My friends and I had a blast touring the Sahara Desert! The trip to and from the desert was full of lots of fun stops, but our experience in the... read more Sahara was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Abdoul was a wonderful guide and taught us so much about Morocco. Abidene graciously answered many questions from us prior to the trip and was easily able to arrange for vegetarian meals. We truly had an incredible experience - it’s been the highlight of our trip; and I highly recommend Private Desert Tours. I plan on booking another, longer tour with them the next time I visit Morocco!!

  Our honeymoon in Morocco was unreal thanks to Abidine . The planning was seamless and stress free. We simply highlighted the destinations we wanted to visit and the rest was... read more magic. From the hotels, food and guides there was not one complaint. The culture, people and architecture is outstanding.

One highlight of our trip was the outstanding customer service. We received treatment as if we were staying at the Riad everywhere. Moroccan's are deeply invested in tourism. Our driver, Ismail was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He kept us safe and on schedule as well as provided great company. He tied the whole trip together and we could not have imagined a better trip leader.

I am recommending PRIVATE DESERT TOURS to all of my friends and family. We plan to use their service again in the near future.

  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... read more 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.

  Incredible Memories Made! - My partner and I stayed in Morocco for 12 days in January 2023 and discovered Private Desert Tours only a week before we were due to arrive. The 5 day... read more tour slotted in perfectly with our gap in the middle of our holiday. It was the last thing we booked, and anytime we visit Morocco again, a tour with Private Desert Tours will be the first thing we book. It was honestly brilliant!

Our guide/driver Ismail met us at our Riad in Marrakech and could not have been more helpful. He was welcoming, chatting to us about places we were passing, teaching us phrases and we wouldn't have seen even a fraction of Morocco if it wasn't for Ismail. He really made this trip such a wonderful and relaxed experience.

The highlight for me was camel riding and visiting the desert as it was truly magicial and it's somewhere I will go back again and again.

If you're thinking of doing a tour I cannot recommend Private Desert Tours enough, communication was exceptional, if we had any questions we could ask via whats app and get a quick response. It felt like they really cared about giving us the best experience. (And we really did).

We cannot thank Private Desert Tours and Ismail enough for giving us the best experience and best start to 2023. Thank you for the incredible memories!

  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... read more 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.

  Couscous’s Desert Camel - Excellent ride through the desert on the Japanese camel. Truly hilarious, unique and amazing out-of-this-world experience.

  A great option for solo travellers  - I had an awesome 9 day tour in December with Ismael. He adjusted my itinerary to suit my liking and also to adapt for some unpredicted weather - making... read more sure that I got the most out of all my time in Morocco. He was friendly and professional, providing good company as he drove and also accompanying me in the cities at some points during my tour so that I wasn't alone the entire time.

The riads that I stayed in were cute and cozy, the local guides that the company partners with provided interesting tidbits about their cities. My tour also included several meals, and I was impressed with the quality as sometimes the included meals on these types of tours are lacklustre - but this was not the case on this tour. I particularly enjoyed the meal during my stay in Dades Valley.

The highlight for me was the desert sunset and I wish that I had been able to stay in the desert longer yet as it was peaceful, and as Ismael said - "the desert is where you go to find yourself".

  Amazing experience - This year I decided to do my yearly birthday trip in Morocco and I knew I wanted to see more than just Marakesh. I found PDT via Google and after... read more a few emails back and forth Abidene managed to tailor the tour to my desire (from Marakesh to Dades valley, desert, Fes, Chefchaouen, Meknes, Casablanca and back to Marakesh)
The tour itself was lovely, we met very hospitable local people and learned a little bit about the history of Morocco, even managed to forget my fear and rode a camel.
Ismail, our driver, was very nice, friendly and most importantly was an excellent driver which is quite a quality to have here:))
On my birthday (even though I kept it a secret), I was surprised with a birthday cake and a present to remember the trip. Kudos also to the Fes local guide that was amazing and managed to organize for me a lot of tiny surprises on my birthday. He made us regret not spending more time in Fes, maybe next time.
Overall the tour was memorable experience that I definitely recommend. We will definitely book another tour with PDT when we visit Morocco again.

  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... read more 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.

The entire experience was... read more beautifully organized from start to finish — smooth planning, excellent communication, and truly exceptional service.
Our itinerary took us from Marrakech → Ait Ben Haddou → Dades Valley → Merzouga & the Sahara Desert Camp → Fes → Chefchaouen → Marrakech, and every destination was a highlight in its own way. The Sahara was absolutely magical, and we even added a 4-wheeler (ATV) ride across the dunes — an exhilarating and totally worth-it extra!
A huge shout-out to the amazing team who made our journey so special:
Ismael, our private driver — kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable
Mustafa, our guide in Marrakech — warm, engaging, and full of insight
Tyamy, our guide in Fes — thoughtful, informative, and wonderful to spend time with
They are truly wonderful people, and their care and professionalism elevated the entire experience.
