A wonderful Desert overnight in Merzouga!

A wonderful trip into the desert on camels. We stayed in the basic camp which was comfortable, sang around the fire, and tried sandboarding. Aziz went out of his way to surprise us with a cake to celebrate my partner's birthday. We hired quad bikes through Mouhou Tours the next day. Would use this company again as everything worked to plan and was reasonably priced compared to other companies.

1-Night Experience in Merzouga desert!

Left speechless and in tears for most of the Merzouga desert trip, just in awe of its beauty despite being drenched with heavy rains and thunderstorms at night, it still was a memorable experience. Aziz & his team made sure I was comfortable and safe, driver Hakim was very kind, helpful & thoughtful and made the trip more fun, and his driving was superb. The rest of the destinations were quite stunning as well, I wouldn’t have gone to all those places by myself if not for Mouhou!

My Overnight camel trek Merzouga!!

The overall experience was extremely pleasant and even though the camp was at the time at a very low capacity ( just me and my fellow traveler) they spared no expense to complement our stay giving us an impressive amount of freedom but never neglecting to guide us to fully enjoy ourselves.
Though everyone was very accommodating, I would draw special attention to Aziz, who through his welcoming nature gave us a completely new insight into the region and overall enriched our visit.
