5.00It was my first experience in the desert. I had wonderful days on my journey with Soul of Nomads. The best guide I've ever met. I then stayed at Dar Toda and continued to have some of the most enjoyable days there. I didn't expect to meet such sincere and kind-hearted people. Thank you all individually :)
Unforgettable

5.00I had an amazing time in the desert, my guides Walid and Abdou were lovely, always making sure we were alright and having a good time. I went alone but met some amazing, fellow solo traveling women, and had such an amazing experience wildcamping in the desert for two nights, seeing the beautiful and vivid stars, and even getting to meet some desert nomads selling their wares. Totally recommend
free like a nomad 🌌

5.00I had a really wonderful and authentic desert tour experience. As a solo traveler, I didn’t want to explore the Sahara alone, but Walid spontaneously organized a small group of four other solo-travelers around the same age —we were all on a similar wavelength, which made everything feel easygoing and harmonious from the start. We were accompanied by Abdellah, whose family has Amazigh roots for generations, which added a very special touch. Both guides were incredibly friendly, funny, and always open to any questions. I felt safe at all times and had a great time, with lots of beautiful photos and meaningful conversations. I chose the 4x4 tour since I preferred not to ride camels, but I can imagine the multi-day camel trekking tour being an even more special experience—especially for nature lovers with more time. Highly recommended!
