Wonderful Zagora Desert Excursion Experience - My experience on this excursion was very excellent. Wow where to start, first off my organizer Mehdi was very informative and helpful getting the excursion organized. He was very timely with his responses and thorough in his explanations. On the day of the excursion, we were escorted by our driver Abdul for the two day journey. Abdul was very professional and knowledgeable about our journey to the Zagora desert. He was patient, kind and again very professional and took his time to provide stops at scenic routes to take pictures and stops at wonderful restaurants for lunch. Once we arrived at the Zagora desert, our camels were ready to take us to our journey to our desert camp. My handler Himmy was the nicest and kindest gentleman. He made periodically made sure all our needs were met and that we were having a wonderful experience. I highly highly recommend this service and excursion to anyone looking to have a memorable experience for a desert excursion.

Nice experience. - My boy and I made the excursion from Marrakech to the Zagora desert and the truth is that it was a success thanks to Said, our guide and bus driver. At all times he was aware of us, what we needed and that everything was okay. He even enlivened the night in the desert by making us dance to live Berber music. No doubt, thank you Said.

Excellent experience - They fulfilled everything offered, picked us up at the Riyadh and dropped us off again in the same place, the very friendly driver and the rich food, the camel trip was a different experience and that must be lived. Very grateful to all the team.

Would not recommend - One of the guys who worked at the desert camp made me uncomfortable, doing things like touching my face in an overly friendly way. I also don't think they treat the camels well. One was groaning and shaking and clearly in distress. It threw up before we did the camel tour. We asked the guide if we could get a different camel and not make the sick one carry us but he laughed and said the Berbers work harder than the camels. The whole group was uncomfortable. Our driver was great and the desert accommodations were comfortable.

Nice overall, but would not do it again - This was overall a once in a lifetime experience. The places we visited were all worth it and the company most of the time was really nice. Unfortunately though to food was not up to par, nor was the accommodation. It was extremely hot inside of the tents and there was no way to regulate the temperature. The toilets and the showers smelt putrid, and honestly, they were not the best. We took the dromedaries for the final stretch to the accommodation, which was nice, but I am not sure the animals appreciated it much. We are glad to have booked this activity but would not do it again or recommend someone spending more than one night there in these conditions
