Very serious about his profession, highly recommended, and an even better guy. I heartily suggest him, along with the night in the desert and the few days of our meeting his family. I appreciate the opportunity.

We only have three days left of our vacation in Marrakesh, so we chose to spend one of them in the Merzouga desert. Although it was far, it was worthwhile! The Sahara Desert adventure is a memorable one. Every detail was ideal! An additional mention for our driver Ali, who made the trip short and safe and was really courteous, amiable, and professional.
