MAGICAL.
If you get the chance to visit the Sahara, Merzouga is lovely. We stayed in a private luxury camp and felt like we were in a Hollywood movie! Simply spectacular.

Worth it.
We booked 3 days sahara tour and It was quite fun to have a camel ride and not corny at all . We also did a jeep tour that stopped us at a tent of berber nomads in Erg EChaabi where we had moroccan tea. That was quite coool.

Must see.
Three days to Merzouga is The best trip we had in Morocco. You can see all the country on your way.You can meet the small towns and people who live there. It’s a different world than Marrakesh especially Erg Echaabi The best time we spent. Thanks the team.

We did it and sure we gonna come back.
It was a childhood dream came true.. seeing the beautiful magical Sahara 🐫… we arrived there right at the sunset and it was one of the most beautiful things I have seen. However the camping drums fire and the local band were all an experience of a life time.. must do it and highly recommended this company.

First experience.
We booked our 3 days desert trip with camels in our riad meriem. They were fantastic! Watching the sunset and sunrise, sand boarding and driving a quad, playing drums and dancing after dinner in the desert was something to remember for life.
