We chose the option of 4 days and 3 nights. The experience has been fantastic, especially for the unbeatable attention of our guide, Ali, and all the people who attended us in the haimas of Merzouga. Even Brahim’s management for booking and payment was excellent. Tamlalt Tours, highly recommended.

Tamlalt Tours has organized an 8-day route through Morocco for us and we loved it. Both my wife and my two children, ages 10 and 8, had a great time. Camel rides and nights in the desert, a real family adventure.

We came from Taiwan. We are so lucky to choose Tamlalt Tours. Our driver Hassan helped us in everything. He took us everywhere we wanted to go. I’d recommend this company to anyone travelling to Morocco.

We came all the way from Mexico, and would love to do it again! Ali drove us from Marrakech to the desert, making several stops, visiting amazing little towns and beautiful sceneries like the Dades Gorges and Ait Benhaddou. The camp was perfect: we had dinner, we danced, sang and watched the stars.
