best overnight ever! - such a great experience! our driver was very caring and took great care of my group and i. he made sure we got food, stopped enough times throughout the long drive over, and helped us bargain for the coolest souvenirs. he made it very comfortable, and he was the best!! then we got to the spot where the camels were, the people working took our luggage to the camp so we wouldn’t have to worry about it. then we got the most amazing camel sunset ride. we were riding for about an hour and got to stop and the guide took quite literally the best pictures. he knew what he was doing! then we got to the camp where we had a really big tent, it was gorgeous. we had dinner-got lots of delicious food! afterwards was the bonfire and drum lesson then concluded with stargazing on the top of a dune for a couple hours. i recommend this tour wholeheartedly! it was more than perfect and my group and i had the best time. our driver, and everyone at the camp was beyond helpful and fun to interact with. it was an experience i will genuinely cherish forever!

great experience - Great way to see Morocco outside of the bigger cities. We loved that the tour stops along the way to visit various sights. Riding camels into the desert to camp is lots of fun. Need to bring extra cash for lunches and tips which can add up but overall a great experience. Lots of driving but plenty of stops along the way break things up.

The desert experience was a very rewarding experience - The desert experience was a very rewarding experience. Watching the sunset or sunrise while sandboarding or riding a camel is an amazing experience. Our guide, Ali, speaks many languages, and our driver, Hakim, is very kind and well-planned, so we were able to participate in the tour with peace of mind. I stayed in a normal tent, and although the toilet and bath were shared, the tent was private and had electricity and outlets, so I was able to get a good rest. the starry sky is very beautiful.

I was very satisfied - I was very satisfied with being able to experience both the sunset desert and the sunrise desert. I was able to fully enjoy nature. Also, on the way to the desert, we were able to stop at various sightseeing spots and have a variety of experiences that can only be had on a guided tour. Also, although we had an early departure in the morning, our guide, Abderrahman Abbassi, came to pick us up at the hotel, which was very helpful. I think this is a tour where you can fully enjoy the various natures of Morocco. Since it was a tour in the middle of winter, it was quite cold in the tent stay, so if you are participating in the middle of winter, please bring enough cold weather gear.

Unmissable experience !!! - Unmissable experience !!! In the morning a boy from the Riad that I had indicated in the reservation came to pick us up very punctually and then embark on the journey to the desert. Badr, the guy who drove our van was kind and available for all our needs. The stops in Ifrane and in the monkey forest were very short, just the time to take some pictures and stretch your legs but quite normal given that the course is very long and you have to arrive in time for bed sun in the desert. The van is new, comfortable and spacious. Once we arrived in Merzouga, we arrived at a parking lot where a gentleman picked us up with a van and took us to the camels for the sunset ride,then they placed us in our beautiful room with private bathroom, towels and soap included. The very typical dinner was delicious and then we went to Berber music around the fire and under an unforgettable star sky. In the morning, fantastic breakfast and sunrise. HIGH!!

We enjoyed our trip to the Sahara - We enjoyed our trip to the Sahara. Transportation to get there went well and the scenery was very beautiful.Our guide Yassine was helpful and explained the details of the history and other facts during the trip. The stops were short but overall ok. The camel ride and the evening were amazing and it is worth going out at night to see the stars. The return was a little more rushed and was not as pleasant, but overall, the Sahara and the journey that leads to it have been really nice and I think it is a must if you visit Morocco.

everything is excellent. - Wonderful experience, lived with my boyfriend and a few friends. everything was well organized, the length of the journey was worth it for the experience and emotions experienced in the desert. our driver Abdoul very kind. I still leave 5 stars but if I have to give a little advice, leave much earlier in the morning to be able to enjoy the sunset a little more during the autumn/winter season. for the rest everything is excellent.

Outstanding Private Excursion - The entire journey felt tailored to our preferences. Our guide, Ahmed, not only showed immense knowledge of the locales but also took the time to understand our interests, ensuring every stop and activity resonated with our group Our private vehicle was not only comfortable but also spotlessly clean. allowing us to relax and enjoy the scenic route without any worries. The entire excursion was well-coordinated. From prompt pickups to timely transitions between attractions, the seamless organization allowed us to make the most of our limited time in each location.
