Incredible Sahara experience - We had a fantastic time on our trip into the Moroccan Sahara with Brahim and his team. The sight of the sand dunes was absolutely spectacular and we had lots of fun exploring and playing in the sand. Looking up at the stars from around the fire at night was truly magical. Brahim is a very knowledgeable guide and always on hand to answer any questions we had about our surroundings. The food also deserves a mention as it was fantastic and plentiful with tea and snacks in between meals as well. Brahim and his team were also able to cater to our vegetarian and vegan dietary requirements and the meals were all restaurant standard or better!

A fantastic experience we will never forget! - This experience was truly unforgettable, from the food to the dunes to the accommodation! everything was spectacular we felt so welcomed and taken care of during our trip to the Sahara desert and WOW what a beautiful place it was! We highly recommend anyone thinking of going to the Sahara desert to go with a professional guide, to get the ultimate traditional experience, filled with knowledge of the landscape and culture and is also a great entertainer, like Brahim. We miss it already and wish we never left, what a magical place and experience we had in the Sahara.

Sahara memories for life - I did a Sahara desert tour to Erg Chegaga, not so far from Brahim’s home in Zagora. What makes the whole experience really special is that Brahim comes from generations of Berber and Amazigh culture, so the tour is as authentic as it can get. Highlights for me were sand boarding, camel riding, star gazing and the amazing Tajine from the camp chef. For the price, I think it is great value and a must-do for anyone visiting Morocco.

Amazing adventure in the Sahara - An amazing experience! We went three days and two nights into the desert. Brahim made sure we had everything taken care of and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. This trip was everything you would want in a Sahara adventure. We rode on camels, we went sandboarding, we slept under the stars, we hiked in the sand dunes, we had some amazing sunsets, and geat food. There was even some Berber magic. If you are a thrill seeker and are looking for a unique desert experience, this is the trip for you. Brahim will make sure you enjoy yourself and get the true Sahara desert experience. Do yourself a favor and book with trip. You will not be disappointed.

Unforgettable experience! Don't hesitate to have it! - If you come to Morocco and are planning to visit the Sahara desert then this is your way. I've been warned many times about the scams occurring in Marrakech in which they take you to other parts of the desert which are not as special and amazing to where Brahim guides you. The whole thing was perfect: having lunch in a local Berber family house and sharing their culture the first day, riding with the camels through the desert to the first camp, sleeping under the stars, sandboarding, campfire, traditional music, sunset and sunrise on the huge sand dunes and much more. Both of the camps are really nice and can meet up your needs. Comfortable beds, showers, toilets and restaurant tent were available. Brahim is a great guide with lots of knowledge and patience which makes it a great person to organize this experience. Anything you need, you just ask him and he'll try to solve it for you. As well he could adapt the trip itinerary or details if you ask in advance. Typical meals were included and served which I appreciated very much. The camps are big enough for you to walk aroung or choose to be by yourself of you want to. I shared my trip with a Canadian fellow and a French couple and had a great time with all of them! I definitely recommend this experience to everyone: solo travelers, couples or families. You will love this trip and the incredible Sahara Desert energy.

unique and adventurous experience! - I recommend this trip to all those who want to see untouched nature and really immerse themselves in Moroccan (amazigh) culture away from tourist places! There is a lot to discover around Zagora and with Brahim you have the best guide in the region at your side! He takes such good care of you, is a very pleasant person, he is good at communicating and can answer all your questions for sure! I did the 2 day trip to the Zagora desert. We started with an adventurous bike ride and then I continued on a camel. When I arrived at the bivouac, I got tea, watched the sunset and later in the evening I got a delicious meal (salat, tajine and fruits). The nights there are incredibly beautiful - silence and a sky full of stars (you can sleep outside under the stars or in the bivouac)! It was a unique, adventurous and beautiful experience!

Perfect Sahara desert experience far off all tourist tracks! - We had an awesome time & trip with Brahim! Brahim is a great & certificated tour guide and we had perfect 3 days and 2 nights in the Sahara desert together. First, we met in Zagora at his house and had a warm welcoming. We met his family and had a very tasty & traditional lunch together. Afterward, we started our way to the desert. After 1,5 hours driving, we hopped on camels and enjoyed the ride for 2 hours in the dunes, sunset and to our camp for the first night. We had a decent & fresh dinner - he made an extra Stopp to get some camel meet for the tajine - and then we slept first outside under the stars and later in the very cosy tents. The second day, we starters after breakfast to a nomad camp and had a tea with the people living there together. Afterwards, we drove to our camp, chilled during the day, enjoying fresh food and waiting for the sun to get little less hot. Then, we did some Sandboaeding and walked up the dunes to have a perfect sunset right on top of the sand-dunes! The night fished off with a tasty dinner, a camp fire and traditional Berber music by the camp guys & Brahim. The last day started with a nice view on the sunrise sitting on the dunes, tasty breakfast (omelette, fruits, bread, jam) and the drive home. All in all a perfect desert experience far off all tourist-tracks with awesome views, great food, a night unter the stars and a perfect guide. Thank you very much, Brahim!!

Incredible desert stay - We had a wonderful time in the desert at 2 different camps with Brahim. He was an excellent host and guide. Picked us up at the airport and had a family lunch prepared by his wife. The food was delicious at the camps and tents comfortable. It was incredible being in the serenity of the desert. With no worries. We were taken care of well and got the best of all worlds with camel ride in then keep rides after with stops along the way. Thank you Brahim a wonderful memory
