Great experience and service - We did 2 day private tour at luxury camp. Arrangements very easy and all questions answered very quickly. Driver Reda was excellent, punctual, professional and friendly. Comfortable vehicle with plenty of stops en route. Warm welcome at camp, tent spacious and comfortable. We travelled by camel both ways, again, professional and helpful. The desert is beautiful, the silence and stars alone would make the trip worthwhile but the journey is so interesting and varied. A long way for 1 night but perfect if you’re short on time.

Great! - Our experience in the desert was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, everything was organised well. They reply promptly to emails and queries and were very happy to help with everything before, during and after the trip. Our driver was excellent, the tour of Aït Ben Haddou was great, and the desert experience was good too. I would recommend this trip really highly!

A night in the Zagora - Took this 2 day tour with a group of 10 other people. Everything was great! You could see every single star in the sky and enjoy a nice fire. The trip included transportation to and from the desert, dinner and breakfast and lots of little stops along the way. The desert does get a little chilly in the morning so make sure to pack something warm. Its also a good idea to pack wipes and maybe a snack for breakfast. One thing to be mindful about is the lunch, you'll have tour guides that take you to restaurants that seemed a bit force.

Great people, nice experience - The driver and the tour guides are incredibly helpful and kind. They'll go far and beyond to satisfy special requests/needs.The experience is nice but not excellent as the schedule is tight and food options are limited and sometimes unsatisfying. Please also note the camps is in a rocky spot with barely any dunes, it's still desert but the Sahara you imagine is much further away from Marrakech, therefore hard to reach in just two days.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE - My husband and I had an amazing time. We started in Marrakech and were driven about 6 hours to Zagora. Along the way we stopped at the UNESCO site Ait Ben Haddou. Which is a preserved Berber village. Then we stopped at Atlas studios, which helped produce anything from Jewel of the Nile to Game of Thrones. Then we drove outside of Zagora, where we rode a camel about 30 minutes to our campsite right at the edge of the Sahara. Both at Ait Ben Haddou and in the desert we had guides to help and explain things. Our driver was good and helpful but I wish he had been able to answer a few questions or gone a bit slower when using his cell. I would recommend this tour and tour company to anyone!
