We went on a four-day car ride across the mountains to reach the Sahara- Erg Chebbi near Mezourga. Everything in the tour was well planned and organized, we found each hotel suitable for a family of four and comfortable. Our guide gave us a great, but yet comprehensible, amount of information about each village, the uses of nomads, Berber culture and more! Despite the long distances, we haven't had a single reason to complain for the driver had meticulously planned each stop in a range of 15-20 minutes ( so we were fully able to stretch our legs, use washroom, take a stroll in the place and maybe some pictures and then continue the journey) . Moreover our driver and guide, Khalid, made this trip even more enjoyable with his friendly, caring and yet very professional attitude. We would suggest customers to stay three nights in order not to rush on their way back . It was overall worth the price and we highly recommend it .

We had an excellent experience with our guide Mohamed; he is very friendly and knowledgeable and told us a lot about local culture. He was flexible with the itinerary and brought us to some authentic places that we wouldn't have come across as tourists on our own. The Riad's there were booked for us were all very comfortable and the staff very welcoming and helpful. The transport vehicle was also comfortable and had AC :)

Mohamed with Camel Safari Morocco was awesome. Rather than following a strict itinerary, we just gave him our vision for how we wanted to spend our time, and he made it happen. Guides for private hiking, spending our third night in the desert rather than splitting the ride back, he was so flexible and so thoughtful. And, he was an excellent conversationist, explaining so much about the culture, his own life, and the places and things we were seeing. We will recommend him to all of our friends visiting Morocco and the desert!
