We reserved a two-day, one-night tour to Zagora. Our driver was fantastic! He was quite pleasant and helpful. The minivan was fantastic, and the desert camp was fantastic! The guide in Ait Ben Haddou's Kasbah was very pleasant. The berbers in the camp were quite kind, and the cuisine was delicious. breakfast and supper Everything was beautiful, including the music playing next to the fire. and took a camel ride at sunrise and sunset. Prepare some money to tip everyone. It had all been worthwhile! This business comes highly recommended by me.

5/5
We booked a four-day tour and were fortunate enough to have Omar as our guide and driver. With two full days in the desert and another two days travelling through the Atlas Mountains and Ouazarzate, the tour was fantastic. Omar was a fantastic tour guide who was both patient and professional. I couldn't have asked for anything more and would strongly suggest this firm to anyone interested in experiencing the real Sahara desert!
