フェズ砂漠ツアー2日1泊（Fez-Merzouga-Fez）

This tour was incredible. Absolutely the highlight of my trip. Every part was great and I felt so well taken care of. As a solo traveler that was especially important to me. I'm going to give a pretty through review here because I loved this so much and want to encourage everyone to book this. My driver Ebderrahmane, was absolutely amazing. He told us little bits of information all along the the drive making the whole experience feel like a bit of a guided tour. He knew all the good places along the way to stop that had nice clean bathrooms. At our last stop he even recommended picking up a small decorative bottle to fill with sand as a souvenir. I had not thought about that and I'm so glad he recommended it. Day 1: Drive to Merzouga: This drive is incredible. You get to see so much of the diverse landscape of Morocco. Our driver offered us the option to stop and see the monkeys or go more directly so we would be sure to catch the sun set. We decided to stop to see the monkey on the way back. So glad he offered that because we made with a colorable amount of time. The camel trek was not super long just enough to give you a feel of it and not get soar. We then climed a sand dune and watched the sun set from the top. **Do have money on you to tip the camel guide or buy one of their lovely fossils. I didn't have my wallet the other person in my group tipped him for both of us. The meal in the camp was lovely followed by music around the fire and then a short journey out of the camp to see the stars. I've never seen so many stars! The accommodations were nicer than I expected. Each room had a toilet, sink and small hand shower. Hot water is limited but there is some. The beds have plenty of warm blankets but if you come in the winter there is not heating so come prepared for that. The only thing I wish I'd packed was warmer socks for the night. (winter is honestly a great time to go) **Get yourself enough water for the evening and morning at the last stop on the drive. The camp does have some but it's just nice to have what you need with you. Day 2: Waking up to see the sun rise over the Sahara was amazing! We had a lovely breakfast in the camp before riding the camels be back to get in the car. We then had a really nice hour long tour of an old city where the royal family first lived. The guide was excellent and very informative. We arrived back in Fes in early evening. If you have any questions about your trip just call the organizer.

Conditions in the tents were really unbearable. If you went to the toilets there was no water to wash our hands which are the fundamental requirements for good hygiene that everyone has right to receive. My children could not even wash off the sand after the camel ride which of course made it uncomfortable to sleep. We also could not eat as the sand was all over our hands. It was so hot for us that we had to try to sleep outside which didn’t help much as we could not even rest due to the conditions after the long journey an extreme heat .we ran out of drinking water and no facility to get any more . It was like someone had left you in the dessert to survive by yourself Worried about snakes and scorpions For the amount we paid we shouldn’t have had to resort to sleeping outside in the desert . My daughters were so hot that my oldest daughter was suffering from hallucinations and both were excessively sweating in the morning. As well as this, our lips were swollen due to extreme dehydration. None of us slept all night due to the extreme heat which could have been resolved with a simple fan. For the amount of money that was paid, I feel like I definitely didn’t receive my money’s worth because even the Basic essentials were not provided. This is not an experience I would like to revisit or recommend to friends or family. Emailed to Viator they said sorry for your bad experience but we cant do any thing Will never use Viator again
