What people are saying about Al Haouz

We were picked up in the hotel right on time. He was very nice and polite. Through ride he gave us lots of information about the city! Camel ride was very nice and people were very attentive and careful about our safety. And the camp end dinner was spectacular, I absolutely recommend it to any one, great experience.

We had the best time during our dessert dinner! The camel ride was really fun (and not as easy as it looks, especially going down hill). The camp was beautiful, and we got to watch the sunset before having a tasty Moroccan dinner. The whole experience was well worth it!

The dinner in the desert with entertainment music was great. Camel ride really nice, we learnt a lot about camels. I wish we could have the traditional clothing, like other tourists have. But besides that, everything was excellent!

A bit expensive for Moroccan standards, but cheaper than other local tour companies and totally worth it! We had a blast and the owner is a real character who made us feel very welcomed. Great 1 night experience

Amazing service, nice and kind people. We felt super good all the time and the tent perfect. The food was amazing as well. I really recommend this experience
