Perfect trip if you are willing to explore Maroko deeper into country to see mountains and some interesting locations. Be prepared you spend almost all 2 days in car, travelling across country. Several stops are for taking pictures and buying presents. One stop is made in village to have 40 minutes walking up to "castle" where you have lunch. Then you continue to camp site, which you reach by one hour camel ride by sunset. Camp alone is very nice place with good dinner after which you can dance by fire. Get up early in the morning to climb to nearby mountain to see sunrise and get perfect pictures. Small sand dunes led you back to camp for breakfast and half hour camel ride back to car. Another 7 hour trip back awaits you, roads are curvy and bumpy. We visited film studios on way back which where Gladiator movie was filmed. My special thanks goes to very patient, nice and very skilled driver Mohamed who was always very kind, helpful and willing to fulfill our wishes. Thanks a lot

An excellent experience. The tents are very comfortable and clean. There were plenty of toilets and showers, all the staff very friendly and helpful. We highly recommend our guide (Muhammed), at all times he was very attentive and with excellent recommendations. He got us better prices in restaurants and shops. We highly recommend this trip

We visited from US for a week trip to Morocco. One of the main highlights was this trip. The private driver, Mohammad was great, communication about travel was responsive and we have a wonderful stay in the desert and the camp was awesome! I would defiantly recommend booking this trip!

It was an amazing trip, definitely the highlight of our Moroccon journey. Our driver, Ilias was very friendly, helpful, welcoming and came prepared. The whole experience was extraordinary, unforgetable.

Nice trip to Zagora, good views during the drive. You will spend approx. 6h in the car/bus both days. Desert camp is nice, don't forget to bring warm clothing for evening and morning.
