Reviews of the Merzouga Camel Trek 3 Nights:

We had an unforgettable experience doing a 4 day tour of the must-sees of Morocco. The camel trip and night stay in the desert was a definite favourite - the staff were so accommodating and friendly, especially Ali and Said who shared riddles and fun anecdotes with us after a night of dinner, dance and Berber music! Ali and his team really went above and beyond to make our friends trip as memorable as it became Thanks Ali and team!

It is a trip that we will remember forever, we had gone with friends for a birthday, we spent two nights in the desert and we wanted to stay longer. The first thing that surprised us was the carpeting, the decorations and the incredible tents with huge beds and everything inside. Then the quality and deliciousness of the abundant meals, views and walks that we will never forget, ATV, camels, getting to know the Berevere culture. We returned with the immense heart of sharing with the team of the place, music to dance with our whole being, conversations and we ended in the light of the stars making wishes with our friends and them, we were left with a special and unique bond forever. I am constantly recommending it, it is completely worth the trip.

It was a fantastic experience. Everything very well organized Ali is a spectacular Guide. Know the area and history perfectly. He knows how to spread the times very well. Time to count and time to be able to contemplate. Mustafa (driver) is another great Pro. It's been an incredible journey
