Desert tour to Erg Chebbi with family

This was a unique experience which me and my family will cherish for the rest of our lives. Thank you Abidine for making it possible. Your prompt response to all my queries helped me plan my trip better. A million thanks to Ismail (our guide) who made sure we had a wonderful time through the trip. We feel like we made a great friend in him. From introducing us to local music, to tirelessly driving the 4 days, to taking us to these amazing riads run by the most wonderful people, to showing us the main sites to see along the way - he was simply amazing. This tour helped us experience Morocco in a way that no other tour could. We met amazing families who hosted us. The desert camp was spectacular. I was worried that being a vegetarian and not being able to speak arabic or french would be major hurdles - definitely not so. This tour made it so easy to manage. This is something I would recommend to anyone planning on spending time in Morocco.

Amazing experience .

We took a 4 day guided tour with Abidine and it was a fabulous experience. Right from the start, Abdoul/ yousef were flexible when it came to customising our itinerary and including all the details we wanted.

We had Hamid as our guide and driver. We spent 4 days with him on the road and it was a fabulous experience, seeing Morocco with all the local insights.

Everyone was so thoughtful and attentive, including the staff / owners at the various accommodations we stayed at.

Can’t recommend this enough. This tour was a big part of our trip being memorable. Thank you 🙏 Abidine for everything.

An Unforgettable Desert Adventure with Ismael and Abidine

I traveled through Morocco for four weeks as a young woman traveling alone, and my desert journey with Private Desert Tours and the two brothers, Ismael and Abidine, became one of the most meaningful and unforgettable experiences of my entire trip.

Ismael and Abidine lovingly crafted my three-day stay around my wishes, creating a journey that felt both adventurous and deeply personal. From endless, breathtaking drives through the desert to the majestic Erg Chebbi dunes, across the Atlas Mountains, and finally to the ocean — where I closed this magical adventure with a sunset horseback ride on the beach — every moment felt special.

Throughout the entire experience, I felt completely safe, cared for, and at ease. More than guides, Ismael and Abidine became like true friends, sharing their world with kindness, humor, and genuine warmth.

From the bottom of my heart, I can wholeheartedly recommend their tours. If you are searching for something truly special to complete your journey — something authentic, soulful, and unforgettable — don’t hesitate to reach out to Ismael or Abidine.

You will be in the very best hands.

Magical Family Vacation!!

We just got back from a trip of a lifetime to Morocco! We traveled in a large group of friends with kids under 10 years old and Private Desert Tours made the experience so seamless and magical! We spent 3 days immersed in the beauty of the Merzouga desert doing some fun off-roading activities, visiting some authentic places, and soaking in the sheer beauty of the desert sunsets and sunrises. The desert in camp was luxurious and the staff were very hospitable and adept to their environment. Our guides/drivers were thorough professionals, I now consider them my dear friends and getting to know them better and having them explain to us (and our kids) in great detail about every different landscape, culture, nomadic lifestyle, etc was one of the best parts of our trip. The cars we had for the trip were in great condition and very comfortable for our family of 4 as well - which was very important to me given the amount of time we spent on the road! I would recommend Private Desert Tours to anyone that wants to visit Morocco and experience the Sahara!! Thank you, and we will certainly be back!

I had a wonderful trip to Erg Chebbi desert with very nice stops along the day. Accommodation and food was very good and the highlight was my guide/driver Ismail who too very good care of the entire itinerary.

Steve HTripadvisor★★★★★

Magical experience in Morocco

Everything about our tour was first class.

Abidene went above and beyond with his help in booking our trip. He was very responsive to my many questions and always provided answers in a timely manner.

Ismail was our driver and guide and was wonderful in every sense of the word. When our flight landed late, he was flexible with our request to start our tour a few hours late. He navigated the roads like a pro and timed our stops well to make the long journey as comfortable as possible.

We spent 2 nights at the Orient Desert Camp, and it was a terrific, completely unique experience.

We are very glad we trusted Private Desert Tours to make our experience one that we’ll never forget.!
