Great travel at the desert! - Great trip with friends! Had a great time with our tour guide and well informed. The driver is really good at his job as well! We’ll recommend to other people! Great company of people as well which we are really feel blessed and welcome 😊 youll experience the desert trip you really want 😁 Enjoy the camel ride! But I recommend if you are going back from the night at the desert, do the quad bike, it will give you the chance to take some photos in the dunes in the morning 😁

SAHARA DREAM - Exciting experience! Our guides took us to incredible and out-of-this-world places...The best part, however, was the experience in the dunes of Merzouga where we really enjoyed a bit of life in the Sahara, between camel rides and the chance to explore the dunes with Quads! What can I say... there are no words to explain these emotions!

Highly recommended - I was on a similar tour years ago but this time I chose the best not only for price but also for the quality of service and attention. This tour is very complete, a very good experience, from the moment the service is selected since they offer all the information from the first moment. The guides are super friendly, speak several languages, and are always attentive to the entire group. On the tour they make stops at places to learn about their culture and the best of their gastronomy. Highly recommended Very good atmosphere, respectful and fun
