Discovering the true desert with Said. - If you want to visit the desert, the real one, go with my friend Said; he was born in the desert and knows how to give you a warm welcome to his land. The car excursion is incredible; you see so many different landscapes, from dunes to the lake with flamingos, from agricultural oases to nomadic villages, concluding in the village of the Gnawa musicians where you can listen to good music and dance! Among all the pit stops, the best was on the dunes; we walked to the highest one to enjoy an incredible view that we will never forget! Said is a very nice, kind, and attentive person; traveling with him was a wonderful experience! To conclude, for a small amount of money, we went to eat a delicious Berber pizza (Italian's word)! Discover the desert with Said; he is the best guide you can have!!!

Tour - Had a good day. We had done everything in the itinerary and had also chosen to sandboard and eat at a restaurant. The sandboarding was a fun experience and the food in the restaurant was the best I've had since I've been in Morocco.

Amazing experience – highly recommended! - Amazing experience – highly recommended! We had a wonderful experience with Sahara Tours. The guide was very kind, professional, and explained everything clearly from start to finish, which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. What really stood out was the hospitality — we were even invited to share couscous together, which was such a warm and genuine gesture. The whole experience felt very personal, not rushed, and truly authentic. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, welcoming, and respectful guide who truly cares about giving you a great experience, I highly recommend Sahara Tours. Thank you for making our time in the desert so memorable!

Varied excursion to the surroundings of Merzouga - Said, an Amazir, gave us a very varied and entertaining morning. Through his detailed knowledge, we have learned much we did not yet know. He knew an answer to every question. There was also no rush, we could take our time at the individual stops. The hotel was picked up on time.

Amazing experience! - Said was very kind to us. They see different parts of the desert and take you with a nomadic family. We get off in the middle of the dunes and it's a magical moment. We contacted the whatsapp number that comes here to organize everything and also made an hour of buggy.
