Truly amazing!!! As exceptional as I imagined ✨ the organization was very well done and we were able to have transport from our hotel El Mouradi Douz directly. We even got dropped off by camel directly at the hotel at the end. About 6 hours of dromedary in total, 2 hours in the morning, rest at the camp at noon, 2 hours at sunset that is too magnificent and then a small party by the fire. The starry sky and even shooting stars the next morning wake up at 6:30 to admire the sunrise, breakfast and hop another 2 hours of dromedary to the hotel! We even stopped “picking” sand roses! The whole team were very warm, attentive and smiling. A beautiful energy emerges from them ✨ To do absolutely!!! Worth the expense, lifetime memories (and lots of great photos) and one less thing on the bucketlist ✌️

The pickup at the hotel was right on time, which was a great start! We were driven to the point where we met Abdul, our guide, and our camels. The three hour camel ride to the camp was amazing - so peaceful. The camp was very well equipped and they did everything to make sure we were comfortable, including setting up beds outside, so we could sleep under the stars. The evening camel ride into the dunes was again wonderful, though very different from the morning ride. On our turn, we watched the traditional bread being cooked, followed by a delicious dinner. After a great night under the stars, we enjoyed a camel ride back to the pick up point.

Excellent organization, everyone is very caring and the staff seem to appreciate their work very much and it shows in lots of little details. The camel drivers are particularly charming. The camp is equipped with adequate sanitary facilities, the food is good and the tents are very comfortable. In the evening there was a fire and a trio of musicians playing traditional music. I highly recommend.

Very good in relation to the cost, the camel driver Abdullah very focused on having a good time and the organizer of the camp helped me get transportation to the activity and then to my next destination. Highly recommended.

We had a great time! Everything was organized well and all people were super nice! Can recommend this tour!
