The 3 days were amazing, we travelled so far and saw so much. Everything from the snowy atlas to the Sahara was beautiful. The trip is well organised, and both nights’ accommodation is nice. First night is a grand hotel with clean big rooms, second night at the camps there are big tents with single beds and also tents with two double beds in for couples. Sunset and sunrise camel rides are brilliant. The only thing to note which isn’t so great is the lunch stops each day. Locations were nice but the food wasn’t great, exactly the same each day. You really get the feeling that this is where all the tour guides being their customers as affiliates, the restaurants are trying to get you in and out as fast as possible - 2nd and 3rd courses brought out while most still eating 1st. And they often came round asking for money while people were still eating. always set menus 100-125 dhs. The driver also gave info on what we were passing to front seat passengers but nothing to guys in the back

We had a good time on the tour. Everything was well organized. We are thankful especially to our driver, Mohammed, who drove safely and explained us the upcoming programs throughout the day. I think it's a perfect trip if you want to see the Atlas and want to experience slightly the desert life.

We had a few issues with the bus breaking down but that wasn’t their fault. The guide and driver still got us to our destination and we had a great day.

The trip was really good organized, the guide was excellent, very kind and helpfull. Also the lunch was prepared (must pay extra).

Great Trip, very friendly and safe driver! Recommending it 100%
