Amazing Saharan desert visit! - Excellent experience from the drive to Zagora to the camel trek across to the campsite. Jamal is great fun to travel with and made sure there were lots of stops for our small children with small bladders. The campsite was equally amazing, well equipped and comfortable. Sunset from a camel and sunrise from the Saharan were beautiful. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend!

Unmissable - It’s a long drive to the Zagora but it was easy because of breathtaking mountain views and frequent stops. The bus was comfortable too. I never felt pushed to buy anything, though like every group tour we had lunch at overpriced tourist restaurants. I appreciated that we only stopped at Atlas Studios for a quick photo op. Our driver Roni was very accomodating, and the guides at each major stop were very experienced and informative. Bring lots of spare change as you are expected to tip everyone. The camels seemed healthy and not treated worse than any other camels domesticated by Berbers. The campsite exceeded all expectations (I felt like I was glamping) and the experience of sitting on top of a dune and watching a pastel sunset was just indescribable. 1000% worth it just for this alone. Met very nice people in the tour too. The tourist feeling of being in a group tour is a worthwhile exchange for an amazing experience at an affordable price.

Would recommend the desert trip :) - We loved the experience of staying at the desert camp, having a bonfire at night and an awesome sunrise at morning. We enjoyed the group dynamic and our driver Roni was very nice and organized everything very well.

Desert experience - Great experience of desert life, Abdul was excellent. Camel riding was nice and great atmosphere around the camp fire, comfortable set up for camping, with tents you can standup in and flushing toilets.

Not enough to justify the drive - I must be clear that all the staff were really nice and very helpful. However I have to say that we didn’t enjoy this trip. Basically we were in a hot crowded van for 10 hours each way to go to a campsite that could have been located anywhere.

To flee!!! - To flee!!! Real tourist trap!! If you book through your Riad, ask for the name of the agency offering the trip! We chose the formula of 2 days and one night in the desert around Zagora (note that the bivouac is not located in the desert but on the outskirts of Zagora) at 65€ all inclusive ... Plan a budget at least twice what is announced because everything is not included (meals of stages, village visits accompanied by a Guide, bottles of water on the bivouac, ...) If you book a tent for a couple, make sure to respect this request because the (unfriendly) staff on the bivouac will arrange to gather you with others and save them the cleaning. The experience could have been much more enjoyable but the services were false and of poor quality! It is irresponsible to drive 20 hours under 45 degrees in a 15-seater Minibus with USED TIRES and then spend a night in tents WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING in the summer season and without windows to make a good draft and sleep a minimum. However, the landscapes of the Atlas are very beautiful. Mustapha (our driver) is a very good person, human and very kind thanks to which I give only one point to this agency! In short, to flee!!!
