Magical Experience - This was a once in a lifetime trip! We had a great time.
Travel- We were picked up in a central location by our van. We had a total of 20 people in our group as well as a driver and guide. We were tightly packed into the van so we all became friends quickly. Although there was a lot of driving over the 3 days, we did stop often so we were never in the van for more than 1.5hours at a time. We stopped for a few tours along the way where we met with a local guide who showed us around the location. All the local guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. It took 2 days to get to Merguza and 1 day to return, so keep in mind that the last day will be about 8-9 hours in the car. Not ideal but worth it for the experience in the desert.
Food/Drink- There was no water provided, and lunches were an extra cost. You will be taken to a restaurant where there is a set price for a buffet. Plan on spending $15 per meal if you want to do that option.
Accommodations- The hotel the first night is located around the Valley of Roses. It was an average hotel which met our needs for the 1 night.
Desert Experience- When we got to the desert, we were given time to change into appropriate clothing and then loaded on our camels to take an hour ride into the desert camp location. We stopped along the way to watch the sun set and to sandboard. The standard camp site is very basic. If you choose the luxury, you will be taken to an entirely separate location. I'm not sure what their accommodations were like. If you pick the standard option, just keep in mind that you are camping in the desert. There were about 100 people total in the camp site, and shared bathrooms/showers were available. The next morning we woke up at 5 am to eat breakfast and head back into the desert to watch the sun rise. It was a magical experience and I'm so glad we did it.

100% Recommended. - Great trip. And very good for the price, I’d add. Hakim and Abdel were great! Abdel especially as tour guide was very knowledgeable. He and the Berber guide who showed us the fields and canyons, I felt, were particularly patient and empathetic.
An issue that arose at the camp was dealt with appropriately. I’m quite impressed with the response/outcome which raises my review from a 9/10 to a 10/10.
If a friend of mine were visiting Morocco I’d 100% recommend this trip.
Many thanks 🙏

Amazing tour! - This tour was amazing! I got to see a side of Morocco I would have never been able to on my own. The tour guide Ali and the driver were personable, funny, helpful, and made me feel at ease as a female solo traveler. They were punctual and the tour was well organized. The desert camp is beautiful but be prepared for the heat. It is a desert after all lol. The only complaint I have which is why I gave 4 stars is the hotel we stayed in the first night. It did not meet the standards the rest of the trip upheld and I would recommend they find another hotel owing forward. It was too old. Otherwise, this trip was an amazing way to get a feel for the real Morocco!

Highly recommend - Impressive and diverse experience, highly recommended!
In just three days we’ve seen cities, villages, mountains and the desert and got a lot insights into culture.
Rida is a save driver and a sympatric person, that drove us through a lot of Berber villages and places until Sahara.
On the way we had a lot of stops for sightseeing, talking and local guides were invited.
Accommodation and dinner in the hotel and tent (basic) in the Sahara were amazing.
The only thing was the driver on the last day from Sahara to Fez.
He spoke no word English and dropped us on places, we did not know where we are.
He was super nervous, screamed a lot into his phone while driving. He did not respect the driving rules, left the streets several times because he was distracted by phone or his Arabic radio.
Very respect less person, that did not allow me to close the window. I left the car before we arrived in Fez and switched to another to not risk my life.
