It was an amazing experience and I would recommend everyone stay a night or two in the desert. Riding a camel is certainly an experience.

Average at best

sam_g, Apr 2022

The camel trek was a good experience and what we expected. The camp was unorganized and we were given no info on what to expect. The food was really slow to come out and staff were inattentive and forgetful. It seems that some of the staff had been smoking some hash.

Sanddunes Erg Chebbi worth a visit

Eric, Mar 2020

Thumbs up for this excursion and our guide Murat. Bit onfortunately that he didn't speak much English or French, so the conversation wasn't great, but nevertheless he was a great host. As it was low season, we were just the two of us. Later joined by 8 other guests. On our way to the bivac we had two stops, one of them to see the sunset. the first one wasn't completely necessary to us, but maybe it was good to do so my back wouldn't hurt too much on arriving?! The biggest surprise was the tentplace: kind of luxury in the middle of the dessert, with real beds, a sanitary bloc and even a dining tent! The diner was superb and way too much. What a nice dishes! to us the best dinner at the best spot possible during our trip in Marocco. The possibility to have a shower at the hotel when we were back, was great.

The highlight of my week in Morocco

Clark_H, Jun 2019

Amazing experience! The team treated me so well after I drove to Merzouga to start the tour. An hour long ride by camel out into the dunes was very cool. Then watching the sunset was glorious. Our dinner was delicious and more than I could eat. Gazing at the stars out next to the fire was so peaceful. Watching the Berber's make music was mesmerizing and they had so much fun playing and including us. A comfortable night's sleep and then an early morning to climb the dunes. The sunrise from the dunes was so moving I cried. The sand changed colors as the sun rose. BEAUTIFUL!! Then a downhill walk to a great breakfast and a camel ride back to town. My only thoughts are how I can come back and who can I bring to share this experience with next time. THANK YOU!!

The trip went exactly as described...

Tyson S, Oct 2018

The trip went exactly as described, which was perfect for us. Met at the Auberge which had plenty of room for parking overnight. About 6 other guests met there as well and we departed on time on the camels about an hour before sunset. I guess the camel walk took about an hour as well and we watched sunset from the top of the dunes around the camping area. Dinner was later, after 8 I think, and was a very delicious typical Tajine. My friend and I are vegetarian and they accommodated us by making a veggie Tajine. There was traditional music later that they played and then we went to bed in the tents. Woke up for sunrise and took a shorter route back to the auberge in the morning. Whatsapp is a very good way to communicate with them if you dont have a local phone number.

Amazing! Highly...

Matej K, Jul 2018

Amazing! Highly recommended. Booking was easy and fast, no complications. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, they took very good care of us. Pickup at camping La Liberte, with parking. Camels were very calm and nice. The fotoshooting on the way was by our guide, and very very profesonal, awesome pictures!!! The ride to desert camp was cca 45 min. After sunset diner in desert camp. FOOD WAS DELICIOUS. And portions big. Come very hungry. No problem for vegetarians. Accomodations very nice, including europian style toilet in the desert. Plenty of time to see the sunrise. Set your own alarm clock. After that you leave the desert camp. Another fotoshoot on the way back to La Liberte. There you end with a big breakfast. Very good experience.

WOW

Das Kamel Trecking und die Übernachtung im Wüstencamp war großartig und die Leute superfreundlich. Der Empfang am Treffpunkt wirkte etwas unfreundlich und unorganisiert

Muy bonita experiencia

Amparo_A, Apr 2023

Antes de salir hacia el desierto te puedes bañar en la piscina del hotel de salida. A volver hay un buffet de desayuno muy bueno. El personal de la excursión muy amables durante toda la experiencia. Por la noche tocan tambores y animan al personal a bailar.
