Exploring the Merzouga desert was an unforgettable experience for our group, especially the camel ride under the vast, starry sky. The dinner with the nomads was a highlight, offering a taste of local culture that felt more personal than we anticipated. While the ride out to Erfoud was a bit longer than we expected, the breathtaking landscape made it all worthwhile.

Riding camels through the stunning dunes was a surreal experience that brought us closer to the nomadic culture of the region. While the dinner was delicious, the wait for it felt a bit long after our trek.

We were excited to dive into the desert experience, and the camel ride turned out to be a fantastic way to view the expansive dunes. The nomadic dinner was something we really looked forward to, and sitting under the stars was truly memorable, despite a bit of delay in the meal service. As business travelers, we appreciated the privacy of the tour, which allowed us to soak in the atmosphere without distractions. Riding through the golden sands, we felt a unique connection to the culture and lifestyle of the region. The only downside was that the long drive from Erfoud seemed a bit repetitive, but the adventure made up for it. Overall, it was a wonderful escape from our busy schedules.
