We were very disappointed with the camp, dirty sheets, pillowcase with drool marks. Showers that did not work were missing shower heads and evacuation problem. Otherwise the meal and the show around the fire was good. Too expensive to go swimming in a hot but muddy pond nothing to do with the photos.
Very nice day

Our excursion was simply magical. From the start, Salim welcomed us with a smile and exceptional kindness. He knows the desert as his pocket and shares exciting stories about local culture, history and wildlife. The organization was impeccable: comfortable transportation, well-chosen breaks, and a typical meal served under the stars absolutely delicious. Salim was able to create a friendly Mood while ensuring our safety and comfort along the way.

Very erudite guide. Maybe a little too much. Attentive driver. They sold me the best couscous in the world, it’s not worth my mother-in-law’s but still. The quad bike very well; attentive monitors. Average swimming; floating algae could be cleaned. I would have liked to know more about the oasis; what crops are practiced how many inhabitants self-sufficient food....for the troglodyte part too fast; I would have liked to get closer. Despite everything excellent value for money. Overall congratulations. I recommend.
