We just arrived from this excursion to the Merzouga Desert, it was wonderful! A unique experience, we pass through a lot of villages, Berber women cooperatives that make carpets, those that make Argan oil, the walk through the ancient kasba of Ait Ben haddou, the spectacular views of the fingers of Dades, the oasis of thinghir, the night in the desert, the camel ride, the starry sky and the sunrise in the dunes, all spectacular! We went with Abdo and Reda, they are super friendly and attentive, worried that everything was okay for us, thank you very much!
Amazing sights on the way to desert and Reda, our guide was fantastic. Couldn’t do enough for us. He was friendly and informative. Other tour guides for activities along the way were also fabulous. The desert experience was great. Included camel ride, sunset in desert. Beautiful meal, traditional dancing and music around campfire at night and sunrise jeep ride and breakfast. We great memories and would definitely recommend!

Good. Simple good. But the best was driver. Very safe and very good points for stop. Good also was great. We were 7 and the rest of the bus were different people from different places. Only negative was that they are very calm and boring. The rest for good

It was a great experience! The driver was super sweet ! He fulfilled all wishes and paid attention to everyone. The air conditioning helped against the heat and he always asked for our well-being. In addition, many stops were made to take photos and the viewpoints were also worthwhile. Also the tour through the desert was great and an incredibly beautiful experience:)

The trip to meet the Sahara It was very long but in all that journey I saw Morocco. If you want new experiences and unique memories I would recommend you to choose Morocco without hesitation. Because you discover something invisible to the eye with your chest. If you need anything for your trip to Morocco don't hesitate and ask the driver Reda. Your journey will be more enriching. Korea, Kim
