SAHARA DESERT: 2 days, 1 night - ZAGORA by Sahara Rouge

This is a great tour to experience a snapshot of what Morocco has to offer. I agree with the other reviewer that it is more of a coach trip with a camel ride at the end. It is a long couple of days with lots of driving. However it is totally worth it. The Atlas Mountains are stunning, the towns and villages you see are incredible. The camp is very good, there are proper flushing toliets with loo roll, there are showers but it's too chilly to take advanatge of these.

Our driver was very friendly and nice. He actually gave my friend and I a CD of his and keychain just to be nice (as we were in the front and asked him questions about Morocco and the mountains and the language and so forth. We also listened to his music the whole time and told him we liked it). The only downfall was that we weren't informed of the extra costs involved - on one tour we were told after we had to pay. On the bright side, it is never more than 2-5 euros.

Probably the best £50 I've even spent!! Sat on the back of a camel watching the sun go down over the Sahara... definitely worth it! It is a long drive out to the desert but there are plenty of stops... not so much a tour out to the desert, more a bus journey but if you do your research first it doesn't matter. After dinner and some music from the Berbers, we stayed up around the fire after most people had gone to bed talking to them - learning about their lives and watching shooting stars.

Pretty good value for two days - you could go and get it cheaper in Marrakesh if you can be bothered. We were picked up & dropped off at the hotel and then taken to a central point where we swapped buses - mixed up with other tour comanies too -up to 16. Its a long drive both days - from 8am until 6pm with breaks and long stop for lunch & sites. Tour was brilliant though. We were put in a tent for 5 but asked to have another tent as it was pretty cramped. Camel rides were fun & food very good.

The trip was very cheap for the price since almost all is included. I really enjoyed it. The people taking care of us in the desert are very nice. They even managed to bring back the cellphone of my friend that she forgot up the camel. They are not like other Moroccans in Marrakech who always think about getting money. I even regret that I didn't have enough money that time to give a good tip. I would really recommend this tour.
