Let's do it again! - The landscape to reach the dunes changed from black rock to palm tree oasis's - so varied and beautiful. The desert camp was so quiet and peaceful. Dinner was excellent and evening campfire with drums and songs was a wonderful cultural experience. Viewing the stars at night was incredible. Accommodations were great. Mohammed and Younes were excellent and safe drivers. Younes was also an excellent tour guide; relaxed, informative, and served to make our trip what we wanted it to be. I would highly recommend not only this trip but the company for other tours.

One night in Erg Chigaga - I liked the tranquility of the place, but also the visits and excursions in the dunes. The simple life of people from the south, far from the exuberance of the big cities of northern Morocco.
