Highly recommend this desert tour and camel ride! - This desert tour was a great addition to our Marrakech trip. Omar and his team were all very helpful and friendly from the time we got in the van to the end of the night. I really appreciate the fact that Omar and the rest of this team engaged with us and made an effort to talk to us and get to know everyone in the group. The camel ride was amazing, very fun and felt very safe, and they offered to take a lot of great pictures for me and my friends. Dinner was also good with lots of options,and the show was the perfect way to end the night. Highly recommend this desert tour to anyone looking for a fun evening excursion. This was great for us because we did not have time to do a 2 or 3 day excursion trip !

Amazing experience! Worth every penny. - The tour guides were super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. This family run business provided our group of 20-30 people with very personable experience. Camels are well behaved and maintained. Views of the desert were gorgeous. And food was very delicious (they show you behind the scenes kitchen and preparation) and more than generous portions.

Relaxing experience - Many pre-arranged tours are a rushed experience, this is not one of them. The relaxed slow pace allowed us to absorb the experience, and now writing this review 2+ weeks later, I appreciate the time in the desert even more.

The best day of the holiday! - The whole day start to finish was absolutely amazing, the activities was just 10/10 and the service from Abde was just incredible. He made the whole day just even better

Such great fun - Such a lovely time and we were looked after so well. The camels were friendly (well all but one!) and our trek was enjoyable.
We tagged the quad bike experience onto our trip and had such fun. We were rather dusty (dirty) but it was worth it. The food was tasty and plentiful. We sat around the fire pit after sundown got music and dancing.
The facilities were really clean and was very happy to see they had flushing toilets and hand basins.
Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of doing this trip.
