What people are saying about Ait Benhaddou

Perfect trip if you are willing to explore Maroko deeper into country to see mountains and some interesting locations. Be prepared you spend almost all 2 days in car, travelling across country. Several stops are for taking pictures and buying presents. One stop is made in village to have 40 minutes walking up to "castle" where you have lunch. Then you continue to camp site, which you reach by one hour camel ride by sunset. Camp alone is very nice place with good dinner after which you can dance by fire. Get up early in the morning to climb to nearby mountain to see sunrise and get perfect pictures. Small sand dunes led you back to camp for breakfast and half hour camel ride back to car. Another 7 hour trip back awaits you, roads are curvy and bumpy. We visited film studios on way back which where Gladiator movie was filmed. My special thanks goes to very patient, nice and very skilled driver Mohamed who was always very kind, helpful and willing to fulfill our wishes. Thanks a lot

We had a wonderful experience that exceeded our expectations. The 3-day Dessert tour from Marrakech to Fez allows you see a lot of Morocco within a short period of time (for a decent price) and without the hassle of arranging everything yourself. The only thing you have to do is sit back and relax! Our tour guide was Omar and driver was Ibrahim which were both very friendly and helped think along. Tip: Bring warm clothes to the dessert!

I really enjoyed the experience. Hussein was our main guide who managed the trip. Very caring and enthusiastic. For a trip in Morocco, it’s definitely a great one if you plan to visit Fez from Marrakech. The trip is quite long with plenty of stops. Though the last day of driving felt a bit long between meals, it ultimately was a really cool tour! If possible I’d opt for a camel ride and a quad ride to experience both!

It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. Mohamed made e sure we were happy, safe and enjoy our tour to be the maximum. I very very much recommend this guide as the best I ever had 8n the many tours around the world we have taken. Morocco is a incredible county for it's diversity, beauty and friendly people. We loved our trip there and inshallah we'll be back soon.

We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our time days safari from Marrakech to Fes. Our drive Mohammad was fantastic. Very thoughtful, fun and entertaining. The camel ride was a highlight as was the over night camp. Well worth it and good value for money.
