We had a really great 3 day trip with Youssef, who is without a doubt the most careful and attentive driver in Morocco! The stops along the way were great and filled with a lot of scenic picture opportunities. The hotel was much better than expected, cold, but nice. Nice fireplace in the bar too. The camel rides for both sunset and sunrise were peaceful and beautiful. The camp itself was well set up and well run. Youssef speaks great English and kept us informed about what to expect and provided us with very interesting cultural facts the whole journey. He handled the tricky roads like no one else on earth could have. Highly recommend this trip to solo, couples, and family travelers.

Being 3 days on the road through Maroc (from Marrakesh to Fes), you get to discover a different side of the country: nice places, istorical landmarks, kind people and unique experiences. Our driver Simo was very nice and always giving details about the place or the culture. The night spent in Sahara was also very interesting. The organizing team also did a fire in the camp and played local music. A must do while in Maroc.

Mohamed, our driver/guide, gave us a general overview of the trip and share many great insights into Morocco’s rich history & culture. Long drive, but it is worth it!!! Many scenic views, different topography, elevation, vegetation, and tribes!!! Great pictures, and the desert is one of a life experience.
