Great experience overall. The pickup was done at their venue in which we were able to safely leave our car. The drive to the desert was interesting. We reached the camp after 2:30-3:00, right before sunset and we went by dromedarie to the dunes. Unbelievable sights and experience. Make sure you catch the sunset at the highest dune. Dinner was fine as well as sleeping accommodations. The only thing holding back the review is that our guide (driver from Zagora to the camp) barely spoke any English, French or Spanish, depriving us of having a guide that shared interesting knowledge with us during our ride to and from the desert.

Awesome overnight trip. We enjoyed the drive from Zagora and into the desert - the pickup was prompt and easy.
The desert experience was incredible - the camel ride to the dunes for sunset (see photos) was interesting, and the dinner & tea was very tradional.
The tent was very well isolated against the cold so we actually had the best night sleep of our trip in the desert! 10/10 reccomend - the pictures don't do it justice. Thanks Ismail, Omar & Rasche..

We started out from Ismails place in Zagora at 1 pm. We had our own car and was able to leave it there safe and secure for the trip.
Our guide Ali provided us with great and interesting knowledge of the area and our driver Ali showed great skills navigating the Sahara to the Berber camp in the desert.
The ride from Zagora to Erg Chigaga took us around 3-4 hours by 4x4.
The Sahara desert is a magical place to be, I can't overstate how much I recommended going there.
We did a one hour camel ride in the sunset, make sure you climb a dune to catch a glimps of the landscape before the sun goes all the way down.
Dinner was provided after sunset, and later gathering around the bonfire. After sunrise and breakfast the next morning we headed back for Zagora, being back around 12 pm.
We had a fantastic trip, huge thanks to Ismail and Team Ali.

We hebben de tour ervaren als een hele bijzondere trip. Alles wat je wilt van een reis naar de sahara! Met name onze gids Abdul was een hele aardige zorgzame gids!
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Bedankt voor je mooie woorden! We zijn blij om te horen dat je de trip naar de Sahara als bijzonder hebt ervaren. Abdul zal het fantastisch vinden om te weten dat hij je reis extra speciaal heeft gemaakt. Hopelijk mogen we je in de toekomst weer verwelkomen voor een nieuw avontuur!

Eine super Erfahrung, die man nur empfehlen kann. Die Tour mit den Dromedaren und das Camp haben uns besonders gut gefallen. Obwohl die Wüste im Juli sehr heiss ist, war es ein angenehmer Ausflug. Wir hatten ausreichend gekühltes Wasser, haben die Abend und Morgenstunden genutzt und unter dem Sternenhimmel geschlafen. Der Treffpunkt ist in einem herzigen Hotel mit Pool. Super, um vor der Tour noch eine kleine Stärkung zu sich zu nehmen und im Pool zu entspannen.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die Dromedar-Tour und das Camp besonders gefallen haben. Auch bei den heißen Temperaturen im Juli ist es schön zu hören, dass Sie den Ausflug genießen konnten und sich gut versorgt fühlten.
Der Sternenhimmel und die entspannenden Stunden im Hotel vor der Tour machen das Erlebnis noch spezieller, und wir freuen uns, dass alles zu Ihrer Zufriedenheit war. Vielen Dank für Ihre Empfehlung, und wir würden uns freuen, Sie bald wieder begrüßen zu dürfen!

Super expérience dans le désert accompagné par rachid. Tout était au top. La randonnée à dos de chameau, la balade sur les dunes, le repas, la soirée musicale au coin du feu. On recommande cette expérience.

Une expérience absolument géniale. Nous avons fait cela en couple et vraiment adoré !
Des paysages à couper le souffle, de la bonne nourriture, un accueil au top…
Merci à Ismaël de nous avoir bien accueilli à Zagora avant le départ.
Côté pratique, il y a un peu de route mais ça se fait très bien et le guide conduisait bien.
Une superbe expérience !!

Consiglio l’esperienza a chi vuole vedere il vero deserto selvaggio. È stata un’esperienza indimenticabile. È una vera avventura ma le guide fanno tutto il possibile per renderla confortevole. Abbiamo cenato benissimo e dato che nelle tende faceva caldo hanno portato i nostri materassi all’esterno e abbiamo dormito sotto le stelle!
Comfort e vera avventura insieme, incredibile!
