Sunrise on a sand dune - This was just a brilliant experience, covering 800km in two days... from the madness of Marrakesh, over the Atlas Mountains, and through to the edge of the desert. The camp, tent and entertainment were really great. And our guide (Taha) was friendly, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. Thoroughly recommend!

2 DaysTrip from Marrakech to Zagora - One of the best trips you can imagine to explore real morocco culture. We had fantastic and funny guide/driver (Ahmed) and yes, he should get Oscar reward for driving this dangerous roads. Besides spectacular mountain views with snow and villages on the hills, breath taking Ait Benhaddou village is UNESCO heritage. We end up one night sleeping on Sahara Desert with beautiful dunes of many designs created by the wind and riding camel on those dunes with the sunrise. Highly recommended trip !!!!! Fantastic experience ! Thank you Ahmed

Highly recommended tour with an excellent guide to Zagora. - The tour is highly recommended, and our driver, Ahmed, was fantastic. The stops were well chosen and we saw the best highlights along the way. Ahmed is a very kind and considerate person, knowledgeable guide and a good driver. The driver’s impressive knowledge of all the stops told us fascinating and insightful stories about each place we visited. The food in the camp, and on the stops underway was delicious and local! We were impressed by Zagora and the camp. It was a beautiful, calm place with a great atmosphere. As we visited the desert camp in February, it was a bit cold during the night in the tent, so bring some warm clothes. 10/10 experience!

Best in Morocco - Everything was great. desert experiences, camel rides and campsite facilities. In particular, the host's hospitality was flawless. The camel guide was very kind and kind to me, as he was very accommodating to me because I had poor English. Finally, he gave me a camel made of leaves. It was a good memory.

Not Enough Info Upfront / Poor Communication - 1. The photo is not accurate! You're not going to rolling sand dunes. It's a rocky, flat desert, with a small hill range. 2. It's 11 hours to get there and 10 hours back in the van!!! Do you want to spend two full days in a van full of strangers!? I got stuck with a kid throwing up in the back and obnoxiously loud ladies in the front seat blaring their choice of music. You do stop a few times; bio breaks, lunch, and tourist traps. Also, the air vents were busted so air was blasting in my face without a way to stop it or redirect it. 3. The drive through the mountains is pretty, but that's only a third of the drive. 4. The driver/guide was very nice though, not his fault this information is not shared upfront. Becuase of the reasons I share above, I know why they don't disclose this info.
