An unforgettable route in the desert - I have been a very instructive and pleasant route. Idrrass has been at all times watching us and our guide Nassim was very friendly and attentive. The rest in the camp was a very pleasant and relaxing time and the exquisite food, of the best we have eaten in Morocco.

Experiencing Morocco on the arm of a local to see everything you normally would not. - We arrived rather ill prepared for the desert, so our tour guide took the time before we left to properly stock us with everything we asked for. After that it was smooth sailing. Good English and we really came to places that we never would have ourselves, profiting from all the connections the guide and the driver have. All in all it was very beautiful and if our guide did not know the absolute best views and things to do, he knew someone who did. Would definitely recommend. Also perfect for vegetarians/vegans.

Beautiful and authentic experience - We were in the desert last Sunday. It was an authentic and unforgettable experience. Wonderful views and we will always remember with great pleasure the courtesy and kindness of Jawad, who acted as our guide. After the visit to the dunes and a one-hour ride on the dromedary, a delicious lunch in the desert, we can say we are really satisfied. Recommended! Marco, Michela, Valerio and Daniela from Italy

Amazing desert - Very good experience, but would recommend the 2 nights. Otherwise the road becomes very long, as it is 3 hours out and 3 hours back.
