It is a journey well worth the effort and you will have fond memories to last you forever. Imagine yourself on top a camel, trekking through the Sahara desert. There is nothing around you and all you can hear are the footsteps of the camel on the soft sand. The sky is vast and clear in the day and filled with millions of bright stars at night. It is a very peaceful experience, one raley known to most of the Western World. « less

I enjoyed Morocco all around, but the highlight of my trip was a 3 day tour with Omar Berhi over the Atlas mountains into the Sahara. Accommodations were nice, food was tasty, and overall just felt very safe and informed with Omar around. Also, the land cruisers were clean and well kept (no concerns about vehicle dying in some remote... More

My wife and I did the 3-day, 2 night package. It was great in all aspects. Packed full of experiences unique to Morocco. Our trip started and ended in Fez so there was a lot of road time--about 8 hours each way. As a result, we had a very busy 3 days. It was worth every minute. While we never... More

Always a bit nerve racking to go on a tour and not know anyone or even the guide for 3 days ( and obviously transferring money to a complete random), but none the less the guide ( Omar) was great, and i felt totally safe and although there not the same people on every trip the group i had were...

26-28 March 2012. To travel with a bunch of un-knowns in a 4x4 for three days might sound tiresome. And, yes, there were moments when I longed for a break. However, most of the time I was absorbed by all the things we saw; the views in the mountains; the people in the small villages, in the cities; the ones... More

I got back from an amazing 10 days in Morocco yesterday and despite it all being fabulous I cannot rave about Omar's trip enough! Myself and three of my girl-friends took the two night, three day trip (April 14th 2012) along with 8 others and we had an incredible time. The cars were big and comfortable and the stops were...

Although at first it seemed as though the wire transfer was a bit of a crude method of making the reservation, I really can't say enough about how amazing the trip was. My finance and I met Amar in Jemaa el-Fnaa square, where we quickly were introduced to the the other people we were sharing the trip with. In total,... More

Omar was an excellent guide and always informed us where we were going and what we were doing which was reassuring. He avoided and warned us of tourist traps and the whole exprience was relaxed and enjoyable. The value for money was excellent considering some of the prices other companies were charging and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience (apart from... More

For a short visit to the Sahara via the High Atlas Mountains, this is it! Everything about this trip was arranged with exceptional care. The owner and guide, Omar, is one of the kindest, most gentle, spiritual souls I have ever met. His attention to clients' needs, health and safety was superb. And his wry sense of humor is quite...
