Memorable and authentic experience.  - Our guide was Ismail and he is very charismatic, friendly, and organized. We had a lot of fun exploring the charming Ait Ben Hadou village, although it would’ve been nice... read more to have more time. It was still enough though.

The camel ride was enjoyable because it’s very different from riding a horse and it’s also beautiful as they make sure to take you during sunset. After the sun sets, we arrived just on time to our Berber camp (the people indigenous to Morocco). There, they treated us to an epic tagine, good company, and Berber music around the fire. We finished the night with star gazing before sleeping in a luxury tent (compared to regular camping ofc). The next morning, it’s mostly driving back except for a very enjoyable lunch on a balcony with mountains hovering over you. I’m glad we did it and next time will probably do a 3-4 day trip.

Disclaimers you should know:
1. it’s a LOT of driving about 6 hours each day total. The first day is broken up with stops to a mountainside cafe, a town that’s been around since the 12th century and where they filmed many famous movies including the gladiator.

2. The camel ride is a lot of fun but be warned that the dunes are pretty small since we only get to the tip of the Sahara desert. If you want to get deep into the desert, you have to do a 3 or 4 day trip.

3. Bring layers if you’re going in the winter cuz it cools down a lot. I wore two layers of pants and two sweatshirts. I recommend a hat and gloves too.

Girl’s trip - We went on a 2 days tour from Marrakech to Zagora desert, and it was an amazing experience! Really recommend it. It should be in your bucket list.
Ismail is... read more a very nice guy, always smiling, sociable and likes to explain the information about cities and Moroccan culture. He is a really good driver and very respectful.
On the first day, we passed through the Atlas in direction to Ait-Ben-Haddou, where we had a tour visit with Said to know a little bit more about berbere culture. We ate an amazing chicken tagine there. Then we head to Zagora, where we had a team of Caravane du sud waiting for us with the dromedaries. We had a 1h ride on the dromedary accompanied by our friendly guide, Mohammed, to our camp. We arrived just on time to watch a magical sunset in the desert. We chose a luxury camp, that was absolutely amazing, with a tent with all the commodities that we could need. The tent was heated, with carpets on the floor, beds for all of us, and private toilets with shower. We had dinner on a tent restaurant, with really good and traditional food. At night all the guests reunited around the bonfire listening typical music and dancing. The sky is absolutely amazing and perfect to see the stars. On the next day we watched the sunrise in the mountains (after a nice breakfast). Then we returned with Ismail back to Marrakech, with a stop in Ouarzazate and Middle Atlas.
Ismail was a really nice company, and made this experience unique! I felt very safe during the trip, and Ismail always let us comfortable to choose which places to visit during the trip.
All the organization made this experience even more pleasant. It was also richer to know more about Moroccan culture and discuss the differences between European culture.
Really recommend this experience.

p.s. just be careful riding the dromedary.

Amazing experience  - Hussain was the best driver - AFRICA MAMA ???? merci! So many incredible stops along the way, and the camel ride was a bucket list item.

Highly recommend!  - Very well organised tour, with lots of stops so we didn't get tired of driving for too long. Very well thought in terms of getting to toilet breaks, atms, snacks... read more etc. Camping in the desert was amazing - I recommend the luxury camp. Our guide Youssef was very fun and knowledgeable and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed! An experience of a lifetime.

great  - Here’s a positive review for Houssine in English:

We joined a three-day, two-night tour of the Sahara Desert, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. Houssine was an outstanding... read more guide—professional, friendly, and incredibly attentive to every detail. From organizing the itinerary to ensuring our comfort, everything was perfectly arranged.

Houssine’s knowledge of the local culture and history was impressive, and he was always happy to answer our questions, helping us gain a deeper understanding of the Sahara’s unique charm. Some highlights included watching the sunrise while riding camels, stargazing under the vast desert sky, and enjoying an authentic meal prepared right in the desert.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable Sahara Desert adventure, we highly recommend Houssine. He made us feel safe, comfortable, and left us with wonderful memories. Thank you, Houssine!

3 amazing days in the desert - I loved how the camels and the outfit combine to generate a fun immersive desert-life experience. From all the stops made along the way to the desert to the actual... read more camp itself it was a fun experience all around.
