I went on this trip with a group of friends and our time far exceeded any expectations I had. The desert in its natural beauty was breathtaking, and being able to ride ATVs and ride camels through the Sahara at sunset will be experiences I’ll never forget. Our guide Ali was the best, he was extremely friendly and very informative to any questions we had about not only our stay but the culture as well. All in all an unforgettable experience that I couldn’t recommend more to someone else.
