From 10! - We didn't know very well what we were going to find and we are still amazed by the experience. The treatment of all the staff has been wonderful. Super delicious dinner. The luxury tents. After a short concert Hasan, who is a very cultured guy, told us a lot of things about the nomadic Berber world and life in the desert. We were chatting until a thousand hours. And then the dawn, playing with the boards, throwing ourselves through the dunes... Youseff, our camel guide, a charming boy. Even the camels seemed to smile! It was 9am and we were dancing salsa on his patio. In short, an experience of 10 that leaves us with a little taste. Next time, we will return for 6 days. Thank you all. Juan and Maria (Fatima).😘

Best way to visit Morocco for the 1st time - Our guide Houcine was great. He lives there and was happy to share just enough information about the locations we crossed. The group size of 15 was okay, more than that would be too much. The day after the tour we missed our guide: when I say you need one to peacefully visit Morocco I mean it. Sure you will be encouraged to spend a little bit of money and tips at some point, but you avoid the hassle of being constantly offered stuff and approached just because you are white.

Most beautiful place on earth - This was such a beautiful, once in a lifetime experience! Loved every minute! The two guides who served our food and played the drums were so much fun, and the campsite was clean and tidy. Watching the stars at night was breathtaking, and the camel ride was full of laughs.

Most memorable experience of Moroccan trip - This was the perfect experience for our Moroccan trip. Truly amazing! We were a little late arriving at the 4pm departure time but the host was totally fine with it and understanding. Hopped on our camels that we got to name ourselves, and we were off! The guide took great photos with us and was very pleasant and answered all of our questions. There was another guide at camp already and they prepared what may have been the best dinner of our entire trip with mint tea at sunset. Way better than expected. We then sat around a fire and they brought out some bongos and we had a great time playing music with them, talking and just taking in the entire experience. This was the best way to learn about the berber culture and music and they were very gracious in sharing that with us. They showed us some Desert Blues on spotify that we listened to for the rest of the trip and while back home because it is so good! We then had an amazing breakfast and did some sandboarding before we cameled back to the apartment and showered. We wish you the best in your future and keep on playing music! The apartment is a little difficult to find but just download that area for google maps beforehand and go directly to the location that the host sends you after booking.

Awesome Tour. I BS you not - I went by myself but was joined with other people..that was fine as my goal was to go and have a good experience and take pictures. The ride is about an hour to an hour and a half going and coming. It is a work out lol but cool...I didn’t care too much for the food but you can bring your own if you want...I definitely recommend this to anyone that wants a real experience in the Sahara

One of the best experience in my life - This experience was amazing. Our guide Aziz was really kind and helpfull. He was very convenient. When we wanted to stop at some place, he always did it. He cared about us for every details. The camel ride and the camp night was unbelievable. It was like a dream. We really enjoy the music/dance night. Food was really good! All the people were so kind and we really create relationships with them. At the end of the night, one of them told some berber’s riddles. It was really fun! We got to know them better and the way how they live. I recommand this experience! Geneviève

Camel overnight trek from merzouga - I thoroughly enjoyed riding in the dessert. Perhaps for me, the best part was being enveloped by a dust / hail / thunder / lightning / rain maelstrom while riding our camels. Free skin exfoliation from sand blasts. Food was plentiful and good. Tents were spacious and warm. Slight down side was that guides spoke very little English and spoke very little too us at all. Nothing was said as we ride through the storm. No pointers on best way to ride camel. No cultural/ history about life of Berbers in past or the present. Had an excellent time with other guests. We ended up starting the fire for them as they thought it could not be done with wet wood. They did play drums and taught us a few rhythms. There were flush toilets. We were able to shower in the morning when we got back. Ride in the dessert for sure. Maybe choose a different company
