Once in a Lifetime Family Experience - Where to begin? A once in a lifetime experience. Mohammed was not only an exceptional driver ( it’s a long haul over two days) but a fantastic guide. The journey is broken up with various stops ranging from the female cooperative which makes Argen oil to the potteries making Tagines, Kasbahs etc. The Atlas Mountains and beyond provide incredible scenery. I had to get out of my comfort zone but that just added to the experience. The camel ride and night in the desert will forever remain one of the best travel experiences ever. Sunrise in the desert! Thank you so much.

2 days of the real Morocco - Amazing 2day adventure with Yousif our guide - it is a long drive but we’ll worth the time and money: The Atlas Mountains, Draa valley, Ounila valley and the Sahara are all stunning. The real Morocco we are told! Riding camels in the Sahara was a very special moment- even if we had no idea what we were doing! All the people we met were very friendly, looked after us brilliantly, had lots of ideas of what to see and made you feel very at home. Having a smattering of French at the Berber camp will help but not essential. Would highly recommend Yousif as a guide and this trip- Morocco is awe inspiring.

Must do trip! - Amazing trip to the Sahara for two of us. We did the private tour and it was a very comfortable car with an amazing driver (Yousef!) who was polite, professional, and knew the roads extremely well. The drive is long but it never felt that way and we had some pretty cool stops. The campsite was done quite well and was comfy and clean with full plumbing and lots of private tents that were warm at night. Camel ride was awesome, food was good and you MUST watch the sky at night and the billions of stars out there!

Wonderful trip! - Such a great experience seeing the grand Sahara desert! The journey is long but if you have as great a driver/person as Yousef you are in great hands! He was friendly and an excellent driver, along the way there and back you visit some nice viewpoints and local shops for lunch/shopping. The desert itself was beautiful, the camel ride was a great amount of time, and at night some tasty local food, campfire, and watch the stars take over the sky! Recommend to BYOB if you wish just be respectful. Great time!!

Must see - Atlas Mountains are extraordinary and Sahara desert is a must see. The two day trip is condensed with lots of driving so be prepared for that but the scenery and sights are amazing. Bokari was a very competent and safe driver, and the car was spacious and clean. Even when it uncharacteristically bucketed with rain on the way back Bokari drove with great safety and care. He also stopped at terrific sights for us to see: multiple look-outs across ancient towns, a famous movie studio in the Atlas Mountains, Ait Benhaddou, and Tamegrout/Zawiya Nasiriyya. The tour of the latter was amazing but be prepared for being shown a ceramic shop at the end of the tour and some tough haggling if you choose to buy there. The camels were waiting for us at the campsite and the length of ride was perfect (about 1 hour at sunset). The food at the desert camp was good and though the tents were hot at night they were clean and comfortable and quite spacious - they also had a shower which was very welcome. It was cloudy while we were in the Sahara unfortunately so we did not see the sunrise/sunset/stars - it's worth checking the weather forecast when you book, but it was awe inspiring nonetheless.

Perfect in all regards - Incredible tour. Exceeded our expectations. Drive was long but Abdul was an excellent guide and made the drive seem shorter than it was. We would recommend that tour from this provider to anyone. The desert camp was awesome, food was great and entertainment was fun. Don’t oversleep - climb the dunes to catch the sunrise. Bucket list item checked off!
