This tour was amazing. We did not have the chance to watch the sunset due to weather conditions but we saw the sunrise. It was unbelievable!!! Thanks so much to Ebrahim, he was our driver from Marrakech to Zagora, super nice, helpful, and funny. The camel part was a bit hard but worth it. Hope they can give better instructions tho, though sometimes we felt a bit lost about what we have to do next.

It was an unforgettable experience with an extremely nice driver. A special thank you to Abderrahim! Great camel ride with, wonderful sunset, and sunrise. The Saharan dunes are the best moments of the trip but the time before in High Atlas was great too
