The car was comfortable and the driver was in time for the appointment. I would suggest a better planning of timings and stops. We had agreed a 3-4 hours stop in Chefchaouen, once there (11:30) the driver told us to meet after 45 minutes, adding that there was a long way to reach Fes. We said we wanted to stay longer, since we had also booked a restaurant. We met at 14, after 2,5 hours. I had asked to have a brief stop in Ouazzane to see the green medina. When we arrived, he told us that he had no idea where the green medina was, he had to ask advice to locals. He then proposed to have 1 hour there so that he could have lunch, otherwise we would stop along the way later. Considering it was already 4 and the objective was only to have a brief stop, we proposed to meet in 15 mins. He then stopped along the way to have lunch and we waited for him for half an hour. I would have expected him to have lunch when we were in Chefchoauen, rather than rushing us into that visit and then making us wait for his lunch after 4. As said, all ok but I thought this behavior was not ideal.

As soon as we arrived at Casablanca Airport, we received a text message from the driver and were properly picked up. We had a good moment until Meknes. However, we noticed that the driver was using a cell phone while driving. Is that lawful in Morocco?

I couldn't recommend this desert trip enough. The travel was comfortable (it's a really long journey but this is as comfortable a way to make it as is possible, the accommodations were super comfortable, the people were incredibly friendly, kind and helpful, and the journey is one of the most beautiful you'll make in your life. A couple of points that could be improved: - The tour guide could have added a little more context on the long drives between destinations - a little bit of history of the country and the area would really help to make the trip more interesting. - The bus dropped us 25 minutes walk away from where we were told it would at the end of the trip, which led to some stress in Marrakech getting to our accommodation. However, I genuinely couldn't recommend this incredibly well organised trip enough - beautiful, well organised, and a very reasonable price for the quality of the trip.

Honest feedback about our trip in the middle of November 2023: 1. Our driver was Abdul Washington - best of the best really. High responsibility for the safety of passengers and he has amazing sense of humour. 2. I think 3 days 2 nights trip is better because the road from Merzouga to Marrakech is too long and you will be damn tired 3. The second day trip plan was a waste of time, it’s better to exclude old town with the 1 hour excursion to their market because it’s too old and there is nothing special 4. Ouarzazate and Atlas studio are amazing sights, definitely worth visit 5. The food on the road is not good, because of the small choice (only Moroccan cuisine and then you became tired of same food for three days) 6. It’s better to start one hour earlier from Fes because it would be better to come to the sunset earlier - this part is definitely one of the best parts of the trip for everyone 7. Sahara is nice and the camping is also good but guys I would be honest that it’s not cold at night - it’s FREAKING cold and better to take ski suit (I’m not joking - we couldn’t sleep because of that cold) 8. Sunrise in Sahara is beautiful but again very cold 9. Absolutely everywhere people will ask for tips (I mean just people around - not 3t travel) I hope my feedback helps :)
