It’s a long trip to go to the desert but worth it. Our guide and driver were both very nice and welcoming. The camel ride was very good and I really liked our camel guide too. The camp and atmosphere at night with the entertainment was very good too. Everything is thought for you and you can just let the guides take over for you. Keep in mind a lot of time is spent in the van getting to and from the main event which happens towards the end of day two. Just a disclaimer though that it is the desert, you are out in nature so curb your expectations accordingly. I would definitely recommend the deluxe experience even though I don’t know how the standard one was. Our tent and bathroom were sufficiently clean and warm. The food was okay in my opinion, do not expect city restaurant type food since it is the desert and they are doing their best but their hospitality is good. All in all I would highly recommend this if going to the Sahara is a wish list item for you.

Our driver Fawad and guide Ali organized all transport, rest stops and accomodations well. This is a good option if you want to cover various parts of the country, including the desert, mountains, and small towns along the way to learn about culture. The team took an interest in ensuring a smooth process, and explaining local sites and culture. The camel rides are worth the experience through the desert.

This is a three day trip around smaller towns and places in Morocco. You will hear a lot of history and way of life of different tribes. If you can retain everything that is great, but you might want to record some of the guides if you can't. The camel ride is about 45 minutes both ways to the camp. Otherwise you are in an air conditioned van between all of the locations. Get prepared for late dinners around 9ish pm as the trips take up a lot of the day. Buy a big jug of water and keep your water bottle filled or be prepared to buy smaller drinks when you stop. They always give a stop between longer drives just for bathroom stops and water / snack buys. Ali and Fawad were great tour guides a long the whole way. 10/10 would do again.
