5.00I did a 3-day desert tour with my friend and it was a really great experience. Everything was well organized from start to finish. The landscapes were beautiful and the desert was unforgettable. Our driver was very kind, professional, and made us feel safe the whole time. He explained things, helped us whenever we needed, and made the journey enjoyable. I really enjoyed this tour and I would definitely recommend it.

5.00Such an amazing experience ! I went with 7 other friends and we had the time of our lives in the Sahara. Hossaine was an amazing guide throughout our stay. He’s incredibly cheerful. The camel ride was a bit bumpy but it was still fun !

5.00Houssain was the best tour guide! I would absolutely recommend this trip for anyone seeking a new experience and well worth the money 🤩 Do bring additional cash and water before entering the desert (and watch out for additional payments) but we got a lot more out of the trip than we had expected and would totally do it again!

5.00It was a good trip! Hossein was so nice, and the tour guides are all friendly and cheerful. We also saw a lot more places and views then expected, and frequent breaks on the long road ride for the washroom or eating.

5.00Moha is a passionate and very implicated guide, he made the trip on of my best experience, listening to needs, question, really a care taker. A good guy-(i)de! The driver Imad was also the nicest, very patient, brave and we felt quite safe during the snowy roads as well as the sandy ones. In Ouerzazate, Hamza explained sooo many interesting stuff with passion too, he was very funny and really helped us retain lots of information even if we were quite tired with the digestion! Finally on the Gorges du Todra Amir gave us so many insits and good energy I'm so grateful for all of those persons who have really tried to make us see their souls and their love for their country, and I will come back cause their made me love Morroko! Thanks again !
