Amazing! - I recently took a 3-day tour to the Merzouga Desert, and it was absolutely unforgettable. The journey was well-organized, with scenic stops in the Atlas Mountains and traditional Berber villages along the way. Arriving in Merzouga, we were greeted by golden dunes stretching endlessly—a breathtaking sight. The camel trek to our desert camp was both thrilling and peaceful, and the camp itself was cozy and comfortable, with delicious Moroccan food and lively music around the fire. Watching the sunset and sunrise over the dunes was truly magical. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Morocco!

BEST TOUR EVER - I had one of the best tour guides ever, Houcine was just amazing!!! He was very caring, funny, and thoughtful. If anyone needed anything he would cater to their needs. He even stopped the bus for a pharmacy when someone asked. He made sure our accommodations were great and checked in often. He made everyone feel included and cared for. I would recommend for everyone to book this tour and asked for Houcine!!!! I give this experience 10000000 stars!!!!!

Great experience - Really nice organization and Iddir was an amazing guide. All the attractions along the way were really worth it and the time in the dessert was amazing. Definitely recommend. Also need to note that the place they have setup in the middle of the dessert is maybe the best I have experienced in terms of comfort, cleanliness and amenities in a similar setup. Totally worth it

Incredible trip through Morocco! - Such a fun weekend! From the views, to the food and people, to even the drive it was an incredible trip. Our driver Abis was such a cool guy and even though it was a lot of driving he made it such a fun time ! He had wifi, let us play some jams and told us all about his life in Morocco. Each stop he took us to was beautiful and it was awesome getting to see so much of Morocco. The people we met along the way were so sweet and really made the trip. Spending time in the Sahara Desert was an incredible experience and was the highlight of the trip. We got to ride camels, sandboard, watch sunset and sunrise, dance to drums, and ride atvs. I would recommend this trip to anyone and without a doubt one of the coolest places I've ever been to !

I would do it again! Fantastic weekend. - Best weekend ever!! Abis was a wonderful tour guide. He was a fantastic driver and so kind to us. Every part of this trip went smoothly. The hotel and tents were great, the food was amazing, the van was comfortable (with wifi!) and the excursions were beautiful. You definitely have to be okay with long car rides, but it is so worth it. The villages, canyon, mountains, and dunes were like nothing I had ever seen. I also highly recommend doing the ATV add-on on the last day. The only thing I wish I had done differently was bring more small bills and coins for tipping the excursion guides (euros were usually accepted as well).

3 Day Adventure - This experience was simply amazing. We really enjoyed the stop at Ait Ben Haddou the camel ride and desert. Our guide for the 3 days was kind and respectful throughout the frip. He answered all the questions we asked. Our suggestion is that all the guides should have some training in regards to sharing information/history about the places we pass and things we see without being asked. We spike to people at the camp who said their driver had a speaker and was telling then things throughout their trip. (He even suggested getting drinks for their night in the desert and kept them in a cooler for his group to enjoy.)
