I had the most incredible time exploring the vast sands and breathtaking landscapes, with every sunset painting the sky in vibrant hues. The camel trekking was an unforgettable way to connect with the scenery, and I loved the meals shared around the fire, filled with local flavors that truly delighted my taste buds. A small suggestion would be to include a bit more detail in the itinerary, as I found myself curious about the next day’s adventures.

Our time in the desert was mesmerizing, with nights spent under a blanket of stars and days exploring the vastness of the Merzouga dunes. The camel trekking was a unique way to embrace the beauty of the landscape, though a bit more guidance on local customs would have enhanced our experience.

Our family’s experience trekking through the stunning Merzouga dunes was truly unforgettable, especially when we found ourselves watching the sunset paint the sky in vibrant hues while perched atop our camels. Each evening, we were treated to delicious traditional Moroccan meals around the campfire, which fostered a warm sense of togetherness that we cherished. If there’s one area for improvement, it would be to have a bit more free time to explore the local culture in Marrakesh before and after the adventure.

Our private desert adventure exceeded expectations, offering a blend of serene trekking and fascinating cultural insights. The camel ride through the dunes was a highlight, and the meals were surprisingly delicious, especially the tagine under the starlit sky. One minor suggestion would be to include a bit more time for exploration in Merzouga itself, but overall, this experience was unforgettable.
