Auberge Kasbah Dar Sahara Tours - Hostel

This was an amazing experience in the southern part of Morocco, in the Sahara Desert. Our knowledgeable guides put together a custom tour for 3 days and two nights for my son and I. We were picked up by our driver in the town of Ourzazate and driven to the town of M’Hamid, where our guides were waiting with 2 camels, packed up with camping gear and provisions. After a lavish meal we rode our camels out to the sand dunes, where we set up camp for the night. We watched an amazing sunset over the dunes and sat around the campfire. Our guides cooked an amazing meal over the fire, including a big loaf of bread (they eat bread with every meal). The rest of the evening included musical entertainment by our multi-talented guides. The clear night sky was adorned with myriads of stars, several planets and the Milky Way galaxy. Get the free app NIGHT SKY which will help identify stars and constellations. By the way, there is cell phone service everywhere. The next morning we viewed the sunrise over the dunes and took some amazing photos, as our guides cooked breakfast over the campfire. After packing up our camels, we continued our trek through the dunes to a rendezvous point where a 4 wheel drive was waiting to take us further into the desert. The next destination was Lhabidia or La Grande Dune. This one of the biggest dune formations in southern Morocco. We arrived at the camp consisting of individual cabins with comfortable beds, hot showers and full kitchen, with gourmet chef. The afternoon was filled with climbing the dunes, sand boarding (like snow boarding on sand), spectacular views, photography and another amazing sunset. The evening was topped off with a multi course, gourmet meal, and additional entertainment by our musician-guides. Day 3 started with another amazing sunrise and gourmet breakfast. After packing up, we drove through miles of wilderness to large rock formation containing fossils , estimated to be about 580 million year old. The fossils are plentiful and you can collect some. Additional hours of driving got us back to our starting point , Ourzazate. This was an amazing, action packed trip, skillfully executed by our experienced guides. We highly recommend this company and looking forward to another trip in the future. 5 STARS RATING ALL AROUND! 👍
