Tour Plan:

Merzouga 4×4 Desert Excursion

Our Merzouga 4×4 desert excursion will begin with a pick-up from your lodging, and we’ll first stop at Hassi Labied Oasis, a garden next to the dunes that are run by the locals of the town. There, you can watch how the residents transport the water from the dunes to the garden using a traditional irrigation system.

Then we go on to Merzouga Lake, a seasonal lake that attracts many migratory birds when it is filled with water. When the lake is dry, we can skip going there.

We will keep going till we reach the village of Khamlia, but on the way, we’ll stop to see an automobile museum there as well. We will get the chance to listen to and appreciate the Gnawa music played by locals once we reach Khamlia Hamlet. These musicians are from Sudan, Mali, and other Sub-Saharan nations.

We will stop at the Black Desert Stone (volcanic stones), a peak with a panoramic view that will be our first stop in the black desert. Before continuing to the Mifis Settlement, a historic village constructed by the French during colonization, Due to the mineral mines, which still employ some Moroccans, it is also known as the “mines village.”

After that, we will visit a nomadic family in the desert who still resides in a tent, where we’ll enjoy a cup of tea and learn about their way of life.

You will be dropped off at your lodging after lunch and returned to Merzouga village or one of the nearby villages by a vehicle on the dunes

Excellent experience in Morocco During the last months, I’ve been visiting Morocco quite often with groups. The experience, organisation, structures, activities as well as the support provided before, during and after the trip let us have an amazing experience. Drivers are always so skilled, professional and kind: worth-mentioning is especially Mustafa, with whom I travelled twice. Hope to see you soon again!

SIN DUDA UN VIAJE INOLVIDABLE Gracias a Hassan hemos podido ver todo lo que teníamos pendiente por ver. Nos ha organizado el viaje totalmente y nos ha explicado todos y cada uno de los paisajes y monumentos que íbamos recorriendo. En nuestro caso que somos españoles hemos podido comunicarnos perfectamente en español con él. Es una gran persona y estamos seguro de que cuando volvamos a Marruecos repetiremos con él. Ha hecho unas vacaciones inolvidables

Great experience! After a lot of research, we contacted Hassan for a 5-day desert trip with Best Morocco Travel and he was on time to respond to all our requests. From Marrakesh to the Sahara desert, the experience was impeccable. The well-planned itinerary, comfortable accommodation, and transportation provided by his agency deserves 5 stars. Our guide Hassan’s experience, knowledge and friendly behavior made it a perfect and unforgettable trip. I highly recommend traveling to Morocco for an amazing trip with Best Morocco Travel company.

Marokko 🇲🇦 2023 We booked a trip to Morocco for 10 days with Best Morocco Travels agency it was really unforgettable and Hassan was always responding on time and providing nice services. Mustafa our driver was exceptional. He expertly guided us through Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Marrakech, the Sahara, and Berber villages and invited us to lunch with his family it was the best trip we have ever been on in our life. The itinerary was well organized, and the accommodation and local cuisine were top-notch. Moustapha local insights enriched our experience. Best Morocco Travel agency and Moustapha exceeded my expectations, making this trip a highlight of our trip. If you are planning to visit Morocco, we highly recommend their services, Thank you for the great experiences we will come back again. Susan and friends

Inesquecível!! Éramos seis amigas na nossa inesquecível viagem ao Marrocos, e nosso guia/motorista Hassan foi muito atencioso e prestativo, sempre pontual e pronto para atender às nossas solicitações. Excelente motorista, nos sentimos seguras durante toda a viagem. Van confortável e com wi-fi. Recomendo muito os seus serviços. O ponto alto da viagem foi nossa ida ao deserto e pernoite no acampamento. Experiência única e imperdível!

An Outstanding Cultural Tour I just completed a multiday tour with Hassan from Best Morocco Travel as my guide. Safely driving his comfortable vehicle while playing wonderful Moroccan music on his sound system, Hassan took me to many memorable destinations. He knows his country. He’s a bright young man with plenty of energy. His English language skills are impressive. If you’re fortunate to have Hassan as your guide, he will take great care of you. Hassan is THE guide to have when visiting Morocco. I recommend him without hesitation.
