Amazing Saharan desert visit! - Excellent experience from the drive to Zagora to the camel trek across to the campsite. Jamal is great fun to travel with and made sure there were lots of stops for our small children with small bladders. The campsite was equally amazing, well equipped and comfortable. Sunset from a camel and sunrise from the Saharan were beautiful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Unmissable - It’s a long drive to the Zagora but it was easy because of breathtaking mountain views and frequent stops. The bus was comfortable too. I never felt pushed to buy anything, though like every group tour we had lunch at overpriced tourist restaurants. I appreciated that we only stopped at Atlas Studios for a quick photo op. Our driver Roni was very accomodating, and the guides at each major stop were very experienced and informative. Bring lots of spare change as you are expected to tip everyone. The camels seemed healthy and not treated worse than any other camels domesticated by Berbers. The campsite exceeded all expectations (I felt like I was glamping) and the experience of sitting on top of a dune and watching a pastel sunset was just indescribable. 1000% worth it just for this alone. Met very nice people in the tour too. The tourist feeling of being in a group tour is a worthwhile exchange for an amazing experience at an affordable price.

Would recommend the desert trip :) - We loved the experience of staying at the desert camp, having a bonfire at night and an awesome sunrise at morning. We enjoyed the group dynamic and our driver Roni was very nice and organized everything very well.

Desert experience - Great experience of desert life, Abdul was excellent. Camel riding was nice and great atmosphere around the camp fire, comfortable set up for camping, with tents you can standup in and flushing toilets.

A great tour in only 2 days, Omar is the best - We could not ask for a better experience. In just two days you see and do a lot of stuff, the first night you sleep in the valley in a traditional Berber guesthouse, the second night you watch the sunset from the dunes of Sahara and then sleep in the tents. The guide Omar is a great person, not only very expert but also super helpful and kind. He made everything so easy and pleasant. Thank you Omar, we will definitely come back for another tour with you!

Not enough to justify the drive - I must be clear that all the staff were really nice and very helpful. However I have to say that we didn’t enjoy this trip. Basically we were in a hot crowded van for 10 hours each way to go to a campsite that could have been located anywhere.
