Driss is a great driver! An unforgettable experience, there are 2 guides who speak different languages. Very friendly and the journey was very pleasant. I would definitely do it again!!

It was a great experience and the I would definitely do this again. The places where we stopped were a bit touristy, especially the lunch places. I think we can stop at more local cafes or restaurants. The driver (Rasheed) and the tour guide (Khalid) were fantastic. Super friendly and kind and they made my tour so much better. Definitely would have them as my tour guides again.

A special thank you for your kind words about Rasheed and Khalid — we’re happy they made your journey even more enjoyable with their friendliness and professionalism.
Incredible experience, the guides are exceptional and very kind, the night in the camp in the desert is unforgettable; we are truly happy to have lived this experience. A big thank you to all the drivers and guides, and to Mustapha, Mohammed, and everyone at the camp for your kindness and hospitality.
Merci pour votre retour Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez vécu une expérience incroyable et inoubliable, et que les guides, chauffeurs ainsi que Mustapha, Mohammed et toute l’équipe du camp aient contribué à rendre votre séjour si spécial. Merci pour vos gentils mots et votre recommandation !
Tour was well organized and met expectations as described. That said, what made this tour so memorable were the people who were part of this wonderful 2 day journey. Special shout to our tour guide Mustafa who was well versed in most the languages and communicated with each one of us effortlessly. He was knowledgeable and gave us good overview of the Moroccan history. He was funny, witty, and made sure all the tourists interacted with each other during those 2 days. Our driver thought he didn’t talk to us much, was a pleasant person and made sure he was one amongst us. He drove well and brought us back safely. The crew at the dessert made good arrangements and communicated with us effortlessly. The tent , beds and the bathrooms quality were adequate and there is not much to complaint. Last but the least are my co -tourists. Though we didn’t speak the same language, we mingled with them easily. There was lot of laughter and music throughout the trip. The energy they brought to the trip is worth mentioning and made it a life long memory to remember.
Thank you for your feedback We’re delighted to hear you had a memorable experience and enjoyed the well-organized tour. A special thank you for your kind words about Mustafa and the team, and for highlighting the great group atmosphere that made the journey even more special.
Driss was fantastic. We enjoyed our trip with him. Bring lots of water- that’s not included or provided The bus can be quite hot as well. There is A/C, but it doesn’t work great. Bring cash- there are lots of tourist stops along the way and you will need to pay cash. The company tried to get an extra 400 MAD out of us at the start for no reason. We said “no” and they didn’t bring it back up again.
Thank you for your feedback We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your trip with Driss and appreciated his service. We also appreciate your comments regarding the bus comfort, water availability, and pricing concerns, as they help us improve the experience and communication for future travelers.
Once in a lifetime experience! All guides were very kind and insightful!

Very nice experience in the desert and crossing the Atlas Mountains. The landscape is incredible. I went with my mother and a couple of friends, and we all enjoyed it. The van driver was also very nice. Be careful with the "women's cooperatives"...
