Fun experience

Being in the desert was super fun and enjoyable. However overall our group agreed it was not a 5 star experience. The breakfast was not amazing, it was stale bread and warm yogurt. It was a long drive which we knew and was advertised. However the stops along the way felt very touristy and the guides got commission for taking us to more expensive places. Our guide Musti was great, very friendly and helpful, making sure we were taken care of. It was a cool experience but more touristy than expected, spending more money along the way than advertised. Also at the end of our tour our groups phones were all taken and they tried to make a 5 star review themselves.

Adventurous

Good vibes with friends, but overall this felt pretty tourist trappy. There were a ton of stops along the way where they pushed overpriced restaurants, coffee, and snacks — way more expensive than what we paid elsewhere in Morocco. At the end, the guy asking for review also pressured us to leave a 5-star review and even tried taking our phone to “do it for us,” which felt uncomfortable. The breakfast “included” was also pretty mid. Just a few slices of bread and warm yogurt Not a terrible experience, but definitely felt very focused on getting extra money from tourists.

Beyond expectation trip

Had a great day that was completely taken care of by Mustafa and his team. The drive to Zagora is beautiful and the overnight stay in the tents has been very pleasant. They have done their best to provide us with all the comforts and make us feel at home there. Definitely a recommendation for those who want to both dive into the culture and enjoy activities.
