Summary:
Visiting the Sahara desert was the cherry on the cake for our Morocco trip, and Mohammed and Sahara Travel Excursions made it possible for us. Despite the rain forecast coming true, we managed to make the most of this desert adventure. The thunderstorm only added to the mood and made it more real. And the tents were magical - perhaps our most luxurious accommodation in Morocco. Mohammed and his team are amazing - they looked after us, fed us, entertained us, made us all dance and Mohammed continued to look after us even the next day when the floods caused a lot of trouble along the way.... Mohammed, thank you for amazing experience! We will be more than happy to meet again!
Greetings,
Petya

Summary:
Beautiful tents with sufficient equipment and hygiene. Good food and lots of things to do. Mohamed immediately made me feel like I was at home. Super friendly host who has a lot of experience and knowledge of life in the desert. Even though I didn't plan much in advance, he took great care of me. One of his ideas was to walk to the old city and nomads. An unforgettable experience where he was able to share a lot of knowledge with me. A host who takes the best care of his guests. An experienced expert with his heart in the right place! Thanks Mohamed for everything!
