3.00Beautiful discovery DE the region. With pleasant guides. But lots DE car rides. We will take you to DE more and more expensive shops, as well as to so-called local restaurants with ‘special tourist’ rates and more than average food. You will have no choice but DE take this. This is the disappointing part of the stay. Pleasant activity overall.
Inoubliable

4.00The Price quality ratio of this activity is really good. We had 3 memorable and busy days. Our guide Moha was very kind and helpful. Remember to provide enough cash for tips, meals that are not included in the price (between 120 and 130 dirhams per meal) and drinks. An unforgettable experience.
A wonderful trip full of great memories

4.00I had a wonderful experience on this trip. A special thank you to Hassan Amiri for his excellent guidance—he made sure all our questions were answered and our needs were met. I’d also like to thank Younes for driving us safely throughout the journey. I would definitely recommend this trip, but it’s important to manage your expectations. If you’re looking for a luxury experience with gourmet dining and upscale hotels, this may not be the right fit. Most tours visit the same locations due to the limited number of restaurants and accommodations in the region. However, if you're looking for adventure and a chance to discover the natural and cultural beauty of Morocco, this trip is an excellent choice. Additional Information & Tips: Bring some extra cash. Not all meals are included, and you’ll likely want to purchase drinks and snacks along the way. The desert accommodations are basic, which is understandable given the remote setting and limited infrastructure. Don’t expect amenities like air conditioning, but they are suitable for the environment and the experience. The camel ride into the desert can be uncomfortable for some people, especially over longer distances. Fortunately, there are alternative options such as taking an ATV or a jeep for an additional fee if you prefer. There are a few stops at local shops or cooperatives along the route. These are likely part of partnerships, which is quite common since tourism is a major part of the local economy. However, there’s no pressure to buy anything, and I personally never felt uncomfortable. In fact, it can be a convenient option for those who won’t have time to visit the souks later. Be sure to bring an insulated water bottle, as the desert heat can make regular bottled water very warm. Make sure you have enough water with you, especially during the desert portion of the trip.
