Super memorable!
Definitely worth the money! Ahmed was a terrific driver and took us to tons of interesting places we never would’ve thought to explore. The camel ride to the camp was definitely a highlight, and the guides there were incredibly friendly and accommodating.

Beyond what we expected! An absolute must!
This trip is a must.
Our tour guide, Hamid, picked us up and took us on the very long drive to the desert. He was super friendly and accommodating for toilet and refreshment stops.
Once we got to the desert the camels were a really fun experience. And our guides took us to the top of a dune to watch the sunset which was breath taking.
The camp itself was beyond what we expected. Food was excellent and the stay was comfy enough. The toilet and shower facilities were clean.
Breakfast in the morning was what we needed and then we got to watch the incredible sunrise.
All in all an incredible, well worth the money experience. The drive is long so be prepared but it was so worth it for the desert experience.

Unforgettable experience!
What an incredible trip. We are absolutely floored by the amazing time that we had on our overnight trip at the Berber camp. We bonded quickly with our driver, Omar, and our guide, Mustapha (nicknamed appropriately by us Canadians as “Moose”). They were two of the most amazing people we have met in our travels. The 6 hour drive felt like nothing with the two of them blasting music and teaching us many things about Morocco. When we arrived in Zagora, we were met with the camels and a magical sunset ride to the Berber camp. We were greeted warmly with tea and nuts, and shortly after enjoyed a huge dinner and local music. After a comfortable sleep in a Berber tent, we awoke to eat breakfast and watch the sunrise before our return on camel to the meeting place for our ride back to Marrakech. Although all of our experiences on this excursion were truly amazing, they would not have been the same without our two amazing companions. Art De Cuivre Travel is truly lucky to have these two men on board. We felt like we were saying goodbye to family as they dropped us off at the airport. Thanks again for the one of a kind experience, we will never forget it.

Amazing!
It was such an amazing experience! The staff were very nice and inclusive. They made sure everyone felt included and comfortable! We were, at first, terrified of riding the camels but with their assistance we felt very comfortable riding them. The tent area was very nice and safe. The morning view of the sun at the top of the sand dune was jaw-dropping and just gorgeous! We would definitely come back and do their 2+ day tour.

A truly amazing experience
It was a great experience. Easy to communicate with the agency, very experienced driver that made us feel safe on what seemed a very dangerous road. We had a great guide at Ait Ben Haddou that provided a lot of details about the site and gave us enough time to take photos and relax after climbing. Beautiful camel ride at sunset, the tents are very comfortable with 2 beds. Had a nice dinner followed by a great campfire with music and dancing with the locals. Next day we had another camel ride after sunrise and a smooth ride home with another stop at a cinematography museum, lunch and time to enjoy the trip. Highly recommend this trip!

Two wonderful days in the dessert
We spent two wonderful days with Abdou our tour guide and driver. Abdou was extremly friendly and funny. You could feel his pleasure to explain to us all kind of things about Marroco, Beber, nature, culture, food and many things more. He knows a lot and if he does not know something he looks for informations and other people. He explains very well. His french is perfect. He took time to show us things and we made many stops.

Trip of a lifetime with amazing guide (Said)
It’s a long journey, so be prepared, however, we had the most amazing, friendly guide who made it all go by quickly and was a lot of fun!
Said was our guide. He was very willing to chat to us and give us information along the journey. His English is great and we had a laugh with him! We would definitely recommend him as a guide, as the experience without him would have been really different.

Great Experience
We had a wonderful trip with our driver Omar to Zagora and the desert. Omar is a very save driver and pleasant company. The stay in the camp in the desert was so great! In stead of sleeping in the tent we chose to sleep under the stars! Magical!

Amazing Trip!!!
So, I’ll start this review by listing a few things that may affect someone’s trip but had absolutely no influence on our time:
1) The roads are a bit winding so if someone has motion sickness they may want to take some medicine.
2) At the campsite they have very good washing facilities but they ran out of towels so I had to use a t-shirt I had.
3) The tour does say private but we had two other people in our van which actually made it more fun. We all became good friends after this trip.
Now, for the actual trip itself I don’t think I can say enough positive things. Our driver Ibrahim was very efficient and safe. He had a knack for getting us everywhere before all of the other tour groups so we never waited in line. He was also extremely helpful and kind. I made the mistake of not bringing cash and he instantly offered to lend me anything I needed.
The camel ride was amazing and the campsite was even more amazing. The tents were well kept, the food was delicious, and the entertainment was amazing to watch. There was even a full on dance party that broke out during the music. Watching the sunrise in the morning was absolutely breathtaking. You had to climb a little bit to see it but it was well worth it.
On the ride back we stopped at an old castle which I would highly suggest paying the $2 to visit and walk around in. After that we stopped at Atlas Studios which filmed many amazing movies. I would also suggest paying the $8 to walk around. Especially if you are a fan of cinema.
All in all this two day excursion was one of the highlights of our trip to Morocco and I would have no problem recommending it to friends.

Experience!
This tour was beyond my expectations. We were able to experience all aspects of the Moroccan culture. Amazing cities, great Tagin, the Sahara desert, the Aspen mountains and historical architecture. My favorite part of the tour were the camel rides through the Sahara and staying overnight in the Berber camp. Our guide, Mohammed, was so kind, accommodating and personable. His love for his country was evident and shined through during our time with him. Being women traveling in a foreign country can be intimidating but Mohammed made us feel safe and welcomed. He let us experience little gems such as watching the sunrise while at the Berber camp and showing us where Game of Thrones episodes have been filmed. I am so in awe and grateful to have had this experience. Thank you, Mohammed!
