Our Customers Reviews
I am very satisfied!
It was an incredible two days journey. In addition to experiencing camels in the Sahara desert, staying in tents, the sunset, the sun, and the starry sky, we were able to take photos at the tourist spots on the road! I was happy because I did everything I wanted to do.
However, Marrakesh from the Sahara has bad road conditions, so if you are prone to get drunk, be sure to drink a sickness stopped. The tent was upgraded and correct.
Very informative guide!
We have the chance to have our excellent trip to the Sahara. The journey has been one of the best experiences in our lives.
