Driss, our driver, was amazing!! Very friendly and helpful. Answered all our questions with great professionalism and was kind and generous, giving us the best experience :). While the journey is long it is definitely worth it, I would still choose to do 2 day rather than 3 day as I don’t think you really need to stop overnight, at least in summer (I do feel bad for the driver working so hard though). We stopped at a small cafe, mountain pass, argan/honey producer where we sampled products for free, delicious lunch and passed through many beautiful sites like the valley of roses. The camel ride was extremely fun. I hope the camels were treated well, they seemed happy and in good health. We spent good amount of time on the dune and watched sunset. Generous dinner, fun fire show and sleeping was fairly comfortable in upgraded tent (no AC though). Second day good breakfast. We did 1.5 hour tour in Rissani, stopped at baby camels, good lunch and more on the way to fes :) thank you Driss!
