The 3-day Sahara trip exceeded all expectations! The landscapes were breathtaking, our guide was knowledgeable and friendly, and the desert camp experience was magical. Watching the sunset and sunrise over the dunes was unforgettable. The camel ride, the starry night, and the Berber music made this an authentic Moroccan adventure. Highly recommend!
