“A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience – Thank You, Omar! I can't recommend Omar Faiz's Sahara Desert tour enough. From start to finish, it was a magical, unforgettable journey. Omar is not only an incredibly knowledgeable guide but also a warm, generous host.”

MartinFrance

“The activity was amazing — such a great experience! And I had the best driver ever. Issaaka was the best!”

NikolasAllemagne

“Une expérience incroyable de Marrakech jusqu’à Merzouga. Les paysages de l’Atlas, les kasbahs et les gorges du Todra étaient magnifiques. Mais le moment le plus magique reste le coucher de soleil sur les dunes, suivi d’une nuit dans le camp du Sahara sous un ciel rempli d’étoiles.”

Claire MoreauFrance

“Eine fantastische Reise von Marrakesch nach Merzouga. Die Fahrt durch das Atlasgebirge war wunderschön und die verschiedenen Landschaften machten jeden Abschnitt interessant. Besonders beeindruckend war der Sonnenuntergang in den Erg-Chebbi-Dünen und die Übernachtung im Wüstencamp.”

Julia MeierAllemagne

“Un viaggio indimenticabile nel cuore del Marocco. Ho apprezzato moltissimo le montagne dell'Atlante, Aït Benhaddou e le gole del Todra, ma il vero momento clou è stato arrivare a Merzouga. Il giro in cammello al tramonto e la notte nel deserto sono stati semplicemente fantastici.”
