Excellent - Abdelkhalk was very friendly, took care of everything we needed. We had internet on the bus, there were frequent stops to go to the toilet or buy water or coffee. The guides were nice. I think everything was great. Thank you so much for everything.

Grey value for friends wanting to experience a large part of Morocco - Travelling through Southern Spain with a friend and decided this Desert trip was the perfect excursion for us. Pros: Great driver and staff. Abis was the best driver and guide, he helped us at every stop and felt very safe and comfortable all around. Value. Crazy for the price you get so much food and two nights lodging. Both the hotel and camp were comfortable and enjoyable. Sites. Plenty of sites and breaks the first two days. The desert. The highlight of the trip is definitely making it onto the dunes for sunset and waking up for sunrise. Cons: Lots of time in the van but it goes quickly if you have great companions and is comfortable.

Unforgettable Merzouga Tour - Abdelkhalek was a fantastic tour guide, he was very patient and friendly. We appreciated the time he took to explain to us what was happening and when, he had a lot of interesting information about the places we were driving through as well that we are grateful he shared with us. I paid around $160AUD for this tour, did not upgrade to luxury so we came in expecting very basic services but given the price, this was incredible value for money. The sights you see are unbelievable, the tour guides are very helpful and kind and the ease of travel was a huge bonus. If I could recommend anything it would be to bring a hat and sunscreen as there are a few walks and outdoor activities that can take several hours and it is very hot so a hat and sunscreen is necessary. Bring your own purchased bottles of water too or cash as places do not have tap water for drinking but water is available for purchase. We all felt very safe and at ease with Abdelkhalek as our guide, he was even happy to stop several times to take photos and group photos too which was really nice ! I do not think you will find a better tour with this kind of value for money, we had an unforgettable time and we really appreciate Abdelkhalek and our tour guides for our daily activities !

Trip to the dessert - We had amazing time in our trip to the desert! This trip is very well organised, you will pass from a lot of villages and you’ll have the opportunity to see their way of living! All the guides are so polite and helpful, especially Mohamed Ziouani who was our driver too! You must try the camel ant the sunset and the atv at the sunrise, it is life experience! The tents at the desert have enough space and the are so cute! The only con was the hotel at first night which was not so clean and the food was not good at all! I definitely recommend to choose this team for your trip!
