For quality / price ratio HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! - Absolutely Recommended experience; needless to say, the maximum you have once you arrive in the desert, unforgettable place! Communication with Morocco Trip excellent before leaving, the day before the guide / driver contacts you and puts you in a whatsapp group with which it was very easy to organize for the pickup, we happened Hakim, absolutely nothing to say, accurate and punctual, and always available. Obviously, so many kilometers to grind (the last day the return I admit was felt), but it's worth it. The places where you stop for breaks and lunches are very touristy, be prepared to eat almost always the same things for 3 days, but there is no lack of choice and the quality is always sufficient. Beautiful also the visits to Ait ben haddou and the Todra Gorge (in the second also a visit to a Berber village with a tour of the Berber home of carpet makers, beautiful!); the driver in these places will leave you for a few hours with a local guide, which is not included but in the end will only ask you to leave a tip (in Morocco for these things a tip is a must). The hotels for us were the HOTEL BOUGAFER in Tinghir on the first evening (good solution, nothing to say) and MERZOUGA DUNES LUXURY CAMPS on the second evening in the desert; we had the deluxe option with a very comfortable tent for two people with private bathroom, comfortable and clean, in February the night in the desert is cold, but they give you many blankets and the problem is not there anymore, to be there in the desert at that price was very pleasant, with very fun evening around the campfire and with the local boys entertaining guests, under a sky that you will never forget. Possibility to both the outward and return to choose between camel (included in the price) or quad or 4x4 for a fee (I recommend the ride at dawn with quads, not so much for the adrenaline, but for the landscape and crazy colors). Overall, forget about luxury, if you're looking for the wrong place, but at this price for a 3 days and 2 nights tour with transfer and half of meals included, it's virtually impossible to find better. Beautiful both to do as a couple and in with a group of friends. Perfect temperatures in February, during the day it is almost always short-sleeved (in the desert it is like hell), in the evening and early in the morning it is cold, but nothing unbearable. REALLY SUPER RECOMMENDED!!!

Great trip, with a Great Guide and a Great Group - Fantastic trip. Douzi was an excellent tour guide who led the tour with humour and efficiency. The tour itinerary was excellent, a perfect introduction to the countryside of Morocco. Day 1 highlighted the High Atlas and Berber culture with great scenery and interesting stops. An overnight in a pleasant hotel. The second day was the highlight of the trip, we moved on into the Sahara where camel rides, quad biking and a desert sunset were great. The luxury tents were spot on, electricity and hot water. After dinner and the Berber show the stars were spectacular! The one downside was the long drive back to the city, which is unavoidable given the ground covered over the first two days. Douzi managed this brilliantly, with multiple short breaks. I have to say, I'm not a great passenger, but Douzi's driving was impeccable. In a country where driving can be aggressive, he was smooth, measured and safe. Great job.

Simooo was amazing, always smiling and keeping everybody happy! 10/10 stars! - Highly recommend these guys! Amazing few days outside the city, stunning views on the drive to the desert and all the guides were incredible. Simo was fantastic, organising local Berber tribe activities for us on the first day, and Camel and Quads in the desert. Incredible food and a wonderful international group trip! Accommodation was wonderful. Thanks all

Exciting experience - Fantastic experience, you visit very beautiful places, and when you arrive in the Marzouga desert it is a unique emotion. We crossed a camel, sandboard and quad bike at dawn (not included in the price) and it was magical.

Excursion Merzouga - Very good excursion, highly recommended. Our Guide was Omar, fantastic. He picked us each up from the group at the Riyadh. The first day we made a few stops at different places: Toudgha Tinghir, stand out. The next day we marched into the desert. Omar was very attentive and detailed. It has been a unique and incredible experience, which Omar with his sympathy and kindness; has made it better. Thank you so much for everything Omar.
