A trip in the trip - I appreciated so much all the stops before arriving to the desert, especially Ait Ben Haddou and the Gauges of Todra. The trip is organized well and we had a wonderful driver (Mousti) who answered all our questions about Morocco.

Memorable trip to the dessert - Great experience and very thoughtful organisation of the trip which was full of sightseeings and breathtaking views. I enjoyed in every acitivity, but what thrilled me the most was the dessert and night spent in tents in Sahara with local people who were warm, welcoming and friendly. They familiarized us with their customs, habbits and everyday life. They also made a show which included our dancing around the fireplace and playing traditional instruments. Mustafa, who had been our chaperon during the whole trip, was not just funny, entertaining and helpful, but also confident and safe driver, although the roads were not always the best. The way was long, but all the stops were perfectly planned, according to the group's needs. It is a trip I would highly recommend, as it will always be the best memory of the time I spent in Morroco.

Geweldig - Really good trip, Camel ride was fun but it was good that the Camel ride back wasnt as long as the first one. The camp was really luxruious with a tent per couple which had electricity, lighting, and enough space. However, the camp and ride werent exactly in the Sahara desert. Lastly, everyone from the organisation was super friendly and helpful.
