Our customers' reviews
Jose Manuel Ar
Zaragoza,
It is a fascinating experience that you must do once in your life.
The trip is quite heavy, about 7 hours, but our guide Driss did his best to make it very enjoyable giving all kinds of explanations and taking us to a couple of tents prior to arrival in the desert.
The start of the excursion is at 20:00 hours to avoid the sun as much as possible. The camel ride is authentic. Take a scarf for your face or you can buy it on the spot for 5 euros. They can take your luggage to the camp by jeep. The camp is very nice, you are greeted with tea. The dinner and breakfasts are very good. You can buy cold water there.
The return trip is even more authentic, as many people return by quad, which gives it a more peaceful atmosphere.
Fundamental, if you go in summer RENT AIR CONDITIONING , the idea of cold at night is a myth.
If you want to go back in quad is a bit expensive, 70 euros.
That said, very well.
