Tour with Jawad. Top! - Great experience! Jawad was a perfect organizer of this fantastic 3-day tour. We saw places of surreal beauty and experienced unforgettable emotions during the dromedary trek in the desert with overnight stay in a comfortable tent. Great dinners and breakfasts and nice evening around the post dinner fire. Also fantastic is the quad bike ride in the desert at dawn the following morning. The minibus driver was very professional and experienced. In conclusion all fantastic and perfect. Highly recommended!

The overall experience... - The overall experience was really good. We enjoyed all the activities that we did and the places we went to were nice. If youre planning to go, be sure that you will be spending a lot of time driving in the car, which can be exhausting at times. Unfortunately we had do return to Marrakech on our first day due to a snow storm in the Atlas Mountains. On the second day, we started driving and only then were informed about the change of route: we would now drive all the way to Agadir and back to Ouarzazate, so instead of 3.5 hours drive, it was now 8 hours without us knowing beforehand and being able to change our minds!!! No options to prepare for some food on the ride (lunch stop was only at 4:30pm)… After that, everything went more or less as planned and we had a great time. Instead of paying for the extra night in Marrakech, we were upgraded to the luxury camp in the desert and tbh everything felt a bit improvised and we were not instructed properly about what is going on. The things we saw, including monkeys in snow, were incredible but it all felt very unorganised.
