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.

Highlight our Merzouga trip - This was the highlight of our Merzouga stay. Said is a great tour guide, not pushy in any way whatsoever. We liked that he communicated by WhatsApp and lets you customise the tour for what you want to do. Although it was 3 hours, there was no rush and it was closer to 4 hours. Said genuinely loves being out in the dunes, and it shows. Fully recommended

Stunning 3 hour roundtrip trough merzouga - It was a very good experience for a cheap price, if you visit merzouga you have to do the 3 h Trip to actually see everything. We also had a very delicious meal, in the end the trip was like 4 hours. Our guide was very friendly and experienced and after the tour we had a quad tour in the sunset. Recommended!
