Beautiful experience that I recommend to everyone! - I was a little worried because I am suspicious by nature and I thought I would be bored for 3 days having to trust super prepared descriptions but I must say that I highly recommend everyone to take a tour like this with Marrakech Camel Trips. They are wonderful people, my driver Mohammed immediately proved to be a real khoya (brother), he taught me a lot about the Moroccan Arabic language, the Berber language and more... he often advised me on how to behave in certain places and with certain people, he showed me beautiful places, beautiful places even not described in the tour and he also recommended me very good restaurants giving me a bit of a discount. They made me feel at home, they included me in their group even in the magical desert (to say magical and not much). I can't describe here everything I did but I can only say that if I could I would have done this tour for 10-20 days or even a month because the emotions you feel are indescribable. The Berbers are a wonderful people, being part of them playing and singing with the drums, laughing and joking with them and listening to their stories until late at night is even more so. Choukran khoya, see you soon inshalla Ant al afdal!!!!

A wonderful experience of life and cultures - We relied on this company after multiple emails and contacts with various agencies, finding a good price here, and the only one to directly offer us the standard accommodation /lucury camp combination. We were tempted by the solo trip, but since it was our first time in Morocco, and still wanting to know a little about its history, get information and be on the safe side, we opted for the 4x4 tour with the guide. Wonderful tour for the landscapes, the colors, the experience of the desert, the Berber fields. Super helpful guide, Alì (Berber born in the desert) always explained the program to us, giving us the possibility of choice and the possibility of leisure/freedom in everything. Help yourself contact the return hotel in Marrakech, precise in times, friendly and prepared for every question. With maximum availability (and aided by Alì's stories), we added an extra night in the desert camp to the last one, instead of returning after the first night, thus getting to know the Berber tents, the landscapes around the desert, and finally Alì hosted us to his house to live the typical experience in their homes, eating the typical couscous cooked by his wife sitting on the floor, and the Berber pizza, which I have never found elsewhere, and spending a few moments with his children who brought us to see the animals and played with us, even though we couldn't understand each other with the language. We had already paid for the night in Marrakech, but deciding to stay an extra day there to have this experience was absolutely worth it. To conclude, Alì recommended places to visit in Marrakech, without having to rely on guides, and asked us when we had our return flight, so that he could take us to the airport if he was free or if he had heard from some of his friends. Our trip ended with Alì, almost a new friend, who accompanied us to the airport without having to rely on taxis or shuttles. A beautiful trip and a wonderful experience that we highly recommend.

Fantastic trip to the Merzouga Desert - From the first moment everything was very well organized, even before arriving we were already in contact and everything we asked was answered quickly by WhatsApp. They waited for us at the airport to take us to the hotel, and after the hotel we went to the Merzouga desert, through the high atlas, visiting the important areas, Todra gorges, Argan oil cooperative, valley of roses, Dades valley. Once in the desert we stayed at the camp but not before doing the tour with the camels to reach the Camel Trips Luxury Camp, where we ate the best tajin so far. In all the places we have visited, both hotels and visits, they have treated us very well, we have had guides who knew the area perfectly and a driver who is the best knowledgeable about the area, Ali Barros, a friend that we left there for when we return with more time.

Wonderful experience - We did the three day trip from Marrakech to the Merzouga desert and it was all fantastic. Thanks to the careful and calm driving of our guide Ali, the journey was spectacular. Ali always gave us excellent advice, without ever imposing any stage on us. His explanations were always very interesting and clear and he led us to discover the Berber culture. Both the hotel in Dades (standard option) and the tent in the desert (Luxury option, with private bathroom) were more than satisfactory. Thanks to Brahim and Ali who were both always very available to satisfy our every request, and even more!! We absolutely recommend everyone to choose Marrakech Camel Trips for unique desert excursions.

Unforgettable experience. - It was an amazing 3 days in the company of a fantastic guide named Lhoucine who was impeccable in everything. He explained to us everything we saw and that intrigued us. Always attentive to our needs and our comfort both in driving and in choosing breaks. In addition to his professionalism, he managed to enter our hearts for his kindness and his passion for his work. Thanks for everything Lhoucine. I will recommend your precious guide to anyone who wants to have a great experience in Morocco. Thanks also go to the guys from the camp (Youssef, Mohamed 1, Mohamed 2, Mousfafa, Said and Hassan) for giving us an unforgettable evening full of surprises, good food and wonderful conversations and cultural exchanges in front of a bonfire under a starry sky . Thanks so much, see you soon!

Unforgettable experience to do at least once in a lifetime! - We did the 3 day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga, it was a truly fantastic experience! Lhoucine accompanied us every day with great enthusiasm and availability, it is thanks to him that we managed to enter the beating heart of Morocco. What was the best moment of the tour? Definitely the night in the desert, after arriving on the camel at our campsite, all the staff welcomed and pampered us. After a dinner that was nothing short of sublime, we sang, played and talked all evening with the kids. Thank you so much to all the staff for the exciting, authentic and unforgettable experience. I recommend everyone to take part in this experience!

Merzouga desert is WoW!! - The tour was so beautiful! You get to know Morocco in 3 days. Beautiful views. The Merzouga dessert was the highlight of the trip. You can ask the driver for the right addresses to buy herbs, dates, etc. The driver was an excellent driver 😀

5 days from Marrakech to Merzouga with Ali. - We spent 5 days on tour from Marrakech to the dessert. It was an amazing experience guided by Ali who was at all times aware that we were as comfortable as possible. Moreover, we would also like to highlight the day in the dessert, where all the guys in the camp were very helpful and we could learn a lot about their culture. In summary, we highly recommend the experience with them.
