I enjoyed the tour very much! It was indeed a lot of time in the van, but it was expected since the Sahara Desert was very far away. Our tour was full, so there wasn't any empty seat or space to stretch out, making it a bit hard. It is still comfy enough however. Our driver HIMMA was fantastic. His driving was stable and safe. When we asked him questions, he gave us honest opinion and suggestions and not just about up-sell. He was professional, friendly, and extremely helpful throughout the trip. Thank you, HIMMA! If there is space available and you can afford it, absolutely go for the luxury tent option. The hour-long camel ride allowed us to see Sarah sunset on the way out and sunrise on the return. The tent was much better compared to the basic tent. Don't wait until you are there for last-minute upgrade as they may not be able to arrange camels for that, which happened to some in my group. The restaurants they took us to along the way were very good, too. Food tasted delicious!

Well organized and for a very reasonable price, highly recommend! It was 12 of us and we were driving in a spacious van, the guide was really friendly, be prepared that you will spend a lot of time in the car but its surely worth it, we stopped several times to enjoy the views, take nice pics, for food etc. Sahara was definitely the highlight of the tour but if you are travelling during the cold months, it can get pretty cold there. The tent though was really luxurious with a private toilet, shower and many blankets.

It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. Mohamed made e sure we were happy, safe and enjoy our tour to be the maximum. I very very much recommend this guide as the best I ever had 8n the many tours around the world we have taken. Morocco is a incredible county for it's diversity, beauty and friendly people. We loved our trip there and inshallah we'll be back soon.

It was an amazing 3-day trip with our very supportive and kind driver/tour guide, Hussain. The trip was well organized and Hussain always makes sure we enjoy the trip at maximum level.

You get to see all the attractions- don't worry about the long drives, there are plenty of stops to break it up.
