5.00The tour was simply AMAZING! We were 5 girls traveling together and felt so safe and taken care of all the time. Sayd was the best! Regarding the tour itself, it was magic, the true Morocco experience: We saw the ancient part of the town, we rode camels into the sunset, stayed in the most luxurious tend (beautiful, incredibly clean, hot water, electricity, wifi), had delicious dinner, had a great music authentic show, saw the starts from the dunes and the sunrise the next morning from the Sahara. This tour was the highlight of our experience in Morocco. Thanks again for making it all so special! Cannot recommend them enough, 100% trustworthy.

View of the Jbel Sarhro. Arrival at Merzouga and its sublime dunes. Departure the next day to return via the impressive Todra gorges and the valley of roses.
