What travellers actually say

Worth it if you value expert local guides and curated Sahara stays. Think twice if you dislike long driving days or prefer independent exploration.

  • Guides Ali, Said, Hassan and Hamed consistently went above and beyond—sourcing chemists, adjusting pace for older travellers, finding hidden gems.
  • Overnight glamping in the Sahara with camel rides at sunset is genuinely memorable; worth upgrading for better accommodation quality.
  • Significant daily driving involved to cover Morocco's imperial cities and desert; suits those with stamina, not leisurely pace travellers.
  • Small group or private tours feel personalised; larger groups likely dilute the bespoke service reviewers consistently praised.
