Our guide Mokhtar was very friendly and knowledgeable. The desert is quite busy but the camel ride is great and you end up at a lovely spot to watch the sunset. Overall this is a great experience.

The Perfect Desert Experience

This was THE best experience my mother and I had while in Morocco. A camel ride followed with a traditional Moroccan snack while watching the sunset in the desert. The guides were very attentive and made this trip absolutely unforgettable.
