« We traveled with Abdul Ali from Marrakesh to Merzouga and back. It was a really pleasant trip. He was always on time and took care of all guests and their desires making a break, etc. We hope for a driver like him on our next trips as well. Our time in Merzouga was an amazing experience. We would recommend everyone who travels to marroco to do this trip to Sahara. It is an one time experience! For a VIP trip we paid 90€ each and it was worth every euro. »

« Consiglio tanto ITINERANCE PLUS che è riuscita ad accoglierci e farci sentire a nostro agio nel organizzare i nostri tour con loro, a differenza di molte agenzie che abbiamo sentito prima di loro, (quest’ultime molto vaghe e oppressive) . Hanno una vasta proposta di esperienze e servizi di trasposto. Siamo stati ad Essaouira e Ourika in giornata, servizio di solo trasporto andata e ritorno, ma comunque puntuale come da accordo, svariati Caffe/toilette STOP o PHOTO STOP ( aprezzatissimi) , nella tratta di ourika ci siamo fermati pure a visitare e scoprire una casa berbera e gustarci un bicchiere di te offerto! Poi ci hanno organizzato un viaggio di tre giorni verso il deserto di MerZouga Un tour meraviglioso che consiglio tantissimo Mi soffermo sui servizi offerti dall’agenzia: Trasporto, prima notte in albergo con cena e colazione e seconda notte in tenda con cena SOETTACOLO davanti al fuoco e colazione giorno dopo, e GIRO IN CAMELLO . da non trascurare la disponibilità dell’autista durante i tragitti sopratutto con i photostop Esperienza molto molto bella! E tutto come da accordato . Menziono HASNA che è stata la nostra organizzatrice e IL NOSTRO PUNTO DI RIFERIMENTO che con i suoi modi e SOPRATTUTTO la sua DIPONIBILITA CI ha fatto sentire come a casa.

Agafay Desert Camel Ride: the Authentic Nomad Experience At Sunset
Dive into the soul of Morocco with our camel ride in the Agafay Desert. Less than an hour from Marrakech, forget the city's turmoil and let yourself be carried by the peaceful rhythm of ancient caravans. This experience begins with a visual immersion: you will don traditional nomad attire—the gandoura and the cheche—for authentic sun protection and the look of a true desert traveler. Mounted on your camel, you will traverse the rocky ridges and valleys of Agafay, a lunar landscape of wild beauty.

Really magical experience! Abdoul our driver was the best and really kind. One suggestion for the 2nd day, the other visits before the desert should be shorter as we would have preferred to reach Merzouga earlier to enjoy more. Thanks Kushan

Excellente agence avec des employés au top (Abdellatif, Hasna, les différents chauffeurs que nous avons pu avoir). Malgré que notre logement était en dehors de la médina, un chauffeur venait nous chercher et nous y ramenait directement. Les navettes étaient confortables, les chauffeurs s'arrêtaient à certains spots pour que nous puissions prendre des photos en chemin (chèvres dans les arganiers sur la route d'Essaouira + arrêt dans une coopérative de fabrication d'huile d'argan, différents arrêts dans l'Atlas sur la route de Zagora + visite d'Aït ben Haddou vraiment magnifique, etc..). Si nous retournons à Marrakech nous retournons dans cette agence pour le trip à Merzouga. Scherif, Christelle et le petit prince Raheem ;)

The trip is very fun. The food is on the touristy side and in winter it is very cold, so be prepared. The country is very scenic, so it is good taking lots of picture. If you have spare money, paying extra for the atv/quad at merzouga to watch sunrise is a very enjoyable experience (you dont have full freedom to roam around). Our tour guide Omar is very lively and exciting, it is alwyas a fun time interacting with other tourist in the bus

Many thanks for Ms Hassnaa. We bought a 3 day trip from Marrakech to Merzouga. She explained us the trip in details. We were informed about the costs and the program. And it was all true. During the trip we contacted her (WhatsApp) due to some misunderstanding with a guide and language problem with a driver. She responded very quickly and helped us. My review for the company is 10/10.
