Great excursion

Anthony_D, Apr 2024
Great trip in desert (not sand dunes really) with camel ride. Beautiful scenery throughout the trip. Hike to the waterfall was an adventure. Lovely lunch and tea. All around delight.

Amazing

Shubhangi_P, Mar 2024
Amazing trip- very well organised and led by Abdullah Aziz. So much cultural immersion, truly a must do!

Guide & sunset

Jaana_H, Feb 2020
Excellent guide and good service. Beatiful views and nice walk after the lunch. Beautiful sunset. Good car.

Une expérience pleine de richesses !

Chloe_M, Sep 2024
Journée dans les montagnes plutôt que dans le désert. Balade à chameau disponible mais nous n’avons pas fait. Les endroits dans lesquels le guide nous a emmené étaient chargés d’histoire et c’était vraiment intéressant de pouvoir découvrir et partager avec lui. Pour la route, il ne faut pas être malade en voiture ni avoir peur de l’altitude !

Sehr ereignisreicher Tagesausflug mit vielen Erlebnissen - sehr zu empfehlen

Gerald_M, Apr 2024
Sehr detailreicher Tagesausflug: Agafay-Wüste, Kamelreiten, Frauen-Kooperative (Öle und Parfum), Berbermarkt, Mittagessen im Gebirge inklusive, kleiner Wasserfall - zudem sehr preiswert.
