We have spent a great time among Mooccan culture and nature and the most amazing place in our trip to Morocco was the desert Merzouga where we had an excellent trip and excellent experience. Both me and my wife enjoyed the trip and are definitely looking forward to travel with Younes again , he was our guide and driver and... More

Words cannot describe the beauty and the peace of the desert at sunrise or sunset. The trips are a bit of a production line , and no matter where you start you all end up in more or less the same place , in the same very average tents , with below average food. However none of this can detract... More

The only irritating thing is that the children are to much asking for sweets and everything they see. But if you stay out of the village it self for example in Auberge du Sud you have not to deal with them.

In February 2012 we went to Morroco, we wanted to visit the dounes in Merzouga and was so nice. We arrived to Merzouga with the contact of Mustafa, www.moroccodeserttours.com. We spent three days in Merzouga, enjoying the food and the tranquility of this wonderfull town in the border between Morocco and Argelia. There is any problem about the food and... More

This section of Trip Advisor is not well organized because reviewers (myself included) seem to be confused as to whether or not they're reviewing an experience or a company that gave them that experience. Since our party was taken to Merzouga by our tour company, Your Morocco Tour, which was excellent, I'm going to review the experience--a camel trek into... More

I did the 5 day/ 4 night trip with Said recently. I loved every minute of it. Said has had years of experience doing these tours and it shows. He knew when we needed a break and when we needed something to eat. His choice of restaurants was excellent and the others all appreciated the cleanliness of the toilets. I... More

Did you know the moon rises? We saw the moon rise amongst a sea of bright shining stars in the sky. We slept in nomad tent in woven blankets and trekked on camels on the crest of sand mountains. Every cliche is true! We had an amazing time in the Merzouga/Erg Chebbi region. We even ate a kind of 'pizza'... More
