Recommendations
The guides, at least the ones we had, are here for you. Punctual and willing to help. The folks who were here appeared to be the first people we'd encountered in Morocco who didn't want anything from you except for you to have a good time.
They were quite helpful in negotiating with local merchants on the way to the tour. They showed us any interesting places and skipped the ones that other firms could find less interesting. Because the clerk didn't have change for me, Muhammad even paid for my water from one vendor.
Throughout the voyage, he declined the little sum of money. I tried and tried till I understood he's really here for our enjoyment.
The tents themselves were beautiful when we arrived. For a moist ground, this is quite nice. The entire thing was a lot of fun, especially with the employees singing and dancing. The meal was excellent, and the service was exceptional.
There was a new man working there who had just been there for two months. He was my personal favorite. For us to learn more about the Sahara, the kindest, loveliest, and finest English is required. Overall, a positive experience with a knowledgeable staff.

5/5
We were planning a vacation to Morocco and wanted to see the country in its "natural" state.
We booked our trip and hoped for the best, as did everyone else. Said Nogot, our driver, took us up from the hotel and we began our journey into the desert.
Said was fantastic; he took us to several locations and made stops at clean eateries and restrooms.
We traveled to the valley and slept in a very tranquil and comfortable motel for the night. The following day, we began with a tour to the gorge, which was breathtaking.
The night in the desert, of course, was the highlight. We arrived at the camp after a leisurely camel ride and were greeted by a luxurious camp ground. The prepared dishes were all delicious.
