Not sure where to start, but let me start by saying we had a great trip to the Sahara desert. Let me start with the driver: Mr. Aziz. He was on time, friendly and tried to answer all the questions that we had. The vehicle was very clean and maintained well. The drive was extremely comfortable and drove really well and we felt safe throughout the road-trip. Our stay at Hotel Desert Panorama was very good as well. The hotel is new and the room was very clean and the food provided was adequate for our requirements. The best for the last: our stay at camp Erg Chebbi was beyond expectations. We had a fantastic tent: very comfortable and cozy beds with plenty of blankets to warm up for the night. A beautiful shower and a washbasin and a toilet with hot water to keep you comfy. The dining area is well heated and the 3 course meal was perfect for the setting. After the dinner, we were entertained with some Berber folk music that we got to participate too. It was a lovely experience.
The whole setup and experience is just so beautiful and leaves you in a complete awe. If I had any gripe about the trip, I’d say that we would have loved to spend a little more time at each of the location that we visited on the course of the journey and to and back from the Sahara. This is probably a big ask considering the distance that we cover in the trip. Thanks again folks; Wonderful experience.

The tour was an experience we will never forget!!! Our tour guide/driver of the van was very kind and he was all the time with a big smile!!!! Our Abdou took us under the stars of the desert, not with a magic carpet but with a van, with a lot of patience and calm. Thanks to Abdou, we came into contact with the way of life and entertainment of the Berbers!!! He taught us how to play drums by the fire, We thank him for everything.

The trip was fun and easy going while also being well organized. Abderrahim and Mourad were incredible. It was a great way to see more of the country in just a few days.

Absolutely amazing trip. Highly recommend. Mouhamed and Abdou are pros – attentive, kept us on scheduled, planned to perfection. 10/10 would do again. If anything, I wish we had more time in the desert.

This tour was an amazing way to see more of the Moroccan country and culture. There were many stops along the way and local tour guides would provide great history and information along the way. The camel ride through the desert was a once in a life time experience! It was beautiful seeing the desert during sunset and sunrise while on a camel ride. Our driver Abderrahim was very friendly and made us feel safe throughout the experience.

This was truly an amazing trip, what an experience! Many thanks to our tour guide Adil and our driver Abdou. The whole trip was an experience we will never forget. We were taken care of from start to finish. Adel is such a kind and friendly person, and it was a pleasure to spend three days with him. We would definitely recommend this trip.
