Reviews3 Day Desert Voyage to the Sahara Incredible three day journey. The drive takes about 12 hours to the desert but is broken into 2-3 hour increments. Shoutout to Abdel, he was the driver for the van and was with us all three days. Truly a hell of an experience for the price. I went solo and still managed to meet dozens of amazing people! 10/10Callum F2023-06-19Best trip with Hicham Excellent! All the accolades go to our exceptional guide, Hicham Eddie, who is truly one of a kind. His infectious smile and laughter made the trip incredibly enjoyable and lighthearted. He went above and beyond by assisting us in planning our itinerary, organizing a shuttle for us from Ouarzazate directly to Agadir. Furthermore, his unmatched driving skills ensured a safe and smooth journey.Hicham displayed perfect time management, allowing us to fully enjoy each stop without ever feeling rushed. The accommodations provided were very comfortable, and it's worth mentioning that all the hotels had swimming pools, so don't forget to bring your bathing suits. The selected restaurants offered a wide range of dining options, including buffets and à la carte menus with vegetarian choices.The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly our stay in the desert. Words and pictures cannot fully capture the sheer beauty and mesmerizing atmosphere of this place.As a Moroccan living abroad and a fully pledged traveler, this experience was truly a unique and unforgettable moment for me. I am extremely grateful to have shared it with Hicham and the rest of the crew!P.S : the color of the pool at La Source hotel is due to the sand, not algae hahaZakarya2023-06-10Gerne wieder Wunderbar organisierte Tour.

Les paysages sont à couper le souffle sur tout le trajet, ce qui rend la route plus agréable.Un grand merci à Moustapha-Agadir, notre chauffeur qui a rendu notre trajet très agréable de part sa gentillesse, son professionnalisme et sa disponibilité.Mazarine N2023-06-05Fuimos al Sáhara? El conductor Mohamed Ben Haddou dio inicio a esta experiencia irrepetible, muy amable, educado y siempre dispuesto a ayudarnos y a enseñarnos más por allá donde hemos ido.Lo peor de esta ruta es que casi no estás en el Sáhara, llegamos sobre las 16h y nos hicieron descansar hasta las 18h que es cuando cogimos los camellos. Hicimos una ruta con ellos para ver el amanecer y hacernos fotos, en ese momento toda la ruta había valido la pena.La ruta en sí no está mal, pero tened en cuenta que hay que pagar la entrada de los sitios aunque ponga incluido, hay que pagar a los guías y donde te hacen comprar siempre son los precios más caros.Sokaina B2023-06-05Merzouga Una experiencia única, 💯 recomendable y vale la pena todo el trayecto para llegar al desierto, el trato de la gente y los guías es fenomenal, atentos , amables y respetuosos! El camino se nos hizo más ameno con la compañía del conductor Mohamed ben Haddou es un 10/10 , hizo todo el posible para que estemos lo más cómodos y satisfechos todos los pasajeros en todo momento!Amal E2023-06-05Opinión La experiencia ha sido única e irrepetible.
