Friends in the desert 🐫 - Our guide Otmane was the best! I did 10 different excursions on my entire trip and he was the most professional and friendly. He speaks Spanish very well and I recommend him without reservation. He explained to us about the culture and religion of Morocco and answered all our questions.

Mamo is the best - Momo is very sweet and funny. He picks you up and drops you off wherever you need. We went to the Merzouga Desert and the ride was very smooth.

Imad best guide! - We did the desert tour with Imad. Let me tell you he is the best tour guide you might have. He showed us all the best places and kept everything under perfect control, the time, organisation and everything runned smoothly. He was never in rush, gave us all the time to go to the toilet or take pictures, took his time to take each one of us back to our hotel and not a random meeting point. He is very polite and discreet and made our tour better than it could be.

Trip to Merzouga Sahara with a camel ride and tent lodging - This tour was very well organized at the beginning. They picked us up at the hotel on time, and we gathered with other travelers in a small restaurant for a delicious and cheap breakfast. We had a minibus going to Merzouga, which took place around 11 hours with driver Imad14. The driver was friendly, generous, and fun. All the passengers had a good time with Imad14. He dropped us at the stop point, and we rode a camel to the tent. The tent has a queen bed and a standard bathroom. We had dinner, a cultural music performance, and danced together, The program is good, and the food was delicious. However, if you plan to stay overnight in the tent, bring extra clothes as it was freezing in the evening. We could not sleep well because we did not prepare for the situation. The next day, we had breakfast early in the morning and packed to check out. People can ride a camel from the tent to the meeting point, but we took a car instead. At the meeting point, there were other travelers waiting for the pickup to the next destination. Unfortunately, we had an uncomfortable experience as we had to wait for around 2 hours for our transport. The organizer should have done a better job by updating the travelers on the transport situation. The ride to our next destination took around 11 hours. Overall, this trip is interesting as this is our first trip to Sahara, if we did not have to waste hours waiting for the transport, this trip would have been perfect.

Excursion of a lifetime - Hunter S Thompson said “buy the ticket, take the ride” and I can honestly say we were so glad we did. We worried the travel time would eat into our trip…but it was so worth having the experience. The guides and drivers were charming and entertaining…and the accommodations far exceeded my expectations. Riding the camel to camp was so cool….but the desert, it was magic. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Morocco.
