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!

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.

Unforgettable

Overall amazing experience. Everything was taken care of so there was nothing we had to worry about. Ismail was so patient with us throughout the 3 days. The accommodations were all amazing the car was nice and extremely clean. I definitely recommend to anyone visiting Morocco and considering doing any sort of tour. 1000/10

Sabrine STripadvisor★★★★★

Private desert tour

I must say we really enjoyed the 3-day tour especially the hours in the Sahara, Dades, Todra and Ait Ben haddou as well as the 2 hotels & restaurants that you recommended. These days serve a big break for us after lots of hassle in Marrakech as we were couple so outstanding there. Abdou, our driver, was very nice, friendly & helpful and he is the type person that does not keep you on talking which perfectly fits our style. Last not not least, thank you Abdoul of taking care of us during the 3 day and we'll not hesitate to recommend Private desert tours

ScottFairfaxTripadvisor★★★★★

Highlight of our trip

From day one, Abidine was extremely responsive and helpful with our questions and helping us with our decision on picking the right tour for our time frame in Morocco. Always very pleasant and professional, we had no problem booking our tour for two

abroad. Thank you Abidine for all of your help and organization!

When our 3-day tour actually started, we had no idea we were in for the trip of our lives. Our driver and guide, Ismaï, was prompt and on schedule, yet patient and accommodating for us whenever we wanted to stop for pictures. Also, he was great company with lots of insight without being an overbearing tour guide. He knows his way around..he never had to look at the map!

All stops were culturally immersive and fun, especially the Berber guest house in Gorges Dades. Very kind people who took care of us and cooked us the best dinner we had in Morocco! Not to mention the camel trekking and staying in the Berber tent. An unforgettable nights.

This is the real deal for a tour. Private is not an understatement, it was just us two with our private drive and our time. We were so happy we weren't on the bus tours loaded with other tourists. Private Desert Tours has given us memories for all our lives and we will without a doubt recommend this tour to any friends or family who plan to travel to Morocco. Our dream is to return one day and we will be booking with Private Desert Tours again.

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.
