Amazing experience in the Sahara desert - Our trek through the Moroccan desert was absolutely magical, and we owe it all to the incredible team that guided us. From the very first step into the golden dunes to the peaceful sunsets under acacia trees, every moment was perfectly organized and deeply moving. The landscapes were breathtaking — vast sandy expanses, dramatic dunes, and even surprising patches of green contrasting with the desert. Our guides were not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but also warm, attentive, and always ready to share stories and laughter. The logistics (meals, camp setup, camels, pacing of the trek) were flawless. Riding camels, walking together under the endless blue sky, and sharing quiet moments at dusk created memories that will stay with us forever. A huge thank you to the whole team for making this adventure so authentic, safe, and soul-stirring. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a true desert experience!

Best Experience in Morocco - I went on a desert tour organized by Sahara Vibe. Abdellah, the owner of the company was in contact with us since we were in Lisbon to organize everything. He met us in Marrakech where it all started, then we headed all the way to M’Hamid with him. From there, we crossed the desert to Erg Zahar with three very special people: Abdellah, his uncle (known as “Chef”), and Said. Abdellah took care of everything with professionalism and kindness. He was with us from the start in Marrakech until the very end, always attentive, and supportive. We felt safe and well taken care in every step of the way. “Chef”, Abdellah’s uncle, is a true desert nomad — charismatic, full of humour, and deeply rooted in the desert’s way of life. Said was incredibly friendly, full of energy and always ready to help. One of the highlights was watching him bake bread in the sand — an unforgettable moment. The food prepared by Chef and Said was always amazing. The journey to Erg Zahar was more than a tour — it was a cultural, human, physical and emotional immersion. The landscape was breathtaking, but it was the people who made it truly special. I completely recommend this experience to anyone looking for something real, far from the usual tourist routes. It’s a memory I’ll carry with me forever.

Unforgettable 5-Day Desert Trek – A Life-Changing Experience! - I just returned from an incredible 5-day trekking tour through the desert, and I can honestly say it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the beauty of the desert landscape left me speechless every single day. A huge thank you to our amazing guide, Abdullah, who made the entire journey truly special. His knowledge of the desert, calm presence, and warm personality created a sense of trust and comfort that allowed us to fully enjoy every moment. He shared stories, explained the local culture, and made sure we were always safe and well taken care of. Abdullah's team deserves just as much praise – they were kind, hardworking, and always ready with a smile. From setting up camp each evening to preparing delicious meals under the stars, they went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy. This tour wasn’t just a physical journey – it was emotional, spiritual, and incredibly inspiring. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a deeper connection with nature, culture, and themselves. Thank you, Abdullah and team, for memories that will stay with me forever!

Unique experience in the desert! - I recently went on an absolutely extraordinary five-day trekking tour in the desert with Abdellah and his family, which will remain in my positive memory for a long time to come. The atmosphere was simply magical – honesty and reliability seemed to be the only energy that made this journey possible. Abdellah is a real expert on the local desert landscape, and thanks to him we have seen the area in a completely new light. He took us to places so remote and beautiful that we felt like we were in paradise. And his family's cooking skills? Just delicious! The bread that was baked over the campfire thrilled us all. An absolute highlight was experiencing their teamwork together during an unexpected sandstorm. The professionalism and sovereignty with which they mastered the situation were simply impressive. I can only recommend Abdellah and his family if you want to experience a real and authentic desert experience.

Amazing trip - The tour was undoubtedly the highlight of our holiday in Morocco. Our time in the desert, both day and night, left us with unforgettable memories. We journeyed slowly by camel and sped up by 4x4 through the vast savannah and desert, experienced a brief sandstorm, and watched the sunset from the stunning Zahar dune, where we gazed out over a seemingly endless sea of dunes. We also tried sandboarding and enjoyed a magical night at a desert camp, complete with fire, candles, and music. Throughout, we were treated to delicious meals and exceptional hospitality from Abdellah and his two friends. Abdellah stood out as an incredibly unique individual. Born in the desert, he shares the nomadic culture in an authentic manner. He collaborates responsibly and sustainably with his friends, family, and local businesses. Without a doubt, we'd book with Abdellah again, though next time, we’d make sure to bring more time to fully enjoy the experience. Claudia.
