Yes it definitely was! Can’t wait to go back 🙂

Hi Stephanie! Yes we did pay a deposit of 100 Euros through Paypal, so that’s legit. Then we paid the rest in cash in person. We had a wonderful experience with Brahim and our tour through them. And this post isn’t sponsored or anything, just pure honesty 🙂 We didn’t stay overnight in Merzouga. We actually did the 3 day tour from Fez to Marrakech with a stop overnight in the desert. So I can’t say much about hotels there. But I will say we enjoyed all the hotels we stayed at through this tour, so I think you’d be fine with any of their recommendations. We are dying to go back to Morocco again soon, hope you have a wonderful time. And feel free to ask any additional questions 🙂

Wonderful! And thank you for the response. I have been in contact with Brahim from http://www.Marrakech-Camel-trips.com via email about our trip. Two questions – Did you wire/PayPal a deposit of 100 Euros to book? I have only seen one other review online that required the same deposit, so I’m just checking for my own safety 🙂 Also, which hotel did you stay at/leave your luggage in Merzouga? Brahim offered “Riad nezha or *riad Madou or similar”. We are going to stay an extra night before our departure to the desert and an extra night returning from the desert, so I wanted to check which accommodation you preferred.

Thanks for stopping by 🙂 Our daughter was only 3 when we went, and she had a blast. She was fine on the camel, she rode in front of one of us, although didn’t keep on the turban. We used the turban like a scarf mask to cover her face and mouth during the storm. But she handled it like a champ. It was so much more of a family-friendly country than we expected, you’ll love it! Hope you have an awesome time!

Thanks Wendy! It was one of our most memorable trips yet. Such a gorgeous country and perfect for families 🙂
