Overview

Please note that in the summer months to ensure you have the most comfortable experience we spend one night in the Berber style camp, start our excursion to the nomads and surrounding area a bit later in the morning and stay the second night in a hotel at the edge of the dunes (Riad Chebbi or similar). We do this so that you have access to aircon and other hotel comforts in the heat of the summer which can sometimes be well over 40°C (100°F)

Our goal is to make sure that every experience we provide is unique and memorable for each of our travellers. We provide thoughtful excursions that are customisable to your interests. We are from Morocco and, specifically, from the desert so we are able to provide you with meaningful information about the culture and history of the areas we travel through and visit.
