Unforgettable moments - This is a great tour for those who want to experience Morocco without the hassle- including the mountains of Atlas and the dunes of sahara desert with the hospitality of the berber people. Long drives are broken-up with key rest stops where drinks and snacks were available and the toilets are clean.Similarly lunch stops are well-organized and prices are set. The total price of this tour is remarkably low for all that it includes - good hotel rooms, the Tentes for the 2nd night. My favorite part of the tour was definitely the camel ride and san boarding in the sahara desert along with staying in the campsite which was beautiful! if you"re thinking about booking, DO IT, really top top top!

The main thing we were waiting for was exploring the desert and enjoying the camel ride as the sunset and sunrise. Our guide mohamad and our driver Ibrahim were great we really enjoyed We were able to get a real idea of Moroccan life and culture. Mohamad answered our endless questions and was patient with our entire family, our driver Ibrahim, always made sure of our safety and comfort, both exceeded our expectations. Great experience I recommended this trip

3 Days 2 nights( Sahara) The best trip - The best trip you could ever imagine! We had so much fun! We visited many historical and touristic areas such as the Kasbah of Ait Ben hado and the gorges of dades and toudaghi, the views were breathtaking. The road was long, but we had a lot of stops and a lot of attractions! The most attractive stop is the desert (golden sands), enjoying camel rides, sunrise and sunset, and spending the night in tents. Our guide Ibrahim was amazing and very helpful! I recommend it to everyone, worth every cent
