Reviews from TripAdvisor
The best Berbers in the desert
"100X100 recommended, Both Hassan and Hamid amazing, has not been my first experience but if the best, you live exactly what life is in the desert and I will definitely repeat with them I have no doubt. He offered us at home a real Berber meal, very hospitable family. We adore you"

Excellent trip from Sahara to Marrakech
"We had an absolutely unforgettable experience on our route through Morocco, thanks to our guide Hassan, who not only showed us spectacular places, but also opened the doors of his house and got to know the authentic Berber culture. It's a lovely family"
