What people are saying about Tinghir

What an experience! The whole thing was seamless. Such an amazing way to get from one city to the next! It was so nice to meet some fellow travelers from around the world and share stories and have some good laughs. The language barrier and very different culture in Morocco can be intimidating so this was a wonderful way to see and learn about the history while feeling safe and taken care of. The desert glamping and camel ride was so much fun and so wonderful to experience the more peaceful and quiet side of life in the Sahara. There were plenty of stops along the way to sight see, eat, shop and use the bathroom. All accommodation was taken care of both nights with delicious breakfasts and dinners. Our driver, Hamza, was fantastic and handled all communication with the riad for our drop off in Marrakech. It was absolutely a highlight of our trip and I highly recommend booking this tour!

This 3 day trip was absolutely amazing! Our driver, Hamza, was very professional, polite, and kind. Be aware that your 3 days are mostly spent riding in a van! We were in a 9 person van and there were 9 of us. The first day was a full 8 hours of riding in the van but we made multiple stops along the way for taking photos of awesome views or just for bathroom breaks and snacks. The second and third days are 5-6 hours of driving plus multiple stops. You will see great things along the way. The Berber tent camp was great. The food and accommodations were lovely and all the men were kind. Yes, there are indoor toilets and showers inside the tents. The camel ride was spectacular! This is a great value for the cost, you get breakfast and dinner include, the camp included, the hotel the 1nd night was good and included as well. I definitely recommend!

Well organized and for a very reasonable price, highly recommend! It was 12 of us and we were driving in a spacious van, the guide was really friendly, be prepared that you will spend a lot of time in the car but its surely worth it, we stopped several times to enjoy the views, take nice pics, for food etc. Sahara was definitely the highlight of the tour but if you are travelling during the cold months, it can get pretty cold there. The tent though was really luxurious with a private toilet, shower and many blankets.

I had a great time during 3 days and 2 nights desert trip with good friends. We are from Korea, Netherlands, Italia, Spain and Argentina. We became family, not friends. We respected each other and had a great trip together. And our guide and driver, Mustafa is a great person. Owing to his kindness and best driving, we were able to enjoy our trip without any problems. I really appreciate his kindness and driving.

Long drive but worth it. Mustapha was a great driver!
