Our night in a Bedouin tent was unforgettable: the guides singing by the fire, our meal (couscous of course!) sitting on the floor around the communal table and the children playing in what was to them the biggest beach in the world.

Most memorable was camping in the Sahara under the stars with no man-mad noise or light to interrupt the experience. (more)Walking in the Atlas in general was terrific with the beautiful scenery. Sleeping outside under the stars was also amazing... Second to none! (more)Most memorable were walking to the top of the dunes, having the only set of footprints the whole way and surveying the vast view... Running up a dune in the dark and sitting on the top looking at the stars. (more)The most memorable part of our holiday would be sleeping in the desert and running up the sand dunes (the best exercise of my life). It was so beautiful and so light, even at night! (more)We loved the Sahara Desert, the High Atlas Mountains, the zest of Marrakesh city, and our cooking class. Our children loved the sand boarding, decorating pottery with henna, the music and jokes around the campfire and the unique opportunity to actually collect fossils from a hill range.
(more)The whole holiday was very memorable with a great variety of things to do and see. There was never a dull moment as the different aspects of Moroccan life unfolded before our eyes. (more)
Thanks for including the lodge on your website. We would never have taken the five day desert safari without it as our destination. Our highlight of the trip was taking a half day camel trip into the sand hills behind the lodge. The camel guides and camels were great. (more)There were lots of highlights on this trip because there were so many different textures but sunrise on the desert stands out for us. (more)We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
