As far as the personell is concerned we could not have been happier. We were put in touch with Abdeljalil of Discovery Atlas Tours through our Riad Kech Soul Boutique and Spa in Marrakech. Abdeljalil was very considerate over the phone and responded quickly to the many questions that I had. Our driver, Muhammad was friendly and had a great sense of humor, always a smile and a hearty laugh. The tourism van, though full with 17 people was comfortable. I had read of vans turning their air-conditioning off but that was never an issue in our van. Our guides along the way, Ibrahim and Couscous, were informative, fun, and made our stops very enjoyable. Finally our camel driver going into the camp, Muhammad, made our trip. The camel rides in and out were too short! We were enjoying ourselves and could have gone on for hours. He was engaging, good humored, knowledgeable and a perfect host. The Panorama Hotel in Dades was comfortable and the luxury camp in the Sahara a delight. Good food, friendly staff. The weather only partially cooperated. Clouds prevented any sunset, stars or sunrise but the temperatures were perfect. All in all an excellent trip and thanks to Abdeljalil for putting it together for us. My only concern was the price but theirs is competitive.
