The experience
Travel to the Sahara with the people who live there
We are a Berber family from Merzouga, and our tours end where we live – in the dunes of Erg Chebbi. That means your desert night is spent in our own camp, with our own team, not a random camp chosen by an agency.
Every tour is private. Your driver picks you up at your riad in Marrakech or Fes and travels at your pace: stop for photos, add a night, take a detour to a village – it is your trip. Along the way you see the High Atlas, Aït Benhaddou, the Dades and Todra gorges, the Draa Valley and the oasis towns of the south.
- Direct booking with the camp owners – no middlemen
- Experienced, multilingual drivers
- Itineraries adapted to your wishes
