Reviews

Ines 8/10
Netherlands 🇳🇱

Pros: Amazing staff and set up of the camp. Food was delicious and plentiful. Tents are spacious and with a regular bathroom.

Cons: It gets very cold inside. Adding a simple heater or a natural fireplace would do a lot for the comfort. If not in the individual tents, then at least in the communal one.

Cons: It was raining in the desert, but that’s not the accommodations fault ;) tents where waterproof

Pros: All the staff were incredibly gracious and welcoming. The Desert Camp is also environmentally conscious and takes good care of its five handsome camels, much better than many camps in the surrounding areas that we saw.

Fantastic

Pros: What an amazing location to spend the night in the desert. The camp itself is build in a more traditional way compared to the other ‘luxury camps’. The staff is super friendly and very professional. The tents are very spacious and each tent jas its own seperate bath room. The dinner as well as the breakfast were delicious. After dinner we were entertained with some traditional music and even got to play along with the staff. If you have doubts were to boom your desert stay, I would highly recommend ali & saea’s desert palace as it feel way more authentic!! And ofcourse, the surroundings are absolutely amazing.

Pros: This was a wonderful experience and designed with sensitivity to the surrounding environment. Our tent was comfortable, clean, and fun. The camp had shaded areas to catch the occasional breeze and shelter from the desert sun. Wonderful food considering the location and staff offering the best of Moroccan hospitality.

Stephen 9/10
United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Pros: We had an excellent stay at the Desert Palace. The camp is beautifully designed and decorated. Every detail has been carefully thought about. The experience was extremely well organised from the information given ahead of our stay to the logistics of pick up, parking and so on. Mohammed and the team couldn't have been more attentive and the experience felt very personalised. We absolutely loved the dune buggy and would recommend it as an alternative to the sunset camel ride. While you are aware that there are lots of other camps in the area, the experience didn't feel overly touristy and the drumming after dinner felt like you were listening to a few mates having a jamming session rather than a show being put on. We enjoyed the interactive nature of the evening including learning about Amazigh culture, having a dance and having a go at the drumming. Overall, it was first rate and the whole team should be very proud of the experience that they provide.

Cons: We have nothing negative to say about it.

Pros: Beautifully decorated traditional tents with separate but private bathrooms. Great sunset and sunrise. Fantastic quad and dune buggy experience. Traditional 3 course dinner with entertainment.
