A lot of travelers book these tours fast because of the attractive low costs provided without thinking first how their Sahara desert experience will be then they regret after that!

Here are some problems that you may face when you go on a larger shared group tour from Marrakech to the Desert or with companies that have no feedbacks, not recommended in Tripadvisor and other famous websites :

1 – You’ll be picked from somewhere in the main square not from your hotel and you need to find the location by yourself which may be complicated.

2 – You’ll be traveling in a mini-bus without A/C ( imagine yourself traveling to the desert during Summer months with high temperatures that can get up to 45 – 50 °c )

3 – You’ll be accompanied by a driver who speaks only Moroccan Arabic and not your language

4 – Less & short stops at the interesting sites that deserve to visit

  5 – Longer stops & many at business shops to buy things

6 – Overnight stay at bad hotel & desert camp with low services

7 – Sexual harassment by Driver, other guides on road or at the desert camp

8 – You’ll be dropped off at the original starting location at night which may be far from your hotel that you need to find by yourself again.
