Merzouga Desert excursions oulfakirtours.page4.me
merzougadesert 1 contribution Morocco May 31, 2012
For anyone considering a tour of Morocco, I highly recommend the oulfakir Tours mustaph. mustaph is a great person with a lot of knowledge to share. He is always very reliable and was waiting for us wherever and whatever time we asked. He is totally fluent in English and always had great recommendations for places to see during our 4-day expedition with him. He is also a good driver with a very nice vehicle. Walking through the Dades Palmaraie and the time in the Sahara (where a camel trek into the dunes was arranged for us) were spectacular. We would recommend touring Morocco with mustaph to anyone planning a trip to Morocco.

A wonderul time in Merzouga Desert
camelsafaries 0 contribution Marrakesh, Morocco Aug 26, 2011
Watching the sun rise or set over the sand dunes of Merzouga may be the most spectacular experience you have on your trip to Morocco.
Merzouga is an excellent base from which to explore the desert and bird-watchers will be enthralled with what they see. In spring, a lake forms near Merzouga which attracts pink flamingos. Other rare birds stop here during spring migration. The desert is also the year round environment for many desert reptiles and mammals.
A camel trip, for a couple hours, is a great way to see the dunes. For those who are used to getting saddle-sore, or are up for the ultimate adventure, there are two to three day desert tours on camel.This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
