Exclusive Merzouga Desert Safari: Camel Ride, Sandsurf & Dinner

Nice experience, the kids had a lot of fun. Dinner and breakfast at the camp were great. Staff and guides were friendly and professional. Camp is clean and has nice views (although it is right next to all the other camps). At the end of your camel trip, the guide tries to sell you some 'homemade' items (which are basically the same items you can buy at any tourist shop in Morocco). While I understand they are just trying to make some extra money. It does not feel good to be put on the spot. We had planned to give the guide a tip, so just used that money to buy one of the items. Although a lot of the reviews mention a camel trip in the morning, we only rode the camels to the camp, and were taken back by jeep. All in all not a big issue, but a bit of a disappointment to the kids who expected another camel trip. The trip description mentions that water is included on the trek and in the camp. We were not provided water during the trek, and at the camp, only one bottle of water for 10 people was included. At 45 degrees, this is clearly not enough. We had 20 liters of water in the car, but didn't bring it, as we assumed it was included. This should be more clearly stated. It was a very thirsty night. Regardless of these downsides, it was still a memorable trip, and a highlight for the kids.

An unforgettable experience in the heart of the desert of Merzouga! The campsite was beautifully organized, the staff was incredibly kind and always made us feel special. The tents were clean and comfortable, and the food was delicious. We watch the stars at night and enjoy traditional music around the fireplace. Highly recommended for those who visit Morocco!

Our experience in the desert was amazing. The guides were really friendly and attentive. They were always happy to help or take some pictures for us. We were able to do a lot of sand boarding while waiting for the sunset and enjoyed a great dinner at camp with the rest of the group. The night ended with dancing to drums, as well as learning how to play ourselves. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was really okay for being in the desert. Big thank you again to the guides :)

Fantastic experience sleeping under the stars! Enjoyed the peacefulness of the Sahara and listening to great stories from the upbringings in the desert

The guys were very welcoming and I also could participate at the daily life there. The trips in the desert were amazing too. Great food and accommodation. Ill be back soon I hope...

A fantastic experience! The camel ride was magical, and the views of the Sahara Desert at sunset will stay in my heart forever! The dinner was also very delicious. I was impressed with the organization and everything overall. The camels were well cared for and in great condition. 😊

It was a wonderful experience, probably the most memorable in Morocco. Everything was organized perfectly. Incredible camel ride through the dunes at sunset, delicious and varied dinner, cozy tent with a hot shower. By the way, we stayed in several tents in Merzouga, but this one was the warmest (in winter) and there was a really good water pressure in the shower. Perfect service and very friendly staff, speaking many languages. Special thanks to Youssef! My friend is a professional art photographer and our main goal was to organize an unusual photo shoot. He helped us with everything down to the smallest detail, and was simply always nearby and in touch, which made the stay even more comfortable and helped us to implement the project. Yousef, we couldn’t have done it without you!

Youssef is the kindest and most genuine tour guide you are ever likely to meet. Just ask him anything and he will help you. Our six day excursion from Marrakesh to Merzouga included time in his home village of Hassilabied where we were welcomed by both his family and friends. We had a whistle stop tour of many wonderful places and felt protected and safe at all times. Thank you so much Youssef x

Amazing time exploring the desert. Our guide Youseff was fantastic. A wonderful experience. From Glamping in the desert, camel rides 4x4 on the sand dunes. Just fab! Thank you

We met Yusseff last year via booking.com and decided this year to run a yoga retreat in the Sahara with his help. Yusseff met our group of 8 in Marrakech with a large minibus and we set off on our adventure. His prompt communication via WhatsApp was reassuring and his organisational and problem solving skills are second to none. As a group of women we felt completely safe and he did his best to accommodate our wishes. The accomodation at each stage of the journey was excellent and the desert experience was magnificent. We highly recommend Yusseff and will return ourselves for future adventures.
