No information, no decoration, average dinner with minimal flavour

JuinKai_C, May 2024

The tour operator really missed an opportunity here. We booked a standard camp. The camps were nice and clean, but the food was average, very little instruction or direction around what's happening or what's next, the camel ride almost 2 hours and the guides didn't seem to ask much about our comfort. We had very little information about the itinerary or timing and guides spoke little English. The camps had a lot of opportunity to give a more authentic and tradition experience but unfortunately that was not the case.

Amazing Desert Safari

An amazing experience to enjoy the desert safari. Everything was perfect. From pickup location, camel ride, campsite and food.

Amazing and life-time experience

Not recommended tour

Paul_T, Oct 2023

We had booked one night at the desert camp. I cannot recommend to do the tour with this company. We basically received no information during the tour about what’s next etc., the food was mediocre and most importantly, especially the bathroom was one of the most disgusting places I’ve ever seen on my travels. The desert itself is great and definitely worth a visit.

Adventure for all people

Beutiful place with great people. Desert can be a little cleaner, but another things were very good for us. Sunrise and sunset, camels, tent and a place around tents, dinner, breakfast, toilets with hot water, comfortable bed with blanket - it was very good!

Beautiful discovery

Patrice_C, May 2025

Very friendly experience, very pleasant guide, beautiful evening in the desert, beautiful welcome, large room in tent

Super excursion ! Super balade à dromadaire, animaux bien traités qui plus est. Activité sandboard géniale !!! Merci à Hassan qui nous a bien fait rire Nuit en tente "luxe" incroyable, équipements de qualité tout confort, le dîner et le petit déjeuner étaient excellents et copieux. Chants et danses berbères super sympa le soir. Vraiment je vous recommande, de tout notre séjour c'est notre meilleure journée. Merci à toute l'équipe pour leur accueil et gentillesse

Magnifique!

Magnifique! Tout était parfait: le 2h de dromadaire dans les dunes de sable, l’arrêt pour regarder le coucher du soleil, le campement, le souper et la musique des tamtams joués par les bédouins!

Wundervolles einzigartiges Erlebnis!

Ich würde diese Tour auf jeden Fall empfehlen! Ich wurde vorab per Whatsapp kontaktiert, um Treffpunkt mitzuteilen. Alle Angestellten waren super freundlich, wir saßen insgesamt bestimmt 3h auf dem Kamel, hatten genügend Zeit den Sonnenuntergang zu sehen. Das Camp war sauber, Abendessen und Frühstück lecker und reichhaltig. Es wurden zusätzliche Optionen angeboten (anschließende Besichtigungen etc.), aber es war kein Problem, das wir diese nicht machen wollten. :) Alles in allem super - ich würde die Tour wieder hier buchen!
