Magical private dinner in Marrakech desert

We booked this due to it being a private tour with a private dinner believing we were going to receive high quality service for what we paid. We were poorly mistaken, the private tour included shared transfer, shared dinner experience and a shared setting. I received a call from the organiser a few hours prior to being due to be picked up, who advised that the private tour only included a private dinner experience, which we weren't happy with but thought at least our dinner experience is private. We arrived at the desert which looked like a building site (to be expected as it's Morocco). Then we were told that a lot of our guests climb a rockery (small mountain) to watch the sunset (I imagine they advised us to do this due to not really being organised). Although the sunset was lovely (more was due to nature rather than the tour), the owner of the land asked me if we wanted a free bottle of wine or free shisha, now when someone offers something for free it normally means for something in return in Morocco, we declined politely but then he said we will give you this for free but please give me a good review! I certainly wasn't happy at this stage but after all how much can I really moan when my wife & I are in the middle of the desert and our transportation back to our Riad was his friend. Would they have left us there if I had really kicked off? I didn't want to take that chance so just decided to put it down to experience. The whole experience lacked organisation, atmosphere and privacy, even though this was what we paid for. I would ask for a refund but Viator only allows you to chose certain options ie booked another tour or cancelled before the event, no option for a very poor experience! In my recommendation I would advise travellers to use their hotel/Riad to organise such tours as this was you have at least some control of the booking organiser and probably a much better experience.

An amazing experience a must whilst your in Marrakech, first class customer service , Beautiful setting with a lovely dinner. The team look after you from start to finish.

Really taken care of food was amazing! So welcoming and kind and comfortable. Beautiful experience!.

This was a perfect evening. Our hosts were very accommodating from start to finish. Really good food too. They walked us to the top of a huge 'rock' to see the sunset (wear good shoes and take a jumper although they did have nice big, heavy blankets).

Wonderful Diner under full stars in sky Plenty food and friendly guide Fire to bring us around Touareg tent Marvelous :)

Great experience and worth every penny. Would definitely recommend although for the price would have thought wine would have been offered although totally understand why it was not. Staff were excellent - far to much food which put me off a bit and a great cat who tried to ruin a romantic evening.

This dinner was truly the highlight of our time in Morocco. The location, staff and meal were superb. I would recommend to anyone visiting Marrakech.

Assistez à un magnifique coucher de soleil en plein desert et à un succulent repas composé de mets traditionnels du pays!!! Pour un dépaysement complet et garanti!!!Merci encore pour l'accueil!

Tout était parfait c’était vraiment magique , le décor le repas excellent et le service irréprochable un coucher de soleil exceptionnel tout le monde était adorable

Devo sinceramente dire che é stata una esperienza unica ed indimenticabile. L accompagnatore molto puntuale e preciso nelle risposte alle nostre domande ci ha accompagnato nel deserto dove siamo stati accolti come principi nelle loro tende, offrendoci subito dell ottimo the alla menta, dopodiché siamo stati accompagnati sulle rocce poco distanti ad ammirare il tramonto, scesi nuovamente alla tenda sono giunte altre persone a bordo dei cammelli per la cena, gentilmente mi è stato chiesto se volevo fare delle foto al bimbo sopra il cammello e io non ho certamente rifiutato. Poi la cena tipica è stata buona con le loro spezie e il famoso tajin, hanno acceso il fuoco e tutto intorno lanterne, il cielo sereno sembrava di toccarlo con un dito. Abbiamo avuto tutto il tempo per fare le foto e siamo stati riportati in hotel. Il ricordo é fiabesco.
