ItalyA million reasons to stay and definitely book a tour!
1) Fantastic staff. We were sick and they helped us in every way possible, from driving more slowly to offering a special tea to help our upset stomachs to changing meals last minute
2) Easy to contact, they always responded very quickly, cordially, and in detail. We felt we were in safe hands, which is essential when you're basically trusting someone with your life in an unfamiliar, dangerous environment (the desert)
3) Spacious, comfortable, clean, nicely decorated rooms in Mhamid and Erg Chigaga
4) Staff really cares about sharing their culture. They want you to feel at home and are happy to answer even the most banal questions
5) The tour really was the trip of a lifetime. I'm not exaggerating. We learned so much and lived--really lived--so much. From trekking with/on camels to traveling by jeep to climbing dunes to trying desert arugula to watching sand bread being made to relaxing to soaking up silence and learning to cook Moroccan desert-style... I will never forget these experiences and the people who welcomed us with open arms.
6) Fair prices. Our 3-day tour cost 360€ total all included for two people.
If you need a recommendation for a particular tour, we went on the 3-day Majesty of the Sahara tour, which I think struck a wonderful balance between showing us the natural, wild, nomad lifestyle (mobile camp) and seeing a wide variety of desert landscapes via jeep (fixed camp). The first day there was no one else around for miles; on the second, we took in a very impressive view of the dunes
