Great tour but a lot of driving - Ali our tour guide was great! Riding the camels into the desert and staying in the desert camp was the highlight of the trip. The dunes are truly beautiful. Our booking however did NOT include an air conditioned tent, so be mindful of that when booking. There was the option to pay to upgrade to AC which I highly recommend doing—we did not and it was very hot even at night. While the evening/night/sunrise in the desert was truly amazing, the journey is a lot of driving—the last day is fully spent driving back. I am prone to feeling a bit nauseous if I am driving for extended hours so be mindful of that if that applies to you. You will also need cash (Durhams) to purchase things at stops, so make sure you bring at least 50-100 durhams with you.

Dessert safari tour - It was nice, we did start in the morning 7:00 am, our tour guide was very helpful. Camel ride in Merzouga was amazing. Our room between dunes was nice with air condition. Had a good time.

Fairytale night in the Sahara - Overnight in a luxury tent in the middle of the fabulous desert! Staff and director of the facility enegugliabili including Hassan with his dromedary to get there. Night in a tent and dinner with Super breakfast, an experience in this structure to try at least once in a lifetime, highly recommended!

Excellent experience! - Excellent experience with the most friendly guides Hakim and Brahim. As someone who has done both a 1-night tour and a 2-night tour I definitely recommend the 2-night tour. It is much more pleasant to go through the cities more slowly, see more cities and of course rest along the way. Guides Hakim and Brahim have given everything to put us at ease and have always found a solution to our needs. Hakim drove very safely which is of course very important during such a long road trip. Ait ben haddou, Tinghir, the Canyon and of course the Desert were breathtakingly clean. It is nothing like the pictures. The various local guides in these cities have of course also been a lake value for this trip. Especially Rachid in Tinghir with his brilliant knowledge of several languages a big impression. To conclude, I would like to thank Hakim and Brahim again and say that this is a must-do in Morocco.

Unforgettable memories - Luxury camps was an amazing experience, more than we expected. Our tour guide Ali what a gentleman, helpful, English and Spanish speaker. Driving with him was safe and stopped wherever we needed. Good advisor about places to eat, buggies in the sunset and camel ride under the sunrise. Everything was just perfect. The camps comfy, nice baths, good airco, nice people, nice food. I definitely wanna come back for more! Thank you soo soo much!

Enjoyed My Trip To Merzouga - Omar was very attentive during our tour. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was safe and happy. The tour was better with taking the quad bikes for the return trip from the camp, but the camel ride out was also enjoyable. The hotel on the first night had decent food and public areas, but my room had very poor bathroom facilities. For the price it was awesome, but be prepared for an early day on the last day and a 10 hour drive back to Marrakech.

Luxury Sahara Desert tour - The trip was really nice.. The highlight was the Sahara Desert camel ride to see the sunset and then the entire evening dinner, with the local music and singing and dancing. That was extremely interactive and fun for all the guests The team at the luxury camp was extremely friendly. Lovely dinner as well. The biggest let down was nio an at least , in the tent. It was extremely hot and suffocating and most of us couldn't sleep the whole night. We had an early morning start by 530 am, back jnti the desert, and this sleepless night got very tiring. Also the last day back, was almost with only coffee/ restroom stops and nothing else, so the extended seating in the van got very exhausting. Abdul was a very good, careful and patient driver.. He organised a lovely surprise birthday cake, for one of our group. Also, we felt a couple of photo stops were missed out, compared to what was written But on the whole, the dlovely. experience was lovely

Do NOT book luxury camp, book standard camp - The tour was fun but the luxury camp was not worth it and we regret paying that much money for it. I recommend booking the normal tour for 90-110€. For this price, I would have been super happy with the tour. This 190€ luxury tour only gets you a slightly nicer tent with a private bathroom in the desert camp and cement pathways. I don't feel like a private shower is worth paying almost double the price. The tour is otherwise exactly (!) the same as the standard tour, even the food & the music in the desert camps are the same (we were a mixed group and i compared photos and videos with the ppl from the normal camp). So don't expect a different tour for this higher price. The tour guide Iddir was friendly, explained everything very well and speaks a lot of languages. I specifically enjoyed Ait Ben Haddou and the ride on the Dromedars.
