It was an amazing experience, the guide Mustapha was very nice with me, and the experience was pretty cool, you have to be in the car for a long time but it’s worth It when you get to the dessert, I have a great time!
We were collected by our driver, Brahim Tenmen an efficient 10 mins early and driven through some stunning scenery through the Atlas Mountains before stopping off at the Ait Ben Haddon kazbah where Gladiator was filmed. A fascinating place and full of atmosphere. At this point Brahim handed us over to a local guide who was excellent. We drove a short way to a pleasant lunch stop and then continued the journey to the place where we picked up the camels. Brahim left us in the capable hands of the camel driver and we arrived at the camp at dusk, where the camel driver entertained is with mint tea, biscuits, nuts and his delightful company. The evening meal was pleasant, but not 'sumptuous' as described. All the guests joined together outside to be entertained with Berber music. Unfortunately it was cold and very dark so we couldn't see the drummers and went to bed after a short while. The rooms in the tents were delightful and though the beds were hard, they were comfortable enough. Sunrise at the top of the dunes was lovely. We tracked back by camel and rejoined Brahim who drove us safely on to the film studios (80Dm pp) - a good stop, and then back to Marrakech. This was an amazing experience we would not have missed for the world. We would have liked longer to allow for more stop offs and photo opportunities. Thankyou Brahim, the guide at the kazbah and our camel driver for such a great experience .
