The Whitmore Family

Family Traveller

We booked the Shared 3 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech to Merzouga as a family wanting to truly discover Morocco together — and it was one of the best travel decisions we’ve ever made.

What impressed us most was how incredibly well chosen the stops were. Every location felt meaningful and perfectly timed — from crossing the breathtaking High Atlas Mountains via the scenic Tizi n’Tichka Pass, to exploring the historic Ait Ben Haddou, and walking through the dramatic Todra Gorge. Nothing felt rushed, and the pacing was just right for a family with children.

The van was extremely comfortable and spacious, which made the longer drives relaxing instead of tiring. Clean seats, air conditioning, and a smooth ride made a huge difference for us as parents traveling with kids. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish — clear communication, punctual departures, and seamless transitions between activities.

The highlight, of course, was arriving at the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi and experiencing the camel trek at sunset. Seeing Morocco through our children’s eyes in that moment was unforgettable.

If you are a family wanting to visit Morocco and experience the Sahara in a safe, organized, and memorable way, this trip is absolutely worth it. It truly deserved every single penny. Morocco Global Travel made our adventure effortless and extraordinary.

As a family of four, we wanted something adventurous but safe and well organized — and this shared desert tour delivered exactly that. The itinerary was perfectly balanced between driving, sightseeing, and relaxing moments.

The visit to Ait Ben Haddou was fascinating, and the walk through Todra Gorge was beautiful. But the real highlight was spending the night in the Sahara. Watching the sunset over Erg Chebbi and listening to traditional music under the stars was magical.

It was a truly great experience and honestly deserved every single penny. Thank you Morocco Global Travel for making our family trip so special and memorable.

We joined the shared 3-day desert tour as a family of five, and it turned out to be the best decision of our Morocco trip. Even though it was a shared tour, we felt comfortable and well taken care of at all times.

Our children loved Todra Gorge and the desert camp experience. The camel trek at sunset in Erg Chebbi was simply unforgettable. The camp was safe, clean, and beautifully set up among the dunes.

For the price and the quality of service, it absolutely deserved every single penny. We would recommend Morocco Global Travel to any family looking for a real Sahara adventure.

Traveling as a family of seven can be complicated, but this shared desert tour exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we left Marrakech, everything was perfectly organized. The drive through the High Atlas Mountains and the visit to Ait Ben Haddou were fascinating for both adults and kids.

The highlight was definitely the camel ride in Erg Chebbi — watching our children laugh while riding camels at sunset was priceless. The desert camp was comfortable, clean, and surprisingly luxurious. The food was delicious, and the evening music around the campfire made it magical.

It was truly a great experience and honestly deserved every single penny. Morocco Global Travel made everything smooth and stress-free.
