    We liked it a lot. Yussef, the driver, picked us up and we had a wild drive over the Dunes into the camp. The food was very delicious, Ismail, the cook, was great and we had nice lessons how to cook Tajine and a great time with him and Aziz. The Jeeptour the next day was interesting and Yussef did his best to fullfill all our wishes. He is a very experienced driver. Moreover, we enyojed the drums at the fireplace. We felt safe and comfortable all the time. Thanks to everybody.

    Well-organised stay in the camp, big dinner, basic breakfast. The toilets could be cleaner but it's not a big problem especially in the middle of the desert.

    No toilet paper at times and cleanliness could he a little better.

    Great tour across the desert from our guide Yousef. Highlights were definetly the Quad bikes and sand boarding at sunset. I would recommend this camp to everyone, great value for money and an amazing overall experience!

    It was an incredible experience to be in the desert to see the sunrise, then take the camels where everything seemed like a real movie. The music with the campfire everything was great with the breakfast. Thanks for the experience, I recommend it. They are very reliable people.

    Breathtaking life-changing desert stay with unforgettable camel ride & sunrise walk over the dunes

    The communication on booking.com messenger about the price, etc. prior to the visit are a bit haphazard and it was unclear what's included and excluded and for how much. The morning trip back to the camp was a bit rushed -- we just got back from watching the sunrise and had to rush through our breakfast in order to catch the caravan back to Merzouga. Just a warning for the obvious, but often overlooked -- nature eventually decides what works and what doesn't.... unfortunately a mini sandstorm got in the way of our plan for star gazing at night, and there was no night entertainment/campfiire, and we ended up walking around by ourselves in rather cold wind in the dark -- it forced the gnawa musicians to perform indoor instead of outdoor, in the tent limited to those purchasing dinner package only. Our camp has no wifi and you need to "borrow" the Wifi from the camp next door! While we have maroc telecom data on our phones (which amazingly worked well in the desert), having a Wifi helped alleviate any network connectivity/performance issues. Ask in advance if your camp has Wifi. Coming in the PM and leaving the next AM may not be enough if you want to explore more (ATV, hiking further out, etc). Bring strong flashlights, don't rely only on your phones'. Camel ride: It could be choppy so holding your phone is a bit tricky. We secured our phones on selfie sticks so they can be better controlled with one or two hands while holding on to the handle for dear life, but after a while we got a hang of it. Camels are quite tall, 6 ft or so, so you could sustain injuries if you fell off your saddle.

    The immensity and beauty of the Sahara overcome any issue that you may have at the camp. The camel rides to and from the pick up point in Merzouga (about 1 hr each way), the camel guides, the host are all great. The tent is unexpectedly huge (we have 3 or 4 beds for only 2 of us), and surprisingly the restroom facility, expectedly basic as it was (it's a mixed gender restroom), serves its purpose. When we were there, there was a mini sand storm coming in, so the wind howled through the night quite loudly (if you can't stand loud noise when sleeping, remember to pack some earplugs). The camel caravan was well-organized and they knew when we're coming and which camp we're going, etc. The sunrise camel ride was a once-in-a-lifetime unforgettable experience, but you really don't need to go on a camel ride. We just walked to the dunes (basically following the camels) and explored the dunes ourselves and was able to take beautiful photos and contemplate the experience.

    The experience itself is very much touristic. In the evening they offer you a traditional berber concert but it feels a bit fake. Everything is scheduled and organised and I didn't find much space for spontaneity. The bathroom were a bit smelly and there was no warm water, but it's reasonable since we're in the desert. Although the initial price seems very low, you've to pay to arrive to the camping (50€ with a 4x4 car). During the night there was a lot of wind, and the tents became very noisy since the external coverage was slamming all over the tent.

    Dinner was fine, simple but good, as well as the breakfast. The room was spacious and comfortable, with plugs to charge our phones. Overall, the camping was pretty clean. The hosts offered us tea and biscuits before dinner and they were very pleasant.

    The location in the dunes is great, the food was good and the people, especially Hakim, took really good care of us. We really recommend this place and would come agsin

    Amazing hotel infront of the biggest dune in the Moroccan Sahara. The location was perfect and tranquil. Loved waking up to the view and watching the sunset and the moon rising. What an epic place seemed like a movie. Safe and very pleasant for a lone female traveller - staff were very welcoming and attentive. Traditional tagine was lovely and enjoyed the breakfast. Only had time for sunset camel trek but next time would aim to stay overnight in the bivouac camp. Was such a relief after the frenetic and chaotic pace of Fes to feel calm and to be treated so well. Would stay again in a heartbeat

    The tents are very good, the staff is very nice and they make you live a very nice experience in the desert. You can get to the tents by 4x4 that you have to take separately, but you can get a good price.

    The camp exceeded our expectations. Everything is fairytale like. First of all, the road from Merzouga to the camp was exciting and gave us a great adrenaline rush, going through the dunes with a 4X4. The hosts are awesome and very attentive. They were always making sure everything was on spot during our stay. Dinner and breakfast were delicious, over the top. Camel ride in the morning for sunrise was a once in a lifetime experience.

    My stay at sahara traveling Camp was extremely interesting full of fun joy and laughter! The camp was in the middle of the desert as we arrive very late! Thanks for youssef suggestion who to thought to pick us by 4x4 car! So kind of him! After he dropped us at the camp I took my tent and I was so surprised of what I saw a beautiful comfy bed with decorations and cleanness smile! The dinner was good and the night was so incredible in the Sahara desert I highly recommend this place!

    Everything was nice from start to finish. Youssef M and his brothers were very welcoming. The camp is beautiful and the rooms are surprisingly large. Breakfast and dinner was delicious. The fire at night was amazing, the guys really know how to play the drums. I totally recommend Ismail's lessons hahahaha In total, we had a wonderful experience in the desert.
