Superb.
Everything went very well despite the journey being quite long (8h outward and 8h return). On the way out, it goes rather quickly because there is a lot of stop and the landscapes are magnificent while the return goes less quickly. We arrive at the bivouac camp in dromedaries and we enjoy the sunset from the top of the dunes. It’s incredible. Of course, the camp is not in the middle of the desert and close enough to a road, however, it is quickly forgotten with this idyllic setting.

Perfect Job and Highly Recommended.
the driver was helpful, friendly and caring. We were in really good Hands. The stops for lunch are well picked, even if they are at touristy spots. The Riads we slept in are Beautiful and the hosts very friendly. Highlight was the first stop in the Valley of Roses where the Berber hosts played their traditional Music for us. Many Thanks ELT.

Great guys.
An impressive experience. Ibrahim is linguistically an ace and knew an answer to every question. Even the choice of music in our comfortable Toyota Landcruiser was with us a local experience, this tour is certainly great. The desert night fit so far in the tour not pure, as this of course was already a guided tour event. Still, it was fun and at sunset in the desert there is enough space for everyone to enjoy the quiet (!) Atmosphere in their own way!

glad to be here.
We recommend this trip to anyone who is ready to immerse himself in a different culture, who wants to see landscapes whose beauty takes your breath away and who wants to get to know a country through the people who are allowed to call it their home. Recommendation: Feel free to take into account the peculiarities of the country, e.g. singing around the campfire in the evening. ! Great price!
