Sahara Desert Experience - The guide was very kind and it was a great experience for three days. I will never forget the scenery in the desert. It takes three days to get to Merzouga, and the panoramic views along the way and the Gladiator filming spots are impressive. It's a long drive, but it's fun just to look out the window.

One of the most fascinating experiences in my life! - If you're thinking of an experience in the desert, this is the best that you'll get. Zaid and Ali were our amazing guides (Ali speaks any language you can think of!), showing us around and helping us to understand more about the culture and the fascinating places. The night at the camp has been amazing, surrounded by so much beauty and they made it even more enjoyable with some music and fun. Definitely recommend! If I'll come again in Morocco, I'll get in touch with them again.

Great experience - Omar was a great driver and guide. Very kind and always trying to make you happy. Everything was planned very well. Don't forget to bring cash and some water to the dunes. Food is at some places sub-optimal (food being cold or dry) but would very much recommend to take the tour!

The dunes of the Merzouga desert - Pleasant trip Departure from Marrakech to Merzouga with a good driver and meetings with a great guide including Mohammed who accompanied us throughout the excursion. Magnificent desert camp accompanied by a camel ride at sunrise and sunset. Incredible unforgettable souvenir photos for our photo albums. The Berbers played drums around a great campfire. Pleasant luxury hotel and tent with every comfort accompanied by a good meal. I +++ recommend this excursion.
