Perfect quick desert experience - Great experience, and well managed by our guide. He drove very well in the desert. Before getting there, we visited the traditional ceramic artisanal centre. We arrived at the camp just in time to do the camel ride (about 30 minutes) at sunset. Dinner and breakfast were very good. After dinner, the people at the bivouac played traditional music in front of a fire and under the stars - an incredible experience! The tents are very spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended and good value for money.

Beautiful trip through the desert with Hussein - Great trip with Hussein as guide! The highlight was riding with the camels and the musical evening provided by the guides. Food was also delicious!

A magical moment - Magnificent excursion in the desert, we were 7 with a little of 4 years and a half, the care by Ishmael and his colleagues were very warm as well as nomads who welcomed us at the foot of the dunes. Lots of nice surprises during the journey to the dune of Erg Chigaga. The tents are comfortable and for those who wonder, there are toilets and showers. The evening meal was fabulous... I ate the best tagine of my whole life 😁 In the evening, Berber music around a campfire under a starry sky, a timeless moment!!! In short an absolutely magical moment. I wouldn't hesitate to come back and try the experiment and see all these great people again.

On top! - Very nice organization, pro and kind!!! Our desert outing from Chigaga went beautifully well with Zagora desert travel!!! Our guide Elhoussin was perfect, explanations, stops, driving, management of 2 days, nothing wrong!!! Brahim at the camp is a welcoming monster, and very good cook and the Moustapha our young dromedary guide at the top and very good photographer! Thank you all! We were able to enjoy the pool at the start and arrival of the excursion, at their accommodation which was our meeting point! Paradise Tuareg, which is really appreciable!!! The bivouac is great class, almost too much for us but everything is there😉 The desert of Chigaga is remote and magical, real big dunes, you can go with your eyes closed!!! Ismaël, the boss is very responsive and professional and good advice!!! Happy continuation to this beautiful Moroccan Enterprise that organizes excursions throughout the country!!!

Magic and unmissable - Magnificent experience, We contacted the agency a day in advance and they were very kind and helpful in explaining how the desert trip works. We were taken by 4x4 to the erg chicaga visited the dunes, took the dromedary ride, dined and slept under the stars. The camp all to ourselves and in the evening pure musical entertainment Authentic and recommended experience

Cool desert experience - The desert experience was very spectacular & the hosts very warm. The food tasted good. As a conclusion, traditional Moroccan music was played around the fire. However, the journey was longer than expected.

Price performance is out of proportion. Mass Handling/ Child Labour and Animal Exploitation!! Not recommended - The desert itself was spectacular. The driver was nice, too. Everything else wasn't good. Child labour and animal exploitation are in the foreground here. It was a mass clearance. After 3 hours of driving we had to go straight to the camels (which I didn't want and nobody cared about). The camel herd was led by a child. The animals that did not hear immediately were treated very violently by the child. We were supposed to go to a dune to watch the sunset, after that we had to go straight back and there was dinner. Here we were also simply parked in a tent. Very little interaction. At 7:30 the next morning we had breakfast and the ride back started at 8:20. Unfortunately, none of this is in proportion to the price. In addition, the animals are treated very badly. I can therefore not recommend this tour through this provider. But the desert itself is worth seeing, possibly through another provider.
