Merzouga 2024 - The experience was fantastic, we’ve seen a lot of beautiful things and had a lot of fun. I wanted to do a special mention to our driver and guide Dozi, who helped us with everything. He was really friendly, kind and accommodated every request that we had.

Amazing! Highly Recommend It! - Such an amazing trip. The best part was riding the camel and staying in a tent in the middle of the Sahara desert. It’s not your usual touristy experience where you ride the camel for a few minutes and just to take pictures. We actually rode the camel for more than 40 min to travel to where our camp is located and to travel back the next day. We even experienced sand storm and rain (yes, it rained in the desert and they said we were lucky because it only rains a few days a year) Staying overnight in the desert was a completely different feeling, it was so calm and peaceful. The next day, we stopped in a sand dune to watch the sunrise. While waiting for the sunrise, we did sand boarding. There was really no dull moment. The rest of the tour were also great. We get to interact with local berber people and taste authentic moroccan food. Our driver, Dozi was fantastic. He was so nice and accommodating. He always make sure we are comfortable. He also introduced us to moroccan music 🙂 I highly recommend this tour.

Amazing - FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! The whole journey is full of surprises. The night and the morning in Sahara is the peak, the amazing view at night, the exciting quading early in the morning. I enjoyed so much. Do book the luxury camp though, where you have AC. Special thanks to my tour guide Abdel and driver Brahim! They are fantastic. 💪💪💪
