Lovely experience - We went for 4 days and three nights. We did the tour as it was scheduled. But the last day, since we were staying a day more, we stayed in the hotel Palais les Dunes. The responsible of the Hotel Zaid was super friendly and made everything easy. We stayed all dsy in the pool, and then we did the 4X4 excursion and the Quad in the dessert. They were both amazing experienced. The room in the Hotel was super nice as well as the pool, it was really nice to have that day extra in the dessert. It’s really worthy to stay one day longer so you could do those field trips. 3 days goes pretty fast and you don’t have much time to do both of this. Totally recommend the trip to the dessert! It was an amazing experience.

Romance and adventure in Marrakech - Extremely helpful and comprehensive concierge experience. The three days involves extensive driving from Marrakech to the Sahara which is unavoidable, but the multiple stops at entertaining and archeological locations was perfect. Absolutely upgrade to the quality Riad and Berber desert tent experience.

Amazing Desert Experience - The trip was really well organized! We had an amazing driver who was looking after us all the time. It is a long journey but on the way you will meet lots of locals, visit different places and of course Sahara. it is a really beautiful experience in the desert, camel ride, locals playing drums! Just keep in mind than you don’t go really far into the desert, the tent where you would stay overnight is located 15 min away. Also, be prepared for the dessert as it is really cold overnight!
