  We had a trip of a lifetime and would absolutely wholly recommend it to anyone else - especially if you have only booked to see Marrakech and need more to do. the journies were smooth - thanks to our friendly and kind bus driver Aziz and the air con made it very bearable ! we had a great stop too with a nice local guide on the way. the camel riding was memorable and you got a very long time with them. the local beber people were welcoming and dinner was excellent ! you felt immersed in their way of life. overall an incredible experience and one that will last for a very long time - it is also very very good value for money.

  Our driver Abdul was super. The desert something else - we were on a 3 day trip and I recommend paying for the upgrade in the Sahara!

  A truly remarkable experience. We travelled in mid June and the upside of it was that there were few people, our car tour was only us and another couple. The downside was that it was very warm and the aircon was not helpful enough in the car, however even though the heat was quite uncomfortable it was still manageable. We took the more expensive tour and we were very happy with our decision since our tents had windows so we managed to get some sleep during the night, in the other camp they had no windows or power in the tents and could not get any sleep because of the heat. Having our own shower was also pretty convenient. In terms of the whole experience we absolutely loved it - the visit to the Ait Benhaddou village with a guide, the camel trek, the visit to the Atlas studios where they were filming Gladiator 2 during our visit... the best thing without a doubt was the local people - berbers. They are so amazing, communicative and sharing their culture with the visitors, super hospitable and friendly, I highly encourage to chat them up as they have some incredible stories to tell. Sunset and sunrise were also amazing as well as the stargazing during the night. We didn't get much sleep during the whole trip but it was so worth it to stay up for it all. The only downside is that they rush you out right after 7am breakfast, so there is basically no time to shower after hiking the dunes to see the sunrise. Having said all of that I highly recommend this trip, however I would suggest to go April-May when the heat is not so tiring.

  Likes: Very good experience. Great chance to get to know Berber culture, architecture and way of living. Beautiful sights. Loved to see the sunrise in the desert. Very pleasant driver and camel aids. Dislikes: The guide in Aït Ben Haddou it is kind of imposed and not necessary. (You have to pay it extra). For the lunch meals you are taken to a specific place with over priced menus. It would be better to let you walk around and choose were to eat. The minibus is quite comfortable and with good AC. However it is a very long journey and very exhausting (but this is what it is. Just be prepared for it)

  Very good experience, recomend to everyone. It is what they describe, everyone was very helpful and friendly with us

  I wouldn’t recommend the upgrade to lux, it is not worth the price for what you get. We also spent the night with no power while the standard camp had power. Driver and guide were great though

  Great hospitality, great guide, awesome landscapes!Grand Atlas is massive, and wake up in the desert is special. Berbere from the camp are amazing people and will do everything to make you confortable!

  Great trip! All the way to Zagora desert and the in between stops. Yousseff, was a very kind and helpful driver/guide. Despite the long trip he drives very speedy and carefully. Felt very safe! Also thumbs up to Said, the guide at Ain Benhaddou, and the guys at the camel ride and berber tent, everyone was really good. Good time management also made the trip efficient. Pick up was quick and easy and always left on time. Overall great!

  Anyone who gives this less than 5 stars is out of their mind. Everything from the drive, to the towns, camels, and camp were mind blowing. Mohammad, our driver was so kind and did everything he could to make the drive as smooth as it could be. A/C was mild, but open windows did the job. The stops were great, fun and educational. Bring extra cash for lunch and tip the tour guides and camp staff. Camel ride was fun. Yousif was our guide and he was very fun and friendly. He took amazing pictures of us in the desert. The camp was very beautiful, and the food was great! Sure it’s less than a mile from the highway but you’re CAMPING IN THE SAHARA DESERT!! Once and a life time excursion for less than $100. All in all I’d do it again and recommend it to anyone!
