Reviews about overnight camel trekking in Merzouga

Camel Trekking

We booked a desert tour and it was fantastic! Hamid is an incredible guide. He responded to every question we posed and took hundreds of photographs of us. There are no hidden costs or gimmicks. If you're afraid (as we were prior to visiting the desert) that camels will be treated inhumanely, fear not. Animals are respected, work less than four hours per day, and appear to be content. I would strongly recommend him and this tour.

Overnight Camel Trekking in Merzouga

Great guide to the desert!!! Aziz was friendly and helpful without being too much. He taught us a lot about camels and gave us great ideas for pictures of desserts. We now have wonderful memories and saw a beautiful sunset. After taking many pictures, Aziz gave us some room to enjoy the beautiful scenery. We couldn't have asked for a better time in the desert! What can I say about the camp night? The Berber party around the fire was especially more than we thought it would be. I really think you should go camel riding overnight in Merzouga.

Lovely People

The overnight camel trekking tour in the Sahara Desert of Merzouga was incredible! The nice camel man let me have a great time with his trusty camels and took lots of lovely pictures and videos of me. He often asked me if I was too tired because he cares about me. He also taught me some interesting things about camels and how he was born in Amazigh. The friendly camels and beautiful scenery really wowed me. He was also very nice and very good at taking pictures and movies. Going on a tour in Morocco is something you will always remember and value highly.
