I booked a tour that didn’t say anything about camel riding. In the end my whole group (besides me) sat on one of those poor camels. After the group was back I checked on the camels to see their condition and was shocked about how sad and neglected they looked. The ropes were way to tight on their skin causing wounds :( I just don’t get how people can willingly support that suffering. Besides everything the Guide was friendly!
Nice guide, Do not expect a real sand desert, but cultivated sand fields The camel activity we didn't remember is still as deplorable for animals The meal served under marquee is good , 3 kinds of hot dishes and not 3 courses entree, dishes and dessert .. The note is mainly about the fire show which is really impressiveĺ and the sunset.
It is really highly recommended. The pick-up went well and Mourad took very good care of everyone. The food was arranged as a buffet and was really delicious. The fire show was also an absolute highlight. Clear recommendation!
Mourad was an excellent guide and was sure to check in with me to make sure everything was perfect. The highlight for me was the fire show. I’ve seen a lot of fire spinning over the years but this was quite good. Very skilled. Also this was a nice way to take a break from Marrakesh. Overall would recommend the experience
it was what they promised with friendly staff and very punctual pick up, the food was ok and the show of fire was very nice
Thanks to Mourad for his welcome. We had a great day and shared several fun moments between music, dance and fire show. The meal was also very hearty and very good.
very well organized mini bus air conditioned .the guide / responsible at the top of course on quad biking activities and camel ride at extra cost. but for 22 euros per person very good: transport, meals , music , show.
Great sunset view across the desert from the camp. The live music and fire show were great.really built the atmosphere. Our guide Rabie really looked after us during the meal and ensured we knew which dishes were suitable for vegetarians. Good communications prior to the trip ensuring we knew clearly which tour bus was the correct one was really helped as many white tour buses leaving at the same time to many different destinations!
Warm welcome, makes you want to come back I highly recommend. Very punctual. Good value for money. Customised organisation! Wonderful moments.

We had a great time, thank you to Mourad our host the Quad bike guide (didn’t get his name , sorry) but he helped us when we got stuck and swapped our quad for his when he realised ours wasn’t quite as responses as it should be. Thank you to Abdul the camel guide, very calm and gentle with his Camels -Aisha, Madonna and Isla, and he brilliant photography skills!
