Youssef was awesome! He planed everything for us, quadtour, camel ride, campfire in the dessert and even the trip back to our hotel! Thanks again! We would recommend him to everyone!

Great Saharan camel experience

Great hosts. The camel ride was unforgettable going over the dunes. My son enjoys only a few things and he’s now saying that he can’t wait to tell his friends at school about his experience. I recommend this experience to anyone who likes to have fun.

Overnight Camel ride Camp

Fantastic experience! Highly recommend! My family and I (husband and 2 x teenage daughters) will forever remember our time in Merzouga. Youssef was a pleasure to deal with and his team were wonderful as well. The camp was so well organised and communication responsive. Nothing was too difficult (we were unable to get to the meeting point from our hotel) and a pick/up was organised immediately. The ride into the desert was spectacular, approx 1.5hr. From there we saw the sun set and then went to camp which was very luxurious for ‘camp’. We were greeted with mint tea, and biscuits. We were then shown to our tents with private bathroom, wifi and charging station! Dinner was a traditional Berber 3 course meal, delicious! One of my daughters has a severe nut allergy and this too was not a problem. After dinner we sat by the camp fire and were entertained by drums. We woke early to watch the sun rise and then had a buffet breakfast, also traditional. Overall an amazing experience and out shone all expectations!

Highly recommend this company.

Brilliant and welcoming people to take this experience with. They made it feel personal and while it’s for tourists, it felt sincere and authentic. I would recommend choosing these people. Their language skills are also very impressive.

Great experience, and a big thank you to Youssef

Unforgettable experience in the desert. The camel ride to the camp is really amazing. The accommodation at the camp is really nice and very comfortable (large room, bathroom)... nothing is missing. A little anecdote: on the way back (on the camel), my wife lost her phone, but she realized it much later. We therefore called Youssef to ask if he had found the phone (finding a phone in sand dunes is not easy). But surprise: in the evening, Youssef sends us a message to say that the phone and the money it contained had been found. A few WhatsApp exchanges, and Youssef puts us in touch with a taxi driver. Two days later, an appointment is made in Ait Ben Haddou, and we retrieve the phone.

Great experience! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing experience! We chose the 4x4 transfer with Youssef, totally worth it. On top of that we did 1 hour tour with Hassan, one of the best experiences of our life, he is a superstar ⭐️ The food was really good with lots of vegan and vegetarian options. After dinner they played some traditional music and early in the morning we saw the beautiful sunrise. Overall, a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ experience!

Wonderful desert experience

This experience was absolutely unforgettable from start to finish. The camel trek through the Merzouga dunes during sunset was breathtaking and felt like something out of a movie. The camp itself was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable, with such a welcoming atmosphere. The dinner was delicious, and the evening entertainment around the fire made the experience even more special. The staff and guides were incredibly kind, organized, and attentive throughout the trip, making us feel safe and well taken care of. One of the highlights was waking up early to watch the sunrise over the desert — truly magical and worth every moment. I would highly recommend this activity to anyone visiting Morocco. It was a unique and memorable experience that I will never forget!
