What we love about this experience is the sense of exclusivity it offers—your own private tent, outdoor lounge, and campfire create a personal retreat. The inclusion of live entertainment like a Gnaoua duo, fire-eater, and henna artist adds vibrant touches that elevate the evening. We also appreciate the opportunity for a camel ride through the scenic desert at sunset, which offers stunning views and a peaceful vibe. Finally, the Moroccan cuisine served here is both generous and flavorful, perfect for a relaxed yet festive dinner.
