The agency for its Expedition - I traveled with my mother and my niece. We made the expedition to Merzouga from Fes sleeping one night in the desert. The price was very reasonable compared to the service which was truly excellent. Everything went as planned. A 7-hour car trip with friendly and experienced drivers. Arriving at dessert, we arrived at the campsite by camel 😍 which was also included in the price of the service. The campsite was cute, very clean and the meals were excellent!! We had an unforgettable time and thank Mr. Abdoul who took great care to the point of picking us up from the hotel personally on the day of the trip. I recommend ++

A unique experience - The excursion to Merzouga is one of the best we have done in many years. Small group in the car with an exceptional driver. Stops to enjoy the views, visits to places that I would never visit if I were alone. The spectacular desert, especially seeing the sunrise and imagining that you are in a movie.

Enough lucky ! - My experience with this Moroccan tourism transport agency was outstanding. From the moment I contacted them to the end of my tour, they provided excellent service. The tour guide was knowledgeable and passionate about Morocco's history and made every effort to ensure that I saw all the historic monuments in the Sahara region. I would definitely recommend this agency to anyone looking for an authentic Moroccan travel experience.

Sahara! - Tarbooshtravel provided an unforgettable experience for both tours I took with them. I went to places I wouldn't have ever reached on my own when in Morocco! Heck, on the ride into the Sahara I even honed my photography from a moving car! And they really went above and beyond to make sure everyone was brought to their hotels afterwards. I wish there had been more scenic stops where actual hiking could be done, but I'm just being picky. It's a great value considering all that is provided. Shukran!

Not great - Good - Friendly nice driver, camel riding experience Bad - - Rushed at stops (monkeys) - taken to very touristy cafes for lunch that was way above anything we had previously paid for food with no option to walk elsewhere. - When arrived the four of us were split, my friend cannot be left alone and was taken in the back of a van somewhere else which caused serious distress. - We were not informed dinner do not include any drinks especially in the desert! We were charged through the roof for water when we could have packed a couple of extra bottles. - We were shouted at by the camp leader for taking a blanket onto the dunes when every other group did the same. - The tour description said the van had AC it did not. On the way back on a bus for 9 hours with no air was not enjoyable. - The description says you will be woken up to watch the sunrise. You will not be. The camp leader just shouts at you and tells you breakfast in 5 minutes. Overall I think there are better options out there especially if your in Marrakech, but would not personally recommend this tour.
