Such a Beautiful Experience!

Such a beautiful experience. The drive to the Sahara was amazing thanks to our amazing driver Hicham. So many great stops throughout the journey. The camp itself and camel riding was a super adventure and would definitely recommend to anyone!

Such a Great Tour with Amazing Guides

Such a great tour with amazing guides. The drive was long but the coffee breaks and attractions were spaced out perfectly and broke up the long journey. The camp was beautiful, clean, and comfortable and food was delicious!!

Best Communication

We really enjoyed this tour. The communication was one of the best ones I experienced on a tour. From the agency to the tour guides and staff in the camp. Everyone was very nice and friendly and communicated with us on every step of the way. Our guide Saïd was great. He explained everything and was very friendly and helpful along the way.

Once in a Lifetime Trip

We booked a tour for our group of 17 all the way from Mexico City and I must say, it was really a once in a lifetime trip! We spent almost a week with Discover Sahara Tours and they truly deliver a personalized experience! Great accommodations, delicious food, excellent guides (they arranged Spanish speakers for us) and the sites we visited were amazing! We are super grateful with Ismail and his team for this dream trip. Highly recommend! No doubt they are the best to plan your next trip to Morocco

What an Incredible Experience

If you’re thinking of taking this trip I would stop and book. What an incredible experience this has been. I felt totally immersed in this beautiful experience all thanks to our lovely guide Moham. He is the kindest soul who has shown us so much patience and kindness along the way. Get one coffee into him and he will share all the desert secrets there are to share. I left this trip so enriched by this experience. The people at the camp have also been incredible hosts, who made it feel extra special. On this trip I have made friends who I hope to keep in touch with for the rest of my life, a gang of kindred spirits!
