We had a great experience from start to finish. From booking we received a message from our fabulous tour manager Brahim a friendly and respectful man who confirmed. Besides, we were hydrated and having a great time and also our driver giving us a lot of local knowledge from Ait ben haddou kasbah to Boumalne dades, todra gorge and merzouga desert. He took time out to take pictures of all the families capturing every special moment beneath the sunset and the starry sky. I would definitely recommend booking with this Morocco tour company, you will have the best time. The desert night was super fun and the camp in the evening with the Berber music and food is something we’ll never forget.
