Thanks to the flexibility of the tour we managed to try out everything - we rode quads through the dunes, watched the sunset on top of a dune, did sandboarding, rode camels and had a blast with the people at the camp that played some traditional music. The camp itself had everything one could need. The journey is a long one but broken down into two days you get to take it easy (with many frequent stops) and enjoy the landscapes on the way leading up to the desert. Aït Benhaddou is a…”

“Overall, the experience was amazing. Our driver/guide, Mounir, was very good, friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the trip. He definitely made the journey more enjoyable. The activity itself was great .The accommodation was comfortable, and having a hot shower was a big plus after a long day. The provided food quality was good, but unfortunately both lunch stops were too pricey and not worth the money for what was offered. In summary, great guide and comfortable stay, Totally recommended .”
