Wonderful 5 days tour!!
Fantastic experience. We were greeted by Mohssin early in the morning and immediately left for our tour. He was very kind and stayed with us for 5 days. The Riads we slept in were all beautiful, perfect. Perhaps the most beautiful was the Riad alla Valle del Dades, with breathtaking views, a beautiful room and great food. In Fez we were greeted by Mohamed who took us around making us discover every corner of the city (he spoke perfect Italian and was really nice and kind). The tour was very tiring due to the large number of trips made, but Mohssin was really good and they managed to make us live a magical experience.

Unforgettable Morocco trip with personalized service
We recently did a five-day Morocco tour and are still absolutely thrilled! My girlfriend and I travelled alone and were very lucky to have both our own driver and a local guide – a combination that made this trip really special. From day one we felt completely comfortable and well looked after. Our driver was reliable, friendly and attentive. The separate guide in Fez was also a real highlight: With a lot of knowledge, passion and humour, he introduced us to the culture, history and hidden treasures of the cities. Without him, we probably wouldn't have discovered many details and special places. The whole organization was excellent – everything went smoothly so we could just sit back and enjoy the journey. It was especially nice that the tour seemed individually tailored to us and we never felt like we were just being “switched through”. This trip was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation and cultural experiences for us. We would book this tour again at any time and can recommend it without restriction! Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

Five Star Tour with Hicham
Hicham is very professional and always quick to respond. Had a very enjoyable trip with him. He is most professional and meticulous in planning the entire trip from Casablanca to Sahara Desert to Marrakech. His driving was also awesome as we had to navigate some snowy roads. Highly recommended!!!

Morocco 8 days, 7 nights tour
The charter trip experience was very satisfying. The driver arrived on time, the service was warm and attentive, the driving was steady and reassuring. The itinerary is flexible, meticulously explained along the way, and thoughtful food and attractions are recommended. The vehicle is clean and comfortable, the price is transparent and there is no invisible consumption. Overall easy and hassle-free, cost-effective, worth recommending, next trip will choose, very good, trustworthy.

I wish I could give 10 Stars! 10 days of pure happiness! Thank you Hicham for being an amazing guide! Highly recommend!
If you are looking for the perfect small group tour in Morocco then I highly recommend Hicham with Morocco Happiness Tours. We are a group of 5 world traveled ladies from the USA and all of us work in the Airline industry. From the minute we arrived in Marrakech, Hicham was there to greet us with a big smile! In our emails with Hicham we asked for flexibility, some really cool Riads for our overnights, we wanted to see the cities, the desert and camping, the mountains, waterfalls, and the beach ! A lot to ask in 10 days but Hicham went above and beyond and created the most amazing itinerary and we saw it all and more! Hicham picked us up in a brand new big SUV that fit all of us and our luggage comfortably! That was important because we were covering a lot of ground on this trip! Every day seemed to be better then the next and every day we learned something new about Morocco, the people, the customs, the food etc. Marrakech we wandered through the medina, visited the Bahia Palace, did a Hammam bath! In 9 nights 10 days Hicham made sure we saw not only the top sights everywhere we went but also things off the beaten path that we never knew existed! From The Atlas Film Studio in Ouarzazate, The High Atlas Mountains, Dades Valley, Merzouga Sahara desert camping, camels and ATV riding, Fes, Chefchaouen, Little Switzerland (Ifrane) and Tangier , Hicham didn’t miss a beat! Every accommodation was top notch! Hicham is so knowledgeable, personable, punctual, helpful, friendly,trustworthy,funny, and most of all patient!! I feel like I made a friend for life. To summarize: Wife in the car Felt 100 % safe and taken care of. Favorite day was the 14K step hike in the mountains to the waterfalls and lunch under the waterfall! Best Tanjine ever! The long rides in the car seemed short with all the great music he played ! We sang we laughed we stopped anytime we wanted for pictures and toilet breaks and coffee and even to buy some wine for our Riads at night. We are definitely going back to see more of his beautiful country! Trust me Hicham and Morocco Happiness Tours is Excellent and we won’t use anybody else! Trust him he knows how to plan an Amazing Adventure!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech via Merzouga and Fes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does 5-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech via Merzouga and Fes cost?
+
Prices start at $263 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech via Merzouga and Fes take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marrakech is not rushed.
Is 5-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech via Merzouga and Fes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech via Merzouga and Fes?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech via Merzouga and Fes suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 120-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech via Merzouga and Fes?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marrakech can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Private Desert Tour from Marrakech via Merzouga and Fes start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marrakech within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marrakech?
+
On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, From Marrakech To Essaouira Mogador Full Day Trip | Small-group, Agafay Desert Package, Quad Bike, Camel Ride and Dinner Show. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marrakech?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marrakech?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
