!!! - The best experience I ever had. At first the villages before the arrival in the desert were very quiet and beautiful very different from our culture and the view was amazing. The sunset and the sunrise in the desert was unique and an experience everyone should have. Salah the driver was the best really fun and helpful. Our guide Mohamed also really fun, helpful and friendly. To conclude we enjoyed this trip 100%.

Trip to Merzouga - The whole trip was amazing! The guides and all the people involved in the trip were really friendly. Everyone speaks English very well, even Spanish a bit. The first day of a trip had a lot of stops, but most ot them were just for taking pictures rathern than explorint. We had one stop in a village. Second day was very good, we saw a lot of beautiful views and reached a desert. Third day is just for coming back. What i did not like was that we stop at the very touristic places to eat or get snacks. The lunch was about 100-130 dir each day. The food was great although. Small shops to get snacks charged a lot, you can pay from 2-3 times more than you normally would in Morocco. We stopped only at one place to buy souvenirs. (We stopped to get scarfs for the dessert) They were super cheap (around 50 dir) but their quality is questionable. If you want to have a really nice scarf which you could wear back ar home you should try to buy one before in the Market. Other than that, everything was great. We had a wifi in the bus, beds were comfortable. We had electricity in the tent. I went in March/April it was pretty chilly at night, but it was not cold. I slept in a hoodie and felt warm. Camel trip takes about 40min to an hour and its both ways, to and out of camping spot.

Disorganized Meals - Meals provided during the tour were often uninspired and poorly executed. We had hoped to savor the flavors of Moroccan cuisine, but instead, we were served bland and repetitive dishes in unappetizing settings.

Lack of Cultural Immersion - Despite being in one of the most culturally rich regions of Morocco, the tour lacked any meaningful opportunities for cultural immersion. Instead, it felt like we were being shuttled from one tourist trap to the next.
