Are you looking for authenticity? Ali offers you a house for you alone, built by his family, located in the lunar town of Merzouga, lost in the middle of the desert. We are far from tourist hotels or large tour operator camps. You also have the option to enjoy typical dishes prepared by his mom on-site. Ali asked us about our expectations regarding activities. We wanted a complete immersion in the desert by camel. We were not disappointed. We found ourselves for 6 hours in this magnificent desert, alone in the world with Ali, who has known the most secret places since his childhood. We didn't run into anyone. We will always remember this barbecue and this little nap in an oasis.

would definitely go again!
We had a great experience in Morocco! We spent 8 days travelling around Marrakech, Ouarzazate and Merzouga, where we spent one night in the desert.
Our guide, Ali, was great. He walked with us through the desert to the camp and made the experience even more special. We really enjoyed talking with him and learning about Moroccan culture!
The desert was one of the best parts of our trip. We had never seen so many stars before! ✨
Thank you so much, Ali, for making this experience so enjoyable. We hope to come back to Morocco soon! ☺️

Roadtrip Merzouga
We had amazing experiences in Merzouga. We travelled by car with a group of friends. We booked a house in the village, and everything after that was pure joy. We went offroad driving, discovered new places with our houst, and he booked us a night in the desert including camels and quad bikes.
All people we met there were super friendly and helpful.
100% recommend for everyone who is looking for new experiences.

Got to know the life in and around Merzouga
Visiting the Sahara, riding a camel and staying overnight in a camp was the dream of my son and one of the main reasons for us to go to Morocco - and we returned with gleaming eyes, not from the sun and the heat, but from a great experience and the feeling to leave behind a friend where 2 days earlier we were strangers. We stayed one night in the standard desert camp and another one in Merzouga, at Ali's apartment. The second day we visited the lake, nomad families, searching for some fossils, playing around in the sand dunes and learning a bit to play the African drum. Most importantly, we learned quite a bit about Ali and his life in Merzouga. We truly recommend you spending some time with him!

Simply MAGICAL
Unforgettable experience, thank you Ali and Ismail!!!
We stayed in a typical small house and Ali took care of everything while adapting perfectly: meals on request (his mom treated us 🤩), camel ride, and a magical overnight stay in the desert! I highly recommend everyone to go through him and his family!

An unforgettable experience
From the moment I arrived in Merzouga, I knew I was going to have a unique experience. Everything was wonderful from beginning to end. One of the most special moments was seeing my son fulfill one of his biggest dreams: seeing the desert and riding a camel. It was a day full of emotion that we will never forget.
I want to especially highlight our guide, Ali, who was simply incredible. From the first moment, he was very kind, attentive, and always willing to make the experience perfect. He took beautiful photos of us, taught us how to put on the traditional turban, and, during a stop in the dunes before arriving at the camp, he played with my son while I rested. It is those little details that make an experience truly special.
I recommend this experience to everyone. The Merzouga desert is a magical place, but thanks to Ali everything was even more beautiful and authentic. His kindness, approachability, and dedication made this trip unforgettable. Thank you so much for making a memory come true that I will cherish forever!
