A great experience! - The 4 day desert trip in the Sahara desert was truly an amazing experience. It starts with a great road trip with some scenic stops and includes the Unesco site Ait Benhaddou. The second day is also impressive with a walk through an oasis and the incredible Todra gorge. Then from Merzouga, you ride a camel out to the camp, which lasts about an hour. Dinner, sandboarding and great photos of the Sahara desert await you there. The 3 day trip is great, and well worth it, but if you have the time and money, I highly recommend the 4 day. After everyone leaves the next morning, you have some downtime in camp. Very peaceful and relaxing. Around 11, you start out on an excursion that includes visits to a nomad camp, mines, music and much more. The last day, for us, was another road trip to Fes. This included a stop near Ifrane where we fed some forest monkeys. I was very impressed by them. They were gentle creatures, and a lot of fun. One thing I would have done differently. I would have gone with the luxury camp. There, you have your own bathroom, I think. And a nice, shaded bench to sit on. But all in all, we were treated wonderfully. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, and attended to all our needs. I absolutely loved the experience, and highly recommend it!

The Best Experience from Marrakesh to the Desert! 🌴🇲🇦 - I had the absolute best experience on my journey from Marrakesh to the desert. Our tour guide, Mohamed Ouzanzoul, did an outstanding job—he was with us the entire time, always open to any wishes or requests. Not only is he a knowledgeable guide full of interesting facts, but he’s also a great DJ, an entertainer and a good partner in crime for some nice talks at the bonfire, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Moha, you‘re a good one! I highly recommend staying for 4 days so you can really soak in the desert experience. With that extra day, we had the chance to spend a full day in the desert—something I will never forget. Beyond camel riding and sandboarding, one of the highlights was the second day, when we spent the whole day in a 4x4 with the locals, exploring the desert landscape. The insights and places we discovered were beyond imagination—we visited nomadic families, enjoyed a private musical performance, and ended up in a breathtaking oasis that words can hardly describe. If you truly love adventure, come to Morocco—especially Merzouga. You won’t regret it!

Great experience - We travelled 5 friends with our teenage children, a group of 15 was a Super Experience with Hamid as a guide and Brahim as a driver. We had to make changes over time and they always looked for solutions, adapted to what we wanted to do. Highly recommended!

The guide the best! - A wonderful experience. A country of contrasts and spectacular landscapes. We could enjoy a very well organized family trip thanks to our guide Mohamed Ouzanzoul with whom we enjoyed and laughed a lot. A tenner for the guide! We'll be back for sure.
