Plenty of pleasant surprises and full of fun!!!

My 7 year old son, wife, and I had an outstanding time on this tour. Our guide, Mohamed, was prompt, punctual, and a real joy to drive us. He played awesome music as we cruised through the High Atlas Mountains and through the desert. He even played soccer with my soccer addicted 7 year old son who loved the experience!! All the stops were rewarding, even those we didn’t anticipate like the movie studios. I highly recommend this trip and Mohamed as a guide!

Great experience!

We took a group tour but in the end there were only 2 of us! It was great! The driver added us stops! He gave us lots of information! I had a crush on the guest house for the first night. Camping in the desert was great! Don’t expect to be in a sea of sand but there are still real dunes! An experience GREAT!!!

Three days full of impressions – recommended!

We went on a three-day tour, with two nights, one in Ouarzazate and one in the desert camp. Our driver, Mohamed Talaoul, picked us up on time in Marrakech. He was extremely helpful, especially with luggage, and a very experienced and safe driver. Mohamed made stops at particularly beautiful viewpoints on request, so we could enjoy the impressive scenery again and again on the way. About every hour or two we took short breaks of about 20 minutes, and at lunchtime we took a longer break of about an hour each. Mohamed was always trying to make our stay as pleasant as possible. When my mother didn't want to ride the dromedary to camp, he organized the ride for her by car. A great Service! The accommodations were well equipped, and the staff everywhere very friendly. Especially nice was our camel guide Yusef, all camel guides were very warm and accommodating. Overall, it was an all-round successful, pleasant and well-organized trip. We can highly recommend the tour with Mohamed!
