Testimonials

The 2-day excursion from Errachidia to the Merzouga desert was a wonderful experience. From the moment we left Errachidia, we were immersed in spectacular landscapes, with mountains and vast desert expanses all around us. Upon arriving in Merzouga, riding a camel into the heart of the heart and watching the sunset over the dunes was magical. The night in the Berber camp was unforgettable, with traditional music under a starry sky. The organization was impeccable, with a friendly and professional guide who explained to us every detail of the place. A short trip, but full of moments that will remain forever in our memory!
Hanna
We thoroughly enjoyed the 2-day excursion from Errachidia to Merzouga desert. The drive from Errachidia was already an adventure, with changing landscapes that left us in awe. Upon reaching the dunes of Merzouga, the camel ride was amazing, leading to a camp in the heart of the desert, where we spent the night in a Berber tent. The local hospitality, delicious food and relaxed atmosphere made the experience even more special. Watching the sunrise in the desert the next day was a magical moment. Everything was very well organized, and our guide made the trip even more memorable. Highly recommended!
