Travel 2d Zagora Lahsen - We left together for this incredible experience. Starting with the air-conditioned van transport by LAHSSEN who was adorable and very kind to us. We spent the majority of the journey with him, he shared his knowledge and culture. The journey seemed shorter thanks to his good mood!

It fits - Good and nice driver. He drove well on the long drive. The luxury tent that lives up to expectations and is clean. It would have been nice that the shampoo and body wash were really there and not just empty containers...but patience. Watch out for those who have long hair in winter and want to dry it because there is no phone or electrical outlets inside the tent. The night is very cold, there is no heating inside the tent but the blankets are heavy and yet we were fine. Only negative notes the food in general, both at the camp and in super tourist restaurants where they take you... low level and with little choice.
