Our experience to Merzouga dunes was unforgettable - If you are planning to visit Morocco like we were, Just contact the manager of this company and he will plan a wonderful trip for you. Our journey with them was incredible and we would like to thank them again for this wonderful experience. we started our experience with driver (guide)Ali .! Our night in Luxury tent was clean, and the food was good. Generally a nice range of activities and didn’t feel rushed. We did Camel riding in the Sahara desert to luxury camp. Ali, our guide and driver, were very professional and helpful. Tents (we booked the luxury option) were lovely - hot water, electricity, cozy enough bed and loads of space. We traveled in winter and were still just about warm enough in the morning. we enjoyed an amazing breakfast with the view of the Sahara . Everything was as we had planned, the manager, Mohamed, and I, and everything was wonderful. Book this trip, it’s worth it.

Un día inolvidable - We had a wonderful experience in the desert with guide Ali. He was a wonderful and helpful guide. We booked three days from Fes to the Sahara and back to Marrakech. We rode camels in the Merzouga desert and went to the luxury camp. Located well away from the numerous other camps in this corner of the Sahara, meaning it was very quiet and mostly free from light-pollution (allowing great stargazing). Very spacious and beautifully fitted-out tent. The hosts were absolutely amazing (Ali and his team). if you are looking for to visit Morocco as I was I recommend you to contact sir Hamid . Great service .!

Our 3- day tour were incredible.! - Our 3- day tour were incredible.! We did not expect Morocco to be like this. From my experience in Morocco, Morocco did not deserve to be in Africa. Amazing hotels and restaurants, people speak many languages, our guide, Ali, speaks four languages and told us all about Moroccan culture. We had a night in Merzouga Desert Camp, We had the place for ourselves. Hamid told us his story, he spoke about the Berber way of leaving. It was really interesting. We felt welcomed and had a great time in the desert! Actually we are happy to visit Morocco .
Thank you very much for everything.

Morroco - We booked a three-day trip to Morocco with this company. Everything was great. We went to the desert camp with an excellent guide. Amazing accommodation roght at the edge of the dunes. The room itself was extremely cosy and comfortable. However, it was the service of guys at the camp that made the entire stay an incredible experience. Definitely recommended if your planning to visit Morocco and spend a night in Sahara luxury camp around Erg Chebbi! Thank you very much 🙏
