Really recommended. I went with my two teenagers , there were lots of stops where you see a lot and learn a lot. It’s a lot of driving and long days. Fantastic with the evening, riding in the desert, dinner and bonfire with music. Nice driver and everyone at the camp was great! Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of something unique!

A truly unique and incredible experience! The drive from Marrakesh was long, but several stops along the way made the time and miles pass quickly. A camel ride to the Berber camp during sunset was unforgettable, and the camp itself is highly recommended.

Nice experience but .. in the announcement other things to bring with you (such as money, glasses, etc.) and other details on the evolution of the activity (such as bus hours and the various stops made along the way, tips, etc.) were not specified. All very touristic for my style of travel, the camel ride lasted an hour, tent and service offered by the nice and welcoming Berbers, even the show after dinner. Good food (breakfast with packaged products). Nice guide but not with much knowledge beyond what the tour provides.

The activity was very pleasant and stimulating. The journey includes long stretches in minibus but the experience of the night in the desert is absolutely worth it.

It is truly an experience to live! Getting away from Marrakech to discover the villages and landscapes is already great. We had a very good driver and a comfortable mini bus. There are a lot of stops so the trip goes smoothly. The arrival at the camp by camels at sunset is magnificent. The camp is very good and there are all the comforts. The staff is lovely, really great!

It’s a really long drive, with some amazing sights on the way. Things to note: the driver is just a driver, and not a guide; the camel ride in the evening I found a bit too long at one hour and a half; Ouarzazate is not a stop in the itinerary (just a quick and useless photo op in front of the cinema studio, instead of visiting the kasbah). Otherwise, the camp experience is lovely and the drive through Atlas mountains is amazing.

The trip was fantastic. Great scenery all around and as advertised. The only part of the trip we wish could have been changed, in stead of the stop at some souvenir shop in Ouarzazate, we could have stopped at the Kasbah Taourirt. Otherwise, excellent

Amazing experience! Overnight under million of stars! Very well organized. The time spent in the bus might look a lot but when you arrive in the desert camp, it pays it back 🙂 don’t sleep in the bus, you will miss beautiful views! 5 am wake up for desert sunrise, priceless! Lovely dinner and breakfast.

The camel trek into the Sahara Desert was enjoyable, although the camp facilities were basic. Ait Ben Haddou kasbah was interesting, but the tour felt a bit rushed.

the overnight stay in the desert camp was a true highlight. Ait Ben Haddou kasbah was impressive, but I would have loved more time to explore. Overall, a fantastic experience.

The trek into the Sahara Desert on camelback was a surreal experience, and the guides made sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. The visit to Ait Ben Haddou was like stepping into a movie set, and the views of the Atlas Mountains left us speechless. Highly recommended!
