Best way to explore beyond the dunes

5.00We did the Merzouga 4x4 Excursion, which was great. Our guide was very friendly and spoke good English. The route was very interesting - the seasonal lake, Gnawa music in Khamlia village, and then going to the old lead mines area. The other side of Erg Chebbi Dunes looked completely different. The driver drove carefully but there were also some bumpy rides that gave a sense of adventure. Everything is exactly as described. If you have time in Merzouga, you must do this tour. Great value!
Best experience in the Sahara!

5.00Starting from Merzouga, this 4x4 tour was truly unforgettable. It was as if the whole of the Sahara was welcoming us as we hurried along in a 4x4 jeep through the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi Dunes. The old mining town of Mefes, in particular, looked strange - its silence and crumbling buildings gave it a different historical feel. Lunching with the Berber nomads was the best experience. The way they cooked fresh food will be remembered for a long time. Going to Gnawa village and listening to their music and watching the sunset from the high dunes of Erg Chebbi - all this tour has given a very exciting and new experience.
Unforgettable 4x4 desert experience!

5.00We had a great experience on the Merzouga 4x4 Tour Around Erg Chebbi Dunes.The driver was very professional and safe. We were fascinated by Erg Chebbi Dunes, especially at sunset. We stopped at Khamlia village, listened to Gnawa music there and had mint tea with the locals - it was a very nice cultural experience. It is also very interesting to see the abandoned lead mines of Mefes. Our pickup from the desert camp was on time. This is a must visit in Merzouga!
Trip Was Truly Special!!

5.00It's a great trip to Morocco! Everything went smoothly with the team's clear communication and quick response. Our guide / driver Hassan made our family trip really special.He was polite, knowledgeable, and had such a positive attitude that we felt like we were traveling with a friend. The highlights were definitely the golden dunes of Merzouga, the majestic Atlas Mountains, and the beautiful architecture in the cities.They even helped us book a memorable desert camel ride and a cooking experience. All Riads were excellent and the private transportation made the journey comfortable despite the distances. If you’re planning to visit Morocco, don’t hesitate to book with them. We already miss Hassan’s funny stories and warm hospitality!
Peace of mind of a solo traveler.

5.00I came to the Sahara Desert to take a break from my busy corporate life and talk to myself. I made this decision alone and it was the best decision of my life. During the Camel Trek, I didn't talk for hours, just enjoyed nature. The huge dunes of Erg Chebbi made me feel very small, which washed away all the pride in my mind. When I reached the camp, I found that my stay was very safe and luxurious. I got acquainted with some other travelers there, but my privacy is also completely protected. At night I sat in front of the tent and looked at the sky, it seemed that thousands of stars were looking at me. I've never had that peace and quiet in my life. The food tasted rustic and fresh, refreshing both my body and mind. This trip has taught me how to live anew.
Amazing Introduction to Desert Life

5.00This is my first trip to the desert. So I didn't know what to expect. The trip started on time, the car and the driver were very good. On the way, we stopped at some historical places and took pictures. When I reached Merzouga desert, I was shocked at first sight. I had never seen such big sand dunes before. The camel ride was a little uncomfortable at first, but once you got used to it, it started to be fun. At the night camp, they arranged live music for us, we all sat and listened. The food was very flavorful. Overall, it was a perfect experience for a first time.
Excellent

4x4 Rush, Sandboarding

5.00I wanted an adventure, not a quiet tour! Starting from Errachidia, the car drove along winding mountain roads, which was an exciting drive in itself. On our way to Todra Gorge we hiked to some places, which was great. But the real action begins in Merzouga. The 4x4 desert safari was crazy and exciting—driving fast over sand dunes, dropping suddenly into the sloping sand. Then sandboarding! The night ends with the camp dancing to the beat of Berber drums and drinking local tea.
An unforgettable journey through the dunes of Erg Chebbi

5.00I am a thrill lover, and for me, a vacation means doing something exciting. The biggest attraction of this tour was the desert of Merzouga. I've been to many places in my life but the dunes of Erg Chebbi are very different. The feeling of riding a camel deep into the desert at sunset was unbelievable. I felt like I was on the set of a movie. Staying at Desert Camp at night was one of the best adventures of my life. I have never seen such a clear sky in the city,as if there were thousands of stars hanging under the sky. Listening to people's music over and over again and sitting by the fire and enjoying the silence is not an exaggeration, but a real experience. I'll never forget the excitement of waking up the next morning to see the sunrise. For those looking for thrilling experiences, this part of the desert is definitely the best.
this tour rocks
