Traveler reviews
make sure to read past participants comments to prep for the tour
Staff - 10/10 Our guide Idriss and the driver Mazozi were kind, they took a good care of us. Definitely the highlight of the trip. Overall experience 7/10 Good for those who r into some adventures and the experience do be humbling. I’d recommend reading past participants comments and prepare well before the tour. As mentioned in other comments, we encountered tourist trap restaurants and stores. Highly recommend bringing 3-days worth of snacks and water which is what I did to skip tourist trap lunch. The first hotel had running hot water but the electricity went out for a bit during the stay, and definitely didn’t give us enough food for dinner and breakfast. The desert camp is something you’ll have to prepare yourself mentally. I stayed in the standard tent and there was no electricity equipped and no heater so it was cold. Might wanna bring extra extra extra layers. I brought my own portable phone charger so it was aight but I noticed that other participants were complaining that there was nowhere to charge their phones.
Good 7.5/10
Good tour overall. Driver Mohamed Talaoul was friendly and gave us wifi in the car. Lux camp was quiet due to low season and camel ride was also good.
Mohammed Talaoul Number 1
Mohammed Talaoul was a Great Guide!! Very patient and accommodating!! Loved the food. The different landscapes and climate were crazy!!
Great Experience!
The tour was very complete. We were always active with all the activities included in the package, and we also had enough time to rest and enjoy a few optional activities that we decided to book. I want to highlight and thank our driver, Mohamed Talaoul — he was attentive, kind, and fun throughout the entire trip. He truly made our experience even better. I also want to thank Omar, who stayed in constant communication with me through WhatsApp. He was extremely kind and always answered my questions promptly.
Excellent driver
Our driver, Mohamed Bakhouz was a very skilled driver. He cared for us and made exceptions to stop for toilet breaks during the long drives. He is very warm and cheerful despite having to drive so much. This driver is highly recommended. Thank you Mohamed for everything
