Desert Experience
The trip was a great experience, the desert is definitely worth a trip. The camel ride in the sunset is amazing, come hungry bc they serve a huge meal in the evening. The camp is very comfortable and provides also a shared bathroom.
But the best thing at all was our driver Abdessamad, who kept us save all the way there and back again. Always trying to make you feel comfortable and manages to meet all the needs of his passengers.
Hands up for our dear travel buddy.
Greetings,
The four ghazalas

Awesome desert tour with even more awesome driver/guide!
We had a great time thanks to our driver/guide Salah. He introduced us to Moroccan and African music and kept us entertained throughout our 2-day private dessert tour from Marrakech through the Atlas Mountain (highly recommended!). Salah is a very experienced driver and we felt safe throughout the exhilarating journey and really enjoyed the splendid sights. He made sure our needs are met and even helped us to book our train tickets for our next stop Fes. Meeting and interacting with some locals through him along the way also made our travel a lot more pleasant.

A Great Experience
A unique experience to go on a camel ride as my sister and I wanted to do. To get there was long, but stopping in several places along the way made the drive more interesting, not only to stretch our legs but to learn about the history and the film making. The culmination with the sunset and the sunrise the next day makes it totally worthwhile, unique and beautiful! The campground where we stayed was unique, clean and had the basic necessities. The food was great and the attentiveness to cultural details and entertainment was amazing! There was a full moon, music, and a bonfire which made the night unforgettable! Our tour guide, Musaffah (sp?) was entertaining and loved to photograph the experience. A very proud young man of his culture and his people! Do recommend if you want an unforgettable adventure.

Great way to see more of Morocco
Can’t really complain about anything. Our guide picked us up right on time at our riad in a Land Cruiser. Had a comfortable ride through the Atlas Mountains and made several stops along the way before arriving to Zagora for the camel ride. The camp and watching the sunrise the next morning is well worth seeing.
Abdul, the guide, was well experienced and knew every meter of the road between Marrakech and Zagora.

A unique experience
We had a fantastic time on this excursion! The camel ride plus desert camp was a totally unique experience. Our guides, particularly Mohammad, were extremely welcoming and helpful. A special mention also needs to go to our driver, Ahmed, he was very knowledgeable and cheery and could always tell when we needed a coffee!

Awesome tour and drive
Our driver Abdul was very friendly and knew a lot to tell about the Atlas Mountains, movie studios, the Moroccan desert and the route we took. The camel ride was a lot of fun and the camp was very nice!

Art de Cuivre through Jamal made this trip unforgetabble
Great trip from Marrakesh to the Sahara Desert where we spent the night and then back. Despite the long journey to and from, the trip was great and time flew by. Our tour guide Jamal did an excellent job. He was great at showing us the countryside and telling us all about so many interesting and beautiful sites and friendly people. We recommend it! Thanks, Jamal!

Fabulous time. Omar is wonderful
This trip is a must-do. Omar was our chauffeur and the van was very comfortable with AC. we stopped for photos, lunch and snacks along the way. He pointed out many interesting things. We were safe and well taken care of.
We arrived at the desert meeting point and then took the excursion by camel to the camp. Our guide for this portion at the camp was Mohammad. He was a kind man and took many photos of us along the way. He ensured we had a good tent, lots of food.
Back to Omar for the drive home. It’s a long drive but Omar pointed out many things to do.
Next time, the only thing I would change is not going to the Atlas movie studio. It was expensive and not included and not worth it.

2 Day Desert Tour
Excellent trip. We really enjoyed it from the start. Travelling from Marrakech it is a long drive but worth it as going from freezing Atlas Mountains to hot Sahara desert.
