3 day tour with Khalid

My friends and I had one of the best experiences with the 3 day tour. Everyone was very nice and the guide spoke great English. Khalid was our guide; he was very welcoming and honest with all of our questions. Great guide!

Amazing experience for budget price.

Our guides Idris and another were really nice and brought us safely from one to another place. They also made sure that everybody was happy and doing well during the ride. The trip itself was what you payed for. The first hotel night was a very basic hotel where the electricity went out at night and we therefore had no airconditioning in 30 degrees. The people from the hotel were really nice though and made our night with berber music on the guitar and tambourines on the rooftop terrace. The second night was in the desert camp which was closer to the town than we expected. We thought it wouldve been more in the Sahara. Before and after the camp we had the possibility to shower in the hotel where de guides stayed which was pleasant. The camp itself had water and regular toilets but no shower and no plugs for charging so thats something to keep in mind. Also keep in mind that only 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners are included. On the first day you need to bring breakfast or buy some at the first stop. The lunches were around 120 dh which included a warm meal and a drink. Also know that some tips for the guides add up. These things aside we thought that is was the most amazing experience we’ve ever had and visiting the Sahara is definitaly worth it! If we would have the possibility to do it over we would for sure do it again. Just keep in mind that you pay for a budget tour so you get a budget tour but still our drivers were amazing and made the experience so much better.
