Summary: This was the highlight of our trip in Morocco so far! Ahmed, our guide was amazing..the communication with him very smooth, everything very well organised and correct. He came to pick us up at the meeting point and drove us with his jeep to the camp. He also took us sanboarding and on top of the dunes to see the sunset. The tents were super comfy and luxury. The dinner was great and after dinner we all gathered by the fire and locals played some music, singing and dancing. Very lovely night :) Every single person was very nice to us. Ahmed also arranged for us a 1h guided trip with ATV from the camp to the car the morning after, which was super fun! Dont miss this experience! :)
