Great experience

Agathi_C, Apr 2024

The trip was great, highly recommended. We have stopped to see many places along the way, the first two days were great. Highlight was the camel ride to our tends in the dunes. Our driver Rachid was very friendly, helpful and explaining every bit of the trip. There is a lot of driving included, the third day was basically spent in the car but we were fully aware of this.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hello Agathi, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your 3-day Sahara Desert tour! We're delighted to hear that you had a great experience and would highly recommend it. It's wonderful to know that you enjoyed the variety of stops along the way and that the camel ride to the dunes was a highlight of your trip. We'll make sure to pass your kind words along to Rachid – he takes great pride in sharing his knowledge and ensuring every traveler feels welcome and informed. We truly appreciate your understanding about the travel time, especially on the third day. As you noted, covering the beautiful landscapes of Morocco does involve significant driving, but we're glad it didn't overshadow the positive moments. We hope to welcome you back someday for another adventure in Morocco! Warm regards, The MERZOUGA DUNES Team
