This was such an...

This was such an incredible tour! We had Ouhmadodriss as a driver and he was so friendly, hospitable, and helpful. He did a wonderful job transporting us, making stops, and making sure we were cared for. Every tour guide was so kind and the views and experiences were unforgettable. The van was clean and comfortable, and the route was very well planned. Would HIGHLY recommend booking this trip:)

Good experience

There was a lot of waiting time on the tour to the dessert but it was all worth it when we came to the dessert and checked in at the camp in Sahara. Our guide Khalid was very nice and took care of all of us and if I should go on this trip again I would like to have Khalid as my guide.
