Real experiences from real travelers
The 3-day tour from Marrakech to Fes was incredible. The camel trek at sunset in Merzouga is something I will never forget. Booked through this site and everything was seamless.
We did the overnight trek from Merzouga. The Berber camp was more comfortable than expected and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the luxury option!
The Erg Chebbi dunes are massive! Riding the camel is a bit of a workout for your legs, but the view from the top of the dunes is worth every second.
Our guide was so knowledgeable about the desert history. The drumming session by the fire was the highlight of the night. Very well organized.
If you love photography, the night sky in the Sahara is unbeatable. The logistics were handled perfectly by the operator we found here.
For under $100, the overnight camel trek is a steal. Just be prepared for the cold nights in winter!
The silence of the desert at night is something everyone should experience. Our luxury tent was beautiful and very clean.
Don't hesitate, just book it. The sandboarding was fun and the camel ride was iconic. The SUV transport from Marrakech was very comfortable.
