This journey combines breathtaking mountain landscapes, cultural discoveries, camel trekking, and an unforgettable night in a traditional desert camp.

Absolutely unforgettable experience! My wife, two young children, and I took a 5 day trip from Marrakech to the Sahara and we had the time of our lives! Our driver and guide Brahim is a fantastic guy. He taught us so much about the daily life in Morocco, about all the historical monuments along the way, about the Amazigh culture, and about the Sahara region (which is his home). He made such an incredible effort to make sure that we did anything and everything that we wanted on our journey. The kids also had so much fun because of Brahim. We already miss him as a good friend and we will keep in touch! Just a few words on the accommodations we stayed at along the way: comfortable and perfect for what we needed. The desert camp itself was perfect for us. Great staff, delicious food, and peaceful location. I recommend Moroko Tour 100% for anyone who wants to dive deep into the rich culture of Morocco and create memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to Brahim, Ali, and the entire Moroko Tour staff!! 😎🌴🐪🐪🐪🐪🌴🦎

I am so glad that we chose Morokotour for our 5-day journey to the desert, an unforgettable experience! These guys are the real local experts and are also genuinely very good people. From the beginning, before even booking, the communication via email with Ali was excellent, he gave great advice and answered every question with honesty. Our guide - Brahim - we were so lucky to have him with us! We learned so much about the real Morocco, the Amazigh culture and the desert region in those 5 days, thanks to Brahim and the conversations we had with him. He took us to all the right places, not only to the tourist spots but also to places where you could have a glimpse in to the everyday life of the locals. Thank you Brahim and the whole team for an unforgettable experience ❤️

Excelente experiencia. Si quieres conocer la profundidad y la magia de este espectacular país tienes que pasar por Mochileros Meraki. El tándem de Said y Natalia es espectacular. Viaje inolvidable y totalmente recomendable si quieres salir de tu zona de certidumbre. Inigualable experiencia con los dromedarios y Quads a través de las dunas. Si quieres dormir en la dunas contemplado el manto de estrellas, este es tu destino.

Lagun talde bat Marokora joan gara, eta MorokoTour agentziarekin bizitako esperientzia benetan zoragarria izan da. 7 eguneko bidaia honetan, hasieratik amaierara arte, guztia primeran antolatuta egon da, xehetasun txikiena ere zainduz, eta uneoro lasai eta seguru sentitu gara. Momentu oro etxean bezala sentiarazi gaituzte, hurbiltasunari, arretari eta gizatasunari esker. Marokoko kultura barrutik ezagutzeko aukera paregabea eskaini digute, eta hori guztia bihotzez eskertzekoa da. Esperientzia ahaztezina izan da alde guztietatik; bisitatutako leku zoragarriengatik, egindako jarduera bereziengatik, eta nola ez, bertan ezagututako pertsona guztiengatik. Bereziki eskerrak eman nahi dizkiegu gurekin egunero egon diren gidei, Hassan, Said, Rashin, .. Haien adeitasunak, profesionaltasunak eta gertutasunak bidaia hau are bereziagoa bihurtu dute, eta haiei esker Maroko beste begi batzuekin ezagutzeko aukera izan dugu. Zalantzarik gabe, Marokora bidaiatu nahi duen edonori MorokoTour bihotzez gomendatuko genioke. Mila esker bizipen paregabe hau posible egiteagatik! 💜🧡💙🩷🤎💚💛🩵❤️

Somos un grupo de 13 personas y vinimos a hacer un viaje a Marruecos. Decidimos quedarnos en este excelente establecimiento, mas concretamente localizado en el desierto Merzouga, Instalaciones limpias de muy buena calidad y servicios de cocina tradicional marroquí con productos kilómetro cero. Te facilitan todo tipo de acceso actividades: paseo en camello y quads, y demás. Todo ello junto el mejor staff, siempre con una sonrisa y el mejor de los tratos. Muy muy recomendado

Our stay at the Sahara desert camp was an unforgettable adventure. We rode quad bikes across the dunes at sunset, racing over the golden sand as the sky turned orange and pink. At sunrise, we switched to a slower pace and explored the desert on camels, enjoying the peaceful early-morning silence. In the evening, everyone gathered around the campfire, drumming, singing, and sharing stories under an incredible star-filled sky. The atmosphere was warm, authentic, and full of energy. The camp itself was comfortable, the staff were welcoming, and the whole experience felt both exciting and relaxing. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique desert adventure.

Oso esperientzia zoragarria izan da. Berezia eta pertsona ezberdiñekin elkartzeko aukera ezin hobea. Eta parterik hoberena Saidekin partekatzea izan da, bere kultura eta bizipen guztiak partekatu dituelako gurekin. Ikaragarria izan da.

Vaig passar 8 dies en viatge organitzat amb ells. Vam començar l'aventura a Marrakech fins al desert de Merzouga. El nostre guia Said va ser genial, ens va tenir entretenguts tot el viatge amb jocs i balls improvitzats. En el desert ens vam allotjar al Dune Merzouga Camp, un lloc simplement fantàstic on ens van tractar de luxe i vam menjar molt bé. En el desert vam fer tot tipus d'excursions, vam anar de ruta en 4x4, amb quads pel desert i també vam passar un vespre a les dunes baix les estrelles. També es poden fer excursions en dromedaris. Recoman moltíssim aquesta empresa, cuiden tots els detalls.
