My partner and I did this... - My partner and I did this tour in late July since we were in town for a wedding. Ali was a wonderful guide, and actually opened up the camp just for us! There was no one else since summer is the low season to go to the desert, understandably. It was really hot but Ali made sure we were comfortable on the drive (good AC) and in the desert, where he took us to an oasis during the day for lunch and gave us cold water. The stops along the way to and from the desert were a nice way to break up the drive, and Ali showed us both tourist attractions on the itinerary and things that felt off the beaten path--we really liked visiting the salt mine and seeing Lake Iriki. The highlight of the trip were the sand dunes and vastness of Erg Chigaga. We love the desert and have seen small dunes in the US, but this desert was really breathtaking and definitely worth the trek. The camp is situated right in the dunes, so we easily walked up the dunes to see the sunset. The camp felt very luxurious with the large tents, bathroom facilities, and Omar and Ali making delicious meals for us. At night they pulled out a bed so we could sleep under the stars! We were even lucky enough to see gazelles in the wild, which Ali was searching for us. This was a trip of a lifetime, highly recommended!

Great tour to the Sahara - impressions you will never forget - We drove with Ali, who is also the owner of the organizer, through the Draa Valley on the way to the Sahara and were allowed to see great places away from the tourist streams! Ali is a great, safe very attentive driver who always makes you feel safe. The overnight stay in Agdz at Riad Rose de Sable was great, but the best came then: the Sahara desert...with the ride on dromedaries into the sunset on the dunes and a spectacular starry sky!!! An equally beautiful sunrise followed the next morning.
This tour is highly recommended!
Thanks Ali!!!

Perfect tour to explore the Sahara! - We made a wonderful 3-day tour from Marrakech to the Sahara, with many great stops along the way and a wonderful overnight stay at a camp in the Sahara. Ali is a very attentive host, very good motorist and has told us many things about his home.

Dreamlike desert tour! - We went with Ali from Marrakech to Erg Chigaga and did a super great desert tour there. Then Ali took us, via a dreamlike riad in Taroudant, to Essaouira. Ali is super friendly and very competent. A first-class travel guide.
Sahara Feeling organized a wonderful tour for us.

Diverse, beautiful, adventurous and relaxing journey through Marroco and desse desert - The trip with Ali and Helene as guides was very nice and relaxed. We are from Marrakech by cozy jeep with air conditioning from Ali over 5 days to the sea to Essaouira. From there we went to the desert camp of Ali and his nephews, where we stayed two nights in the wild nature. During the car journeys you could enjoy the varied landscape of the country and use the time to chat and read. Every day, however, there was also enough time at the respective arrival point to look around the respective place. The Ryads booked by Ali were all clean and nice, the owners were all nice and the dinner and breakfast were always included and typical Morrocan and delicious. In the desert, every meal was prepared for us, riding the dromedaries into the desert awake from the camp, where we were prepared a nomadic bread, salad, vegetables and meat prepared in the sand under a large tree. Everything was delicious. We slept in the camp in small mud huts which were very cozy and kept warm. Otherwise there was enough time to enjoy the sun, surf down the dunes with a board and take a walk over the dunes to the highest dune in the desert (400 meters above sea level), from which you could observe further dunes up to the horizon.
Ali was always helpful and always funny and you always felt comfortable with him. In the end, he dropped us off again in Marrakedch in a Ryad he organized for us.
I'd love to go again.

Varied 7-day tour - We did a very nice 7 day tour with Ali. He picked us up on time at our riad in Marrakesh. The whole trip Ali took care of us very professionally and responded to all our wishes. We really enjoyed the beautiful tour and can highly recommend Sahara Feeling.
In the run-up to our trip, Helene informed us well about the different travel options.

Finding serenity in the moroccan desert - Pros:
- Mustafa our driver was very kind, he really took care of us, was a comfortable and save driver and friendly & funny, all the restaurants he chose on the way were good.
- Helene for correspondence was always available when we had any questions.
- The trip to Erg Chigaga was really an unbelievable experience, you definitely have to walk to the highest sand dune their for sunset (they will show you there). After a certain time you really start appreciating the serenity and pristine nature. There were not to many tourists over all.
- the nomads prepared us a tajine and fresh baked bread in the desert, which was one of our best dishes in morocco
Cons:
- the first night we spend in a simple hotel which was not what we expected (Dades Valley), next time we would prefer a small riad over this place. There was one young waiter which was friendly but the other male workes were a bit unfriendly in our opinion. The room was clean, but beds very hard and pillows very thick.

True and original Sahara Adventure - The tour was spectacular from the beginning until the end. Starting from Marrakesch, the Guide and real Nomad Ali presented a side of Morocco only a local could possibly do. Through the mountains of the high atlas with stunning views, passing beautiful valleys he taught so much about Morocco, the culture and the different peoples of this amazing country. Arriving in the desert dunes of erg chigagga, you enter another Planet. The Sahara dessert, with the giant dunes is on another level of beautiful and stunning. You experience nomad life in the middle of the dessert with unparalleled hospitality by all the people running the camp. The food was excellent, sleeping under the stars and drinking traditional tea made this trip unforgettable.
Thank you Sahara feeling for this experience! I would recommend the tour to everyone. Just bring your sense of adventure with you and you will never forget.

Unique experience in the desert with competent management - Very nice trip with great company. Top local knowledge and very friendly. All questions answered about life in Morocco and that of the nomads. Only the proximity of many desert camps I did not expect. Highly recommended!
