Traveler reviews
Nice Driver, But Poor Organisation
The driver was very nice and helpful, but overall the tour was a little disappointing. The accommodation and food were below our expectations, especially considering we paid extra for the upgraded package. The organisation could also be improved, as we had to wait a long time before the camel ride, which meant most of the experience happened after dark. The driver was great, but the accommodation, food and overall arrangement could definitely be better.
We took a tour of...
We took a three-day tour in Morocco with one night in the desert, and it was a truly wonderful experience. The day spent in the desert was simply fantastic. We chose to upgrade to the Luxury camp, with a private bathroom in the room, and it was absolutely worth it. The accommodation was very beautiful and the atmosphere in the camp was special, especially in the evening, with the Berbers playing around the fire. A truly evocative and authentic moment. The camel experience was also beautiful, which allowed us to experience the desert in a unique way. We also added the sunrise quad bike excursion: an exciting experience that is an absolute must-try, especially for the spectacle of the sun rising over the dunes. The only negative note concerns the hotel on the first day, which we found rather dirty and with some problems inside the bathroom. It is mainly for this reason that we are awarding 4 stars instead of 5. A special mention, however, goes to our driver Hicham, who truly deserves all the stars in this review. He was excellent, always available and attentive to our every need. He accommodated our every request, proving to be an excellent driver but, above all, a truly kind, helpful, and professional person. Overall, it was a beautiful experience, which we absolutely recommend to anyone who wants to experience the Moroccan desert in an authentic and unforgettable way. And if you are lucky enough to have Hicham as your driver, you will certainly be in excellent hands!
