5.00It was a truly unforgettable trip — riding camels and watching the sunrise and sunset. I would recommend it to everyone.
The camel ride through the Shara desert, sand boarding, star gazing, and ATV ride were the experiences of a life time.

5.00The itinerary was well thought out and the logistics worked out great. The guide is attentive and helpful. We did not have hot water in the shower the first night so it could be improved.
Glad we chose this tour

5.00Our guide and driver, Hakim, was very friendly and helpful with the entire trip. You’d not be disappointed. And he took care of everyone while fasting for Ramadan, which was impressive. I’d choose him again if I could.
Magnificent!

5.00It was an incredible experience, both the time in the desert and the ride and stops in between. Highly recommended. The tour guide Iddir took every single one into consideration and had everything under super control.
Great experience in the desert

5.00This trip is really recommended. You can see many beautiful places of Morocco. The biggest highlight is the desert tour. It was an unforgettable experience. We also rented quad bikes on site and that was a personal highlight again. All staff of hotels, camps etc. were always very polite and courteous. We booked the deluxe camp in the desert and it was a great experience. Iddir was our guide on the tour. He drove and took us to the best places. He went out of his way to give everyone in the group the best possible experience. If someone in the group had a problem, they always tried to find a solution. It’s a long drive, but with lots of stops and special highlights, it doesn’t feel like it.

5.00This tour is an incredible way to explore the beauty of Morocco. We saw amazing places: Ait Ben Hadou, Atlas mountains, Tinerjir, Kalaat Mgouna, Todra Gorge, Merzouga desert, monkey forest. Our driver, Youssef was very helpful and attending. What I liked most is what people complain about; the long drive associated with the tour. We saw so many diverse landscapes. We were riding the camels under the scorching sun in Sahara, and few hours later we were playing with the snow in the Monkey forest. Potential recommendations: A microphone can be added in the van so that every passenger can hear the explanations of the driver. Sometimes we felt we were in a rush. I wish we had more times in some places, for example in Ait Ben hadou.
Best trip EVER
