Everything went very well. On the way to the Mezourga desert we stopped at several points to take photos and learn a little about the cities and culture. In the desert the activities were incredible. I recommend choosing the 4x4 as it is really worth it. We walked through the dunes which was super super fun. The trip to the camp also went really well. The walk on the dromedary was better than I expected, they are animals that are well cared for and are very calm and super docile. At the camp, the interaction between different people of different nationalities was very interesting and fun and with all this helping our guides always cheer up. It was excellent. A special thanks and excellent recommendation to our guide during the trip, Mohamed, who was excellent with us, and an excellent driver.

My friends and I had an amazing two-day desert trip with Abdelaali. He made sure we had an incredible time, taking care of every detail. Abdelaali's friendly nature made the trip unforgettable. From camel rides to stunning sunsets, it was an adventure we'll never forget. If you're thinking about a desert excursion, go with Abdelaali. It's totally worth it!

We had an amazing 2 day trip to the Zagora desert. It was an experience like no other and would recommend to anyone visiting Marrakech. We loved our camel ride during the sunset and the morning sunrise. Our driver, Abdelaali, was excellent, really friendly and chatty and gave us extra information about the cities we passed. He knew good locations to stop and take pictures of the beautiful scenery. The car was comfortable for the long drive and there were regular stops along the way for refreshments and bathroom breaks. I would recommend bringing an additional 600MAD (€60) cash for the 2 day trip for 2 people as lunch is around 130MAD per person each day (not including refreshments along the way like water/coffee/snacks) you have to pay for the tour guides (30-80MAD) and at some places they do not take card payments. The prices felt very reasonable and would be good to have extra cash as tips. If you would like to buy a good quality head scarf for the desert, that's an additional 230MAD each which we did purchase with card. We would also recommend getting 1.5L bottle of water at your last stop as it is difficult to get at the camp.
