Pool, Camels, Quads, Dinner, Tea.

For what you pay, the food is really great (and plentiful) and the activities are fun. The desert is beautiful. They run a great program here.

My only critique is that the show runs until 11 PM, and we didn’t make it back to the hotel until 12:30 at night. It’s very exhausting. If I was them, I’d move everything up at least an hour!

This is absolutely recommended. I booked for my Partner and I to go through Starry Morocco Tours. I used TripAdvisor but it would be less expensive direct. That said, we were picked up on time by air conditioned minibus. Transfer for 45 mins. On arrival we had the camel ride first. This was in traditional dress which is a nice touch. Camels were OK, but I really enjoyed the Quad biking. Quads are in good condition, and helmets provided. The routes are easy for all levels, and I would have liked to go faster but the group was mixed ability. It was still enjoyable, riding into sunset.
After the activities, we sat down to a traditional meal. Salad, bread, tagine, and fruit. Pepsi and water was on tge table. This was accompanied by 2 acts. A local musician group, and a fire breather. All entertaining and a recommended day out.

My fiancé and I partook in the Quad Ride, Camel Ride, and Sunset Dinner. It was absolutely worth it. The gentlemen were very helpful and great at what they do. They were extremely flexible and easy to communicate with. They had great character. It was a blast.

They were also able to pick us up from Marrakech and take us to the desert. We rode the quads and then they dropped us off at our resort. When it was time for the camel ride, they picked us up and took us to the camels. We rode the camels to the dinner location and were greeted by wonderful hospitality and amazing views. The dinner was fantastic as always; they served a 3 course meal. Once we were ready to leave, our driver took us back to our resort. I highly recommend!

The experience is wonderful, they have everything very well prepared and equipped and spending the night there was great, they welcome you with tea, they offer you the camel excursion and later there is a snack with a show before dinner. And during dinner the same. The delicious food. There is a very nice amazing pool area. And the luxury haima, the huge and super comfortable bed. They treated me great at all times, I would repeat without a doubt
