The best Marrakech desert tour in 3 days!

My first visit to the Sahara desert was on a three-day desert tour from Marrakech, and it was breathtaking. We started in Marrakech, where we were met by Said, who would accompany us during the three-day journey. He was the best driver and travel companion we'd ever had, and he taught us so much about Moroccan culture. The journey was wonderful because of him and the guides we met along the route. We met many other folks over the three-day desert journey, and I swear I will never forget them all.

Marrakech to Merzouga

We had the most fantastic experience on this 3-day desert trip from Marrakech to Erg-Chebbi. Mohamed, our driver, was amazing and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable and pleasurable. He even invited us to his family's home for tea and was always on hand to ensure that we were served as promptly as possible! He was always checking in on us, making us laugh, and being an all-around kind guy. The vacation itself was incredible. The desert is breathtaking, and every stop along the journey was informative and educational. It really beyond our expectations!
