If you are getting this package under 100 then I would say you will get value for the money

Mayurkumar_M, Dec 2025

Based on the price I will say you will get good value. I paid 80 euro for 3 days. Driver pickup was on time. I have noticed few things though on trip. It doesn't matter from where you book. they have internal system so at the end of the day they will collect bookings from everywhere so whole vehicle is filled and no seat remains empty. First night hotel was good. Camp in desert was ok as well but don't expect any luxury. people were distributed there based on from where they booked the tour. some of the guest where alone in entire desert camp. Food was ok but if possible I would suggest to pack something ready to eat with you. Also to not catch you on surprise most of the drivers on this route have commission based setting with hotel owners on the way so you are going to spend some extra money on lunch because you won't have choice on where you can have your lunch. Also I hope you will get good guide on Aït-Ben-Haddou ours was not much intrested in explaining the things and instead was more focused on selling things. Also we went in December and as its Africa we were expecting bit warmer weather but it was snowing heavily and dessert were quite cold. So please check weather and be prepared.
