“5 stars. This was absolutely fantastic and one of, if not the best activity we did in our Morocco trip (Marrakech and Essaouira). Safety was taken seriously and we were provided gear, unlike other tours/groups we saw (no helmet, gloves etc). The centre is clean and professional and staff are fantastic. Not to mention the dunes - he realised our level quickly and adapted and took us on some fantastic routes - didn't feel too short or too long. We also got some cracking pictures afterwards that were included too. Would absolutely recommend!!”

The camel behind me walked right next to me and loved getting scratches during our ride. We got a lot of great photos of us and the camels during sunset by our guide, Iman (as I recall his name).”
