Just book the trip and enjoy the adventure. - Amazing Trip with Amazing Driver and Tour Guides. We went in June when there are more sand storms and it is a bit warmer. There was a sandstorm the night we drove in. We decided to delay the camel ride until the morning for sunrise. We had a lovely evening with lots of food. They offered to have a fire and music, but we were ready for bed. We had an early morning camel ride, which was lovely. We took a short break to walk around a bit too. As it was June, we were the only ones at our camp, and all the other nearby camps were broken down for the season. Our driver Budder, aka Pablo, was the best. Safe driver, friendly, and happy to answer all of our questions. I cannot say enough about how we enjoyed our drive with him. He pointed to interesting sights, had great conversations, and gave us peace when needed. The drive is long, but it is an adventure with great stops along the way. We did do some shopping at the stops, including some amazing pottery and rugs. Just book the trip and enjoy the adventure.

Well organised, beautiful trip to cross the atlas and finish in the desert - We booked the tour prior to our trip to Marrakesh. The communication with Mohamed was easy and quick. We took a private tour . Issam our driver through the guide was really helpful and easy to talk to. We stopped at ait Ben haddou and spent a lovely time discovery this beautiful village . Then in the evening we arrived perfectly on time for a one hour camel ride to the camp . The camp and tent were lovely . The dinner and breakfast were really good . We woke to watch the sunrise and it is really something to not miss !! On the return, we told Issam that we wanted to come back to Marrakesh a bit earlier as the kids were tired and he drove us safely and surely to Marrakesh . It was a very pleasant and easy tour despite the distance . Thank you

An unforgettable experience! - My girlfriend and I took a two-day desert trip to Marrakech! An unforgettable memory! Nothing to be afraid of! Mohamed explains everything perfectly and flexibly in advance and makes the arrangements. It was much better than we expected! The trip may seem long, but thanks to beautiful scenery and well timed amazing stops, it flies by quickly. Our guide was called Aissam! She is an excellent driver, you feel completely safe with her, not only on the road but throughout the whole trip! She is an extremely good companion and told us a lot of interesting things about the country, its culture and natural features during the trip! I could also call him a guide. He is a completely open person, you don't have to be afraid of anything, you can ask him about anything, he is not a barrier to different nationalities! The desert Berber people are very hospitable. We were satisfied with everything and we recommend it to everyone with a clear heart!

Sahara Tour - Yassin Koman is a very humorous, kind and sincere tour guide! With his company, we spent two unforgettable days in the desert. During this period, he took us to experience the local cultural life and humanistic environment, saw the magnificent Sahara Desert, and took very satisfactory photos for us!

A worthwhile experience - The tour guide Yassin was very funny, sincere and responsible. He found scenic spots for us based on pictures. He was a great driver and gave each of us Arabic names. The service in the tent was very warm and polite. Tourists were welcome to experience it. Although the hardware facilities were simple, the tent was clean. Riding a camel was fun, but it was enough to do it once.

Beautiful scenery - Many great things about this experience- the scenery on the drive to the Sahara was beautiful, the camp was truly luxurious, and our driver Farris was knowledgeable, courteous, and an excellent and safe driver. Please be aware there is a lot of driving (most of the time is spent in the car) so plan accordingly. The sunset and sunrise over the desert was beautiful, and visits to the other sites quite interesting.

Amazing guides - Our 2-day desert tour was an unforgettable experience, thanks to our driver, Housni. Since it was the beginning of August, the heat was intense, but having a private tour meant we could stop for refreshments whenever we needed. Housni was not only a great driver but also an insightful guide, sharing valuable tips for the rest of our travel. One highlight was stopping in a village where we ordered meat from a butcher, and the restaurant next door grilled it for us. We asked for something different, not the typical touristic places, and Housni delivered! When we got to Zagora, he introduced us to another fantastic guide, the cameleer Adi, a sweet man who made our time in the desert memorable and comfortable. The staff at the camp were accommodating, and since it was the slow season, we had almost the entire place to ourselves. After a walk, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner. Though it was more food than we typically eat, we did our best because it was quite delicious. The next morning, we witnessed a beautiful sunrise and took photos on the dunes (it's a rocky desert at the beginning, but the camp area is sandy). After breakfast and packing up, we headed back to meet Housni, who took us to the airport. Our flight was delayed, but he stayed with us, ensuring we were taken care of. This tour was filled with unique experiences, from local culinary delights to scenic desert landscapes, and the personalized care we received made it all the more special. If you're looking for an authentic and tailored desert adventure, this is the tour for you!

Beautiful sights and wonderful people! - Wonderful experience from end to end! Mohamed was an incredible tour guide and driver, pick up and drop off was perfectly smooth and he took us to beautiful places along the way to the Berber camp. We were in great hands the whole time and it felt like we made a friend along the way! Thank you for everything Mohamed, we will never forget this trip!
