It was an absolutely amazing experience! We had a blast with the driver/tour guide Driss, who went above and beyond for us to make the most of the trip. He was extremely kind, helpful, knowledgeable about anything we would ask, and his positivity and the time spent together during long drives definitely made our trip 200% more memorable and enjoyable! The sunset/sunrise at the dessert was magical and we also really enjoyed staying at the dessert camp. Dinner was absolutely amazing, the camp fire/music/dance was so much fun, and the tent was extremely comfortable with a big bed and private bathroom/shower. It was also a big plus to get to know other travelers from all over the world at the camp! Thank you so much for your hospitality and flexible arrangements/accomodations and we wish you all the best!

The trip was great, we really enjoyed it. It did feel a bit long but was worth it. The stops along the way also help. Want to give special mention to our driver Khalid, he made it all worth it! Such a friendly and funny guy, we really had some great conversations. We felt safe driving long distance with him. Visiting the old Kasbah along the way was absolutely incredible! Will definitely recommend this!
