True and original Sahara Adventure - The tour was spectacular from the beginning until the end. Starting from Marrakesch, the Guide and real Nomad Ali presented a side of Morocco only a local could possibly do. Through the mountains of the high atlas with stunning views, passing beautiful valleys he taught so much about Morocco, the culture and the different peoples of this amazing country. Arriving in the desert dunes of erg chigagga, you enter another Planet. The Sahara dessert, with the giant dunes is on another level of beautiful and stunning. You experience nomad life in the middle of the dessert with unparalleled hospitality by all the people running the camp. The food was excellent, sleeping under the stars and drinking traditional tea made this trip unforgettable. Thank you Sahara feeling for this experience! I would recommend the tour to everyone. Just bring your sense of adventure with you and you will never forget. Tobias, September 2024

Mega experience! - Mega! We felt very comfortable and Ali is really top- as are the others in the camp who sweeten your day there. The houses are much too warm at night in September - therefore have slept outside. A fantastic experience. Had the second night towards the end even really starry and we could see shooting stars. Food delicious. Dromedar Tour super. The only drawback - there were only two of us in the camp - the day under the tree therefore became a bit boring. The three dromedaries roam freely around the tree and have stolen our cookies. We thought it was really cool. Wild donkeys are also available in the camp - much to Ali’s sorrow - but I thought it was wonderful. And best of all, she is a camp cat who is really very cute. Totally affectionate and cuddly. So who doesn't get Sahara Feeling a Sahara experience which I think grants a good win impression of nomadic life. Highly recommended!

From Ouarzazate to the Erg Chegaga desert. - A very great experience in the desert Erg Chegaga. Ali is a great guide, everything went smoothly! We had several nice stops on the way to the desert. We took off from Ouarzazate. It was a very exciting ride in the air-conditioned 4x4. The camp is very nice and located in the middle of the dunes. Ali is a former nomad and knows the desert very well. The food was delicious and the plumbing clean. Thank you for the lovely experience.

A sunset for eternity - I am thrilled with this tour, I spontaneously decided on a short trip and booked the 4 day tour with Ali. Away from mass tourism I was able to get to know the country, the culture and the nomads, just as I imagined it, Ali organized everything perfectly, in the desert we were able to sleep under the open sky for 2 days and watch the stars. My lasting impression that I will take home with me is the incredible sunset in the dunes, absolutely recommendable.

Unforgettable experience - Very nice tour in the desert. It was absolutely amazing. It’s worth every single penny. I was afraid before going to do something too touristic or fake with fixed stages and without possibility to choose what to do. Ali is a great driver. The riad where we spent the first night was great. Erg Chigaga desert was incredible. The dunes are very nice and close to the camp. The camp is super quiet with all you need. The star glazing amazing. One of the best moment was the picnic in the desert: as easy as unforgettable. Don’t miss the opportunity to feel the Sahara.

Perfect get-away - 3 wonderful days accompanied by Ali, always available and attentive to our needs. The private tour includes a series of stops until arriving at the camp. The structure selected for the first night (in Agdz) was wonderful, as was also the private camp in the desert. Silence and tranquility in front of an exciting expanse of sand. Very happy with this tour!

Family holiday Morocco - Wonderful tour! You get to know the country from a local perspective. The highlight was the desert camp with the dromedary trek. You experience so much on the whole tour and see many cities and can experience the culture. Ali is a very nice and experienced guide. I would do it again anytime!

Amazing exploration of Marocvo - It was an amazing trip. Ali showed us lots of places we wouldn’t have found on our own and was very nice. He individualised the program and asked us what we wanted to see. It was a really great trip and I especially liked the desert and the camp at Chigaga.
