3.00Stops at friends' house for coffee??? The oasis is very dirty! Papers, plastic bottles, cans are lying around! The water does not make you want to swim there! In my opinion caught tourist! Meals more than bad...
Stars in the eyes.

5.00Two extraordinary days in the desert. Everything was perfect. We return with stars full of eyes. Top organization. Discovering splendid landscapes, men and women of exceptional kindness. A great guide and an outstanding driver. Really a great experience. Do not hesitate!!!! There half day by scooter to visit the island highlights is a nice and original idea. To do also without problem.
