Night in the dunes in Merzouga
A great experience to do at least once, we loved the crossing of the dunes on camelback, the musical evening around the fire. Very hard bedding.

Three days at Riad Camel House
We spent two nights at Riad Camel House and the last one at the desert camp. There were two adults and two girls, one 7 and the other 10 years old.
A spectacular experience! The pool was great, the treatment from the owner and his team was very familiar and affectionate. They were very attentive to the girls and we left delighted!
We also did quads and had a great time!
We recommend without a doubt the complete experience they offer, ideal for families. Thank you very much for leaving us with such a good memory 💕

Sand to the stars.
Unforgettable experience in the Merzouga desert. Our bivouac in the desert was simply magical. After a camel ride of about 45 minutes, we reached the camp in the middle of the golden dunes to watch the sunset with a cup of tea. Our guide and the cook served us a hearty Berber tagine. We were able to enjoy an evening around the fire.
Sleeping in a tent in the desert is a great experience. We were only two couples. I recommend this bivouac to live a moment of authenticity.
Back in the morning at camel house for a breakfast buffet and a good hot shower.
Thanks to Mohamed for his support.

Camp dromedarios
I went with a friend and we were late to arrive because we took a taxi, they did everything possible to make us feel good, they picked us up at night and the next day they took us for a dromedary ride since the day before we did not have time, they gave us breakfast and took us to the airport of Fez. The food was super delicious and all of them treated us super great, everything was excellent with exceptional treatment. I will definitely go back and bring more people. ✨

Exceptional experience in the heart of the dunes
Beautiful landscapes in the dunes. The camel hike in the dunes to reach our camp plunged us into the desert fairy tale. The welcome was very comfortable with a welcome tea served at the top of one. Our guide, and cooking it were adorable. We spent an exceptional evening, a homemade tagine was served warm in a dining tent, then we were allowed traditional music around a campfire. Night slept very well, under big blankets because the night was a little cool. We were able to admire the sunrise, and the breathtaking view of the dunes before eating a great breakfast (pancakes and omelets cooked on site), then leaving with a camel.
Exceptional memories for children and adults alike.

Great Host
Mohamed was a great host. He gave us a great time accomodating for our needs.
Taking us to the camp even though we turned up much later than the others in the group.
The camp was what I expected for such a great price.
All was included in the price.
Would recomend Mohamed for a great experiance in the desert.
