Unforgettable trip into the Sahara wilderness
Edward H,Apr 30, 2026
- Review from Viator
5.00Thank you to Ali, Saber, Heidi, Mamolet, and all involved to make our trip so wonderful. The Sahara is extremely beautiful, and we felt in safe hands and very welcomed into the local way of life. Our guide was very professional and always wanted to look out for us & check in with us. It's worth noting, this experience isn't a jolly, you're going into the outback with limited supplies and amongst the elements all day & night, but by embracing the local techniques you can get a real feel for life & culture in the Sahara. We came out of this experience with many a story, a friendship, and a new perspective. Thanks to the team out there in Tunisia, we recommend this tour to anyone seeking an adventure!
