Reality surpasses imagination - Indescribable! I'm still in Morocco but I'm already suffering from Africa sickness. It was a unique experience that I highly recommend. Mohamed made us fall in love with his kindness, sweetness and friendliness, tireless! It took us from Marrakech to the Marzouga desert and finally to Fez. During the night in the desert we met fantastic people like Yousef, they will forever be in my heart. Impeccable organisation, we got to know the true soul of the desert.

Unforgettable experience - We spent a fantastic private tour with our driver Ali who took us in wonderful places teaching us a lot of things about this fantastic territory. No words to explain how we feel once we saw Sahara desert for the first time. We rode a camel and with youssef we went till our camp that was amazing too. We enjoyed taking photos and doing sand boarding in the dunes. Everyone were really kind with us. They prepared a traditional Berber dinner for us and the we sand all together nearby the bonfire. Thank you for this great experience . We will never forget it.

Once in a Lifetime Experience - Marrakech Camel Trips - The Marrakech Camel Trips was definitely one of my favorite memories while traveling to Morocco. The staff members were very kind and courteous throughout our stay and made us feel welcome and comfortable. Riding the Camels through the Sahara Desert to the camp was such a fun experience (You also have the option of getting driven to the camp by car if you wish to go that route). We stayed in the luxury tents where we had a large space and bed, as well as working electricity and a functioning private bathroom and shower. We only stayed for one night but I would definitely recommend staying 2 or 3 days to get the full experience and do many of their excursions. We will be planning a longer duration of stay the next time we come back. We had a wonderful driver, Ali Boykbane, who picked us up from our Riad in Marrakech and drove us all the way to Merzouga where the camps are located. Ali made sure we were comfortable throughout the whole ride and the recommendations he made for stops were amazing. We stopped at many different shops and restaurants. We met so many wonderful people, ate the local cuisine, and got to experience Morracan culture in the best way possible. I would highly recommend him as your driver while booking tours with Marrakech Camel Trips. Tips: Some establishments do take Euros as a form of payment. No many places take US dollars, but it's best to have Dirham. There are ATMs in a few villages on the way to Merzouga just in case you run out (like I did). - bring a scarf to cover your nose and mouth while traversing the desert and sunglasses to protect your eyes. it can be windy so sand is flying all over the place. - enjoy yourself. everyone is incredibly caring here!
