The experience was great, well-planned, and memorable! - We booked this experience to spend a different evening a short distance from Marrakech; the organization was perfect, we found a warm welcome, given a fantastic sunset and danced around the fire. Typical Moroccan dinner under the tent. Recommended experience for a taste of the desert and a break from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech. Thank you Marouane and all the team!

GREAT JOB! - It has been one of the best excursions I have done in my life, very complete. Our guide Marouane was on the lookout for us at all times. He told us to let him know when we wanted to have dinner because we weren't very hungry at first. The impressive views, the delicious food, and the incredible show, the whole excursion is 10, if I return one day, this is an activity that I would repeat without a doubt.

I loved it! - This experience is worth every penny! Frankly its actually worth a lot more. We had so many incredible moments so i am going to split the review: Pickup was timely & smooth. The vans were air-conditioned & comfortable. We got a small bottle water each complementary because it was a hot day - such a sweet gesture. Our first stop was argon oil domestic ‘factory’ where women were grinding the seeds to release oil. They were warm & welcoming. We tasted argon oil butter & honey, both were delicious. Next stop was camel ride, we wore traditional outfits during which made it all feel quite unique. Again, people were extremely friendly & lovely. We then stopped at a high point to see one of the most beautiful sunsets followed by a drive into the desert for a delicious chicken tagine, & a warm bonfire to sing around. Driver dropped me at my Riad, which was incredibly kind of him. I cannot recommend this experience enough! Please do it, you will not regret!

We loved the whole experience! - We were there with our family of five (including 7yo twins) and loved camel riding, the evening camp, the dinner and music by the bonfire. Marouane was very warm and caring, and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and include our two kids in the experience. The music around the bonfire was amazing, and dinner outdoors with the sunset was too. We loved that the camp was isolated (with no other camps in sight) and was just one tent in the desert. The camels were well cared for and the camel helpers very kind with our two kids. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
