I've been lurking on here for weeks trying to make a decision about our Morocco trip and I'm honestly more confused than when I started. Everyone seems to have such strong opinions about which desert experience is better. We're a small group of four, all in our early 30s, and we want that classic Sahara experience with the big dunes and sunset camel trekking but we're also on a bit of a budget so we don't want to get ripped off with hidden costs. I was checking out some options on a site that breaks down the different packages and it made me realize how much variety there actually is in terms of luxury vs basic camping and how long you actually spend in the desert itself. It seems like finding the Best desert tours in Morocco really depends on whether you prioritize comfort or authenticity. For those who've done both Merzouga and Zagora, is the extra drive out to Merzouga really worth it for the bigger dunes? Also any red flags we should watch out for when booking? I keep hearing stories about tours that promise private tents but then pack you in with strangers and I really want to avoid that hassle.
