Lovely experience

Published on Dec, 2022

This trip was a lovely experience to get familiar with Sachara desert beautiful ecosystem, local people and culture. We've visited different parts of the desert, gorgeous sand dunes, places with fossils and excavation of minerals, the Beduins nomad camp where we ate delicious local food and drank tea. We've also seen how the gardens are grown in the desert, which is quite amazing. African music and food at the local restaurant were also great. Our guide Said was very welcoming and knowledgible. It was a wonderful day.

Perfect tour through Sahara region in Morroco.
