Everything was well organized and on time. Mohamed is a very safe and relaxed driver. I usually get sick on the road but felt comfortable even on winding roads.

Our guide, Mubarak, was truly exceptional and inspiring. Despite having never left Merzouga, he impressively speaks English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and even Japanese! WOW! 😲 The only downside I can mention is that at night, when the sandstorms hit, the tent roof can be quite loud and disruptive. I found myself waking up every couple of hours. However, the overall experience was still unforgettable! 🤗”
