Unforgettable adventure in the desert - I had an incredible experience on Brahim on his Sahara tour. I will never forget the beauty of the Sahara and the rugged African landscapes in every direction. I can cross camel ridding off of my bucket list! I went as a female solo traveler and always felt very safe and comfortable. The accommodation is very comfortable, with spacious tents and full beds and cozy blankets. You can also choose to set up a futon mattress with your blankets and sleep under the stars which I absolutely recommend if the weather allows it. All of the guides/crew are local Amazigh (Berber) and their hospitality is unmatched. They played the drums for us around the fire every night and even taught us some rhythms. They are very flexible and willing to move the itinerary around for guests preferences, just ask. I learned so much about the history and culture of the desert and Draa Valley region of Morocco. I got to see lots of wild life on our Jeep Safari. There are ostriches, gazelle, oryx, donkeys, camels, and goats all being protected in their desert habitat. Thank you for everything Brahim, Shukran!!

Unforgettable experience in the Sahara with our great guide Brahim - Our trip through the Moroccan Sahara was an unforgettable adventure - mainly thanks to our wonderful guide Brahim. From the very beginning, he looked after us with a lot of heart and commitment, giving us exciting insights into the desert and the local culture. He also made sure that we felt comfortable and safe at all times. --- Trip --- The trip was very varied: Day 1: We started from Mhamid. We were able to park our rental car at a camp nearby. First we rode camels for about 2 hours through the breathtaking dune landscape to the first camp. After a welcome drink, we explored the surrounding area and were able to take lots of great photos. The sunset was also magnificent. For dinner, we had the typical Moroccan tajin with vegetables and chicken. Very tasty. Together with the other travelers and staff from the camp, there was musical entertainment around the campfire afterwards. Day 2: The next day we explored a section of the desert on foot - an intense, quiet and impressive experience. After about 1 - 2 hours, an off-road vehicle picked us up and we drove through the Moroccan steppe, encountering an ostrich at close range and a huge herd of dromedaries. The second camp was slightly larger and was located deep in the Moroccan desert. Surrounded by sand dunes. The silence and the trickling of the sand were particularly impressive. On arrival, we were still alone in the camp and were served a super hearty lunch of pasta, salads and vegetables. Afterwards, we explored the surrounding area. We had to be very careful here, as the camp was no longer visible after a dune. Brahim took us to the highest dune in the vicinity before dinner. A very overwhelming and respect-inspiring view. Day 3: On the last day, we returned to Mhamid by off-road vehicle after breakfast. --- Accommodation --- The accommodation in the camps was comfortable and lovingly furnished, the transportation went smoothly and we had plenty of opportunities to take great photos. --- Food --- In our opinion, one of the best tajins we ate in Morocco. The portions were generous and very tasty. Even my partner got her money's worth despite her food allergies. --- Conclusion --- If you want to experience the Sahara up close and authentically, we can only warmly recommend this tour - especially with Brahim as your guide!

An unforgettable experience with Cimes et Dunes. - We had a wonderful experience with Cimes et Dunes. We are a family traveling in Morocco and it was a real pleasure to meet another family passionate about what it does. Brahim has a lot of experience and made us feel great from the start. Everything was perfectly organized, with a warm, close and authentic treatment. We recommend this family business without hesitation!

A magical break in the Moroccan desert - Great experience! We are really delighted with these 3 days / 2 nights in the Moroccan desert. Thanks to Brahim for accompanying us in the discovery of these magnificent landscapes, which we explored on a camel and in 4x4. Three days out of time, in an almost absolute calm, the desert as far as the eye can see... We had the chance to witness one of the most beautiful sunsets in the dunes of the Sahara, to run down the sandy slopes (beware Brahim runs fast;) ) or snowboard, to the delight of the children, to enjoy delicious local meals in the tent and live an evening of traditional music around a campfire. The welcome is really friendly. Beyond sharing the Berber culture, Brahim showed the children a traditional nomadic game (away from tablets), a game that they will definitely do again! The tents for the night were simple but very comfortable – what a surprise to find real beds in the desert! We have great memories of our trip to Morocco (and 1 ton of photos), this desert trek was really an inseparable part of our trip. To do absolutely!

unique Sahara tour with great guide - In March 2025 I visited the Sahara with my girlfriend. Hiring Brahim as a guide was a great decision. Brahim organized a taxi from Mhamid to the starting point for us at quite short notice and accompanied us the entire time since. We started around 4pm with a 2h camel ride to the first desert camp. There, a fancy tent awaited us, with clean paramedic facilities and very delicious food. The staff on site were friendly and respectful. In the evening there was music with a hands-on chance. On the second day we continued with a car, a small safari tour with lots of information and spectacular scenery. Finally we arrived at the second camp in Erg Chegaga. There it was again very pleasant with delicious lunch & dinner. Both camps had a chilled tea tent and boards for sandboarding. In the evening Brahim took us to the largest dune to view the landscape and the sunset. The next day we went back to the starting point, we arrived at around 12 noon. Overall, we felt very well looked after with Brahim. We learned a lot about the culture of the Berbers, The Sahara and his life story. He was able to answer all our questions in English. It was a wonderful experience and recommended it to others.

Incredible non-touristic experience in the desert - We feel so lucky having booked the desert tour with Brahim. He is such a nice person to be around. Brahim likes sharing his knowledge about the Berber culture, the desert and the Moroccan life in general. He helped us be a part of the Berber culture for 3 days and not in a touristy, but in a genuine kind of way. Brahim and our 4x4 driver were able to show us many animals like ostriches, donkey and oryx herds. They managed to get us as close as 2 meters, which was just incredible. The camps had such a nice atmosphere and were far away from any roads and the civilization of other camps. We had a variety of authentic and very tasty food, which also met our dietary restrictions (vegetarian) without a problem. The staff was very welcoming and kept looking after us so we had everything we needed. Especially Rachid, with his positive energy, took great care of us and the other visitors in our second camp. We highly recommend staying at least two nights to make sure you can experience life far away from any civilization. This tour is worth every Penny - you support the local people and you get everything you can expect from a desert tour and more!

A great time in the desert with Brahim - We had a great experience over the three days and really appreciated Brahim and the others that guided us. Brahim was welcoming, genuine, accommodating and proud to show off his region. We were met with a heavy winds and a rain shower (yes, in the desert) just before starting so Brahim and his colleagues adapted the plan for comfort and safety. Both camps exceeded our expectations for their comfort. The sleeping tents were spacious with very comfortable beds, electric lights and floor rugs. There was a dining tent (the restaurant) and a shaded shelter at each camp as well as outdoor eating spaces. We could choose where to eat depending on the weather including wind (blowing sand is not fun when you are eating) and heat. We saw eagles, oryx and an ostrich as well as as surprising number of birds. Our highlight, in addition to riding camels, was a hike across the desert, seeing its diverse life up close. All in all this was a truly enjoyable adventure
