Wir haben schöne Einblicke in die Wüste erhalten können. Die Betten im Camp waren sehr gemütlich, und man konnte sogar duschen (mitten in der Wüste!). Das Essen war gut und der Sonnenuntergang von der großen Düne wunderschön. Das einzige, was ich schade fand, war das Sandboarding: Es liegen zwar paar alte Boards zur Nutzung bereit, allerdings sind am Lager nur kleine 5 Meter Dünen. Ich hatte gehofft, dass wir mit den Boards zu ... ### Review by Rui Matos (March 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 After 3 months since we left Morocco and spent New Year's in the desert, I want to say it was a good experience. New Year's Eve could have been better, it was just our group of Portuguese people partying, then some Dutch people and a Greek couple joined us, the Spanish went to bed early haha, but Aziz partied with us too and was always there for something. Thank you. ### Review by Patrick Ruiz (March 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Si vous recherchez une expérience au coeur de la vie nomade, choisissez Aziz et Sahara Wonders!

Kids had a blast playing in the dunes and sand boarding every spare moment. Recommended!!! ### Review by Bewusst-Wandlerin (March 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Wir waren mit Mohamed 2 Nächte in der Wüste. Super Tour, absolut sympathisch und viele Informationen! Wir haben an tollen Aussichtspunkten und alten Bäumen gehalten, er hat ein paar echt schöne Bilder von uns geschossen. Auch der Ausflug in die Oase war cool. Ich konnte ihn alles fragen über die Kultur, Traditionen und die Antworten waren sehr authentisch und reflektiert. Wir haben uns sehr gut umsorgt gefühlt, auch im Camp. Besonders war der Sandsturm, aber auch durch ihn ist Mohamed s... ### Review by Lorraine Molliard (February 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Superbe expérience avec Aziz qui nous a concocté un super programme, bien adapté aux enfants pour découvrir le désert aux alentours de Mhamid et jusqu'à Erg Chegaga.

We gonna come again for sure and strongly recommend them! ### Review by Lazlo Schneck (February 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 We travelled Morocco for 2 weeks and definitely wanted to experience the great vastness of the Sahara desert. While looking for possible tours and guides we came across sahara wonders and decided to book there. The communication with our host and guide Aziz was perfect, he mostly replied in less than 15 minutes and is fluent in arabic, english, french (and giving his best in german). We spent the first night at their guesthouse in M’Hamid el Ghizlane. After breakfast, we packed our things a... ### Review by Jochen Leuf (January 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Wir unternahmen mit unseren zwei und sechs Jahre alten Kindern eine zweitätige Erg Chegaga Tour mit Aziz. Es war eine fantastische Erfahrung. Die Tour war sehr professionell organisiert und das Camp wunderbar ausgewählt. Aziz ist ein unglaublich symphatischer und herzlicher Begleiter. Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch, wie liebevoll Azis mit unseren Kindern umging. Unsere kleine Tochter war begeistert von seinen schauspielerischen Fähigkeiten und der Dromedar Imitation und wollte gar nicht ... ### Review by Etienne Saint-Germain (January 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Wow, it was a very beautiful experience, with lovely people! ### Review by Jules Saint-Germain (January 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Good service, good food, the tents were really comfortable and it was absolutely beautiful. ### Review by Julie Hardy (January 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Expérience inoubliable avec Aziz, à M'Hamid et dans le désert! Lui et son frère Hassan nous ont accueillis chaleureusement dans leur maison à M'Hamid, Hassan nous a cuisiné de bons plats et Aziz nous a guidés dans le désert. Balade de dromadaires, chasse aux fossiles, sandboarding, musique traditionnelle autour du feu, c'était génial. On a très bien dormi sous la tente, et très bien mangé. On souhaite revenir pour un plus long séjour! ### Review by Tomas Pariente (January 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 It's been a pleasure knowing Aziz and his brothers, stay at his home, share the food, and especially the trip to the desert. He took us in his 4x4 (fun drive in the sand) to a very beautiful camp very close to the big dunes. We did sandboarding over the dunes, camel riding, and a fantastic dinner before looking at the stars and hearing the music and Berber's songs near the fire. A very good deal and a perfect desert experience. We recommend him! ### Review by Sarah J (January 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Nous avons vécu une expérience superbe en compagnie d’Aziz. Aziz sait accompagner à la découverte du désert, nous amener à découvrir les paysages et apprécier les spécificités du désert et de sa culture. Nos échanges ont été riches et nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir pour redécouvrir cette magnifique région à d’autres occasions et d’autres saisons. Je recommande vivement cette agence de voyage! ### Review by Olatz Madariaga (January 2026) **Rating:** 5/5 Hemos pasado un fin de año increíble. El campamento estaba impecable, la cena deliciosa y todo cuidado hasta el último detalle. El desayuno era estilo buffet y no le faltaba de nada. Aziz y el resto del personal han sido muy atentos, íbamos con niños y han disfrutado mucho tanto el paseo en dromedario como el sandboarding. Super recomendable para pasar unos días inolvidables. ### Review by Sophie Guillaume (December 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Une nuit de Noël sous le ciel étoilé du désert dans un camp ultra confortable et raffiné, repas délicieux,promenade à dos de dromadaire, 4*4.. un Moment inoubliable grâce à Aziz, sa gentillesse et sa patience. Encore merci pour ce Noël inoubliable, on a hâte de revenir mais pour plusieurs jours cette fois! ### Review by Léna Brossier (November 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Super expérience avec Aziz, qui est une personne avec beaucoup d’humour et une grande gentillesse.

Le dîner était délicieux et la chambre très confortable. Tout était magique, merci pour tout. ### Review by Snezhina Kotseva (November 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Azis is the perfect host!

Je recommande, allez-y les yeux fermés. ### Review by Geronimo W. (September 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in den Riad.

Alles in allem ein stimmiges Gesamtkonzept. ### Review by jérôme letellier (June 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Très belle expérience dans l'Erg Chegaga avec Aziz qui vous emmène jusqu'au Bivouac au milieu des dunes. Repas et musique pour la soirée. Possibilité de balade à dos de dromadaire, surf sur sable.... le lever du soleil dans un silence total est magique. Allez y et laissez vous guider pour la découverte ### Review by Cristina Serra (May 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 La experiencia en Mhamid nos ha gustado mucho. La casa de Aziz se encuentra en un lugar muy tranquilo del pueblo, justo a la entrada al desierto y a la vez cerca del centro. La casa es muy bonita, espaciosa y cómoda, nuestro viaje era en mayo con altas temperaturas por lo que Aziz nos propuso dormir en la terraza bajo las estrellas, fue una muy buena idea! También organiza diferentes tipos de tours al desierto, estuvo atento a la mejor recomendación por las fechas de nuestra visita para qu... ### Review by Mimi (May 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Superbe expérience avec notre fille et nos deux petits-enfants ( 11 et 12 ans) dans la maison d'Aziz, puis dans le désert... Aziz est adorable, il aime plaisanter avec les enfants et connaît vraiment bien le désert... qu'il aime tant, et cela se ressent! Son frère Hassan nous a préparé de délicieuses tajines, et a joué au Mikado avec les enfants! Soirée agréable sur le toit de leur maison, et même, pour certains, nuit à la belle étoile ! Aziz nous a amenés avec Acacia, sa jeep,... ### Review by Laurence Mullier (May 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Aziz est un super guide! Nous avons d’abord passé une nuit dans sa maison traditionnelle à M’Hamid (nous avons dormi sur le toit, c'était magique!). Puis le lendemain, nous sommes partis dans le désert en 4x4. Aziz chante au volant de "Acacia", le nom qu'il donne à sa jeep. Ensuite, la balade en dromadaire nous a rapproché d'une très grande dune à grimper à pieds (prévoir de l'eau!) pour admirer une vue extraordinaire au coucher du soleil. Il y avait quelque chose d'initiatique ... ### Review by Stéphanie PERRILLAT (May 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Nous avons eu la chance de passer une nuit chez Aziz et son frère Hassan grâce à une plateforme d’échange de maison. Le lendemain, Aziz nous a emmenés vivre une expérience inoubliable dans le désert, où nous avons passé la journée et la nuit. Aziz est une personne de confiance : chaleureux, drôle, très attentif et surtout génial avec les enfants. Notre fille fêtait ses 9 ans ce jour-là et Aziz lui avait réservé une magnifique surprise : un gâteau d’anniversaire apporté ... ### Review by Sebastiano Canzano (April 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Aziz ha reso la nostra esperienza nel deserto unica.

Nous l'avons retrouvé le matin vers 11h, avons laissé nos bagages chez lui et il nous a emmenés avec son 4x4 dans le désert. Nous avons mangé en plein désert dans une oasis puis fait du quad et dormi dans des tentes. Nous n'avons pas eu froid ni trop chaud la nuit, c'était très bien. Le repas était très bien, le campement d'une 15 aine de tentes avait de l'eau et un peu d'électricité grâce... ### Review by Fabrice PIQUET (April 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Dans le Cadre d’un échange de maison (HomExchange) nous avons pu bénéficier d’une nuit dans la maison d’Aziz accueilli par son frère Hassan avec un délicieux tagine… au petit matin un très petit déjeuner et hop nous voilà parti en 4*4 pour le bivouac dans le désert. Après avoir traversé le désert de pierres et un arrêt déjeuner dans un oasis nous avons découvert un vrai désert de dunes…. Splendide! Nous étions peu nombreux c’était appréciable… les installation... ### Review by Suzaan Meyer (March 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Once I decided I was going on a trip to Morocco, I started looking at what activities to do. As my flight was from London to Marrakesh I initially only looked at activities around Marrakesh. I came across desert trips from Marrakesh, but I wanted a little more time in the desert and challenge myself a little more, I.e more time walking. I searched online and found that it is possible to do trips straight from M’Hamid into the Sahara desert. Which meant I would be in the desert from day one.... ### Review by Anna Błaszczyk-Pakuła (March 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 We spent with Aziz one day on Erg Chigaga and were lucky to see two totally different faces of the desert (quite unexpectedly 😅). He picked us up from M'hamid, offered lunch at his house and took us to the camp. Despite raging sandstorm we didn't get lost (chapeau bas) and could see a nearby oasis. Aziz told us about nomads life and you clearly see how much knowledge and experience he has. I also really liked the old nomads story about the origin of North and South winds on Sahara. The cam... ### Review by Marc Edge (March 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 What can I can I say Azziz was excellent. The trip was amazing. I would highly recommend this and the desert was amazing …… ### Review by Nilaï Legorgeu (February 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Très belle expérience d'échanges chez Aziz et Hassan. Nous avons extrêmement bien mangé. La tente dans le désert était très confortable, les chants traditionnels nomades magnifiques et les personnes très accueillantes. Aziz est adorable avec les enfants. À bientôt, j'espère. ### Review by Aeve Ribbons (February 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Beautiful Riad and great hosts in an incredible setting! We had an amazing time. Thanks for everything:) ### Review by Veronika Píclová (February 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 We had a nice stay in one of the riads. The treatment of the staff was truly beautiful and unforgettable. We had a welcome tea with one of the workers and he was always asking if everything is alright. For us, one of the best stays here in Morocco and the Mhamid desert is really worth visiting. Thank you very much for your service. 10/10 ### Review by max wies (February 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Merveilleuse expérience aux portes du désert. Accueil extraordinaire, repas au top.

El camino al desierto es hermoso con sus paisajes cambiantes hasta llegar a las dunas imponentes. El campamento también estuvo súper completo con paseo en dromedario hasta la duna más alta de todo Marruecos. Por la noche música y buena comida.

Aziz es un guía genial, nos llevo al desierto y pasamos la noche en un campamento en el desierto con música y celebración,Aziz es simpático, agradable y respetuoso, gracias por estos días viviendo una experiencia estupenda en tu casa y como guía !! ### Review by Isabel Fernández de Ortega (January 2025) **Rating:** 5/5 Una experiencia maravillosa, Aziz es un estupendo guia, simpático y atento. Recomiendo hacer la experiencia de ir al desierto con el y si necesitas alojarte en su casa de M'hamid. ### Review by Cecile Declourt (December 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 La prestation d'excursion et bivouac dans le désert proposée par Aziz est assurément de qualité : véhicule sécurisant avec 7 places qu'il conduit avec prudence, bon repas en oasis, nuitée dans un campement de petite taille (20~25 personnes) avec deux locaux en dur (salle à manger et sanitaires avec douche chaude), vrais lits sous tente de 5 avec draps et couvertures, vraie balade à dromadaire loin dans les dunes, soirée berbère en musique...

Nous avons d’abord passé une nuit dans sa maison traditionnelle à M’Hamid où le frère d’Aziz, Hassan nous a préparé un délicieux tajine. Puis le lendemain, nous sommes partis avec Aziz dans le désert en 4x4 et avons séjourné dans un camp proche de la deuxième plus grande dune de Erg Chigaga. La balade en dromadaire nous a rapproché de la dune pour admirer une vue époustouflante au coucher du soleil. L’organisation de notre séjour dans le d... ### Review by Lena Bürgi (December 2024) **Rating:** 4/5 cooles wüstenerlebnis! waren 5tage/4nächte unterwegs. ca 3 stunden pro tag zu fuss. wir wurden kulinarisch verwöhnt!! zwischen den guides die mitkamen und uns gab es eine leichte sprachbarriere wodurch sich die gespräche mehrheitlich auf das wesentliche bezogen. ### Review by Berta A (December 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 I can’t recommend Sahara Wonders enough. This unforgettable experience, right on the edge of the desert in Mhamid, is the perfect place to disconnect and reconnect. The magic of the desert, combined with the exceptional service of our guide, Aziz, made this trip an absolute dream. Aziz, who I now consider a friend, is a true professional. He is attentive, reliable, generous, and always goes the extra mile to make sure you have the best experience possible. He truly adapts the activities to ... ### Review by Samantha Agnew (December 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 loved our experience in the Sahara! Aziz was an amazing tour guide and answered all our questions, took us to his favorite camping spot and made us traditional nomadic moroccan food. 10/10 recommend staying overnight in the desert with him and seeing the desert under the stars! ### Review by Serena Prato (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 When I arrived in M'Hamid, the Sahara was a great mystery to me. Thanks to Azis and Hassan, I was lucky enough to experience its most authentic side. In fact for the two brothers – both born in a nomadic community – the desert is like an old home: they deeply know and respect it. But this is probably not enough, because what I could see in their eyes while speaking about Sahara has definitely something to do with love. I arrived in M'Hamid planning to spend therr just one night and I ende... ### Review by aurelien bonnier (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Nous avons passé un moment magique en compagnie de Aziz et de son frère Hassan . Un accueil chaleureux dans leur très joli riad pour une première nuit . Le lendemain direction le désert , pour un bivouac au milieu des dunes , ainsi qu'une balade en dromadaire au coucher du soleil un rêve éveillé . Merci encore ! ### Review by celine perez (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Notre séjour était INOUBLIABLE ! Nous avons passé une première nuit chez Aziz et Hassan, puis une seconde dans un bivouac à Chegaga où nous avons pu découvrir le désert (balade en dromadaire, coucher du soleil depuis la plus haute dune, chants traditionnels et djembé au coin du feu). Aziz fait découvrir son désert avec amour et passion. Notre meilleure expérience au Maroc ! ### Review by Jonathan Kadouch (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 I've been traveling in Morocco for almost a month now and this is without a doubt one of the best experiences I've had. Aziz is a great guy which makes him a great guide, he has a lot of knowledge, he is honest and he will answer and satisfy either your curiosity or humor whenever you search for it. I highly recommend! ### Review by Delphine Jurado (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 J’ai vécu une expérience incroyable grâce à Aziz et Hassan! Ils ont pris soin de moi et de mes amis, ils sont drôles, accueillants, gentils, et ils partagent leur maison et leurs coutumes avec beaucoup de générosité. La maison est confortable, calme et propre! Merci à eux pour tout 🙏 Grand merci à Aziz pour sa good vibe incroyable!! ### Review by Berta Nueno Mairal (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Muy buena experiencia con Aziz. La comida muy rica y el campamento rústico pero tranquilo (estábamos solos con otros grupos cerca pero fuera de la vista). Paisajes muy bonitos y buena conversación y compañía. ### Review by Florian Binard (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Expérience unique et magic avec Mohammed et Hassan qui nous ont accueilli et guidé dans cette aventure. Je les recommande sans hésiter. ### Review by Angelique goujat (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 J’ai passé trois nuits à M’Hamid loin des tumultes des grandes villes, les trois plus beaux jours de mon séjour. Trois jours riches en découverte et en partage. Aziz nous a ouvert les portes de son agréable Riad. Que dire de la qualité de ses excursions, de sa cuisine et de son accueil ?! Simplement magiques ! Des moments gravés à vie. ### Review by Laure CA*** (November 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Nous étions 7 (famille et amis, dont 2 enfants) à résider chez Aziz et son frère Hassan. UN BONHEUR. Le riad se trouve a une rue (de sable) du désert. il est calme, spacieux et authentique. bien plus joli que ce que les photos montrent. alors bien entendu, si vous souhaitez un environnement aseptisé, digne de l'hôtel Mamounia, ne venez pas....mais si vous cherchez un riad où on vous accueille comme des amis, ou vous pouvez manger des tajines succulents, du poulet au barbecue et aux é... ### Review by miriam ferrari (June 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Sia il soggiorno a Mhamid che la notte del deserto sono state esperienze meravigliose. Nonostante il caldo (essendo giugno) e un errore da parte mia nella prenotazione, Aziz è riuscito a farci innamorare della vita a Mhamid, letteralmente alle porte del deserto, e della cultura nomade! Ci ha fatto sentire a casa, e ci ha insegnato tantissimo! Un consiglio: una notte nel deserto è davvero troppo poco, sicuramente la prossima volta chiederemo ad Aziz di organizzare un trekking di più giorni! ### Review by Lucie James (June 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Great launchpad for a visit to the desert. A very special experience and Mohamed's hospitality was so generous. ### Review by Tasmin Shanley (May 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Highly recommend this truly authentic desert experience with Sahara Wonders. Aziz and Hamza are lovely, and have so much knowledge and wisdom to share. Cannot forget Hamza's delicious tagine, the best we've had in Morocco. ### Review by Abdelmounim SBAI JOUILIL (May 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Belle experience je recommande ### Review by Youcef M (May 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Moi et ma mère avons vécu une expérience inoubliable et contemplative au cœur d’un désert d’une beauté majestueuse. Ballade en jeep dans le désert, voyage à dos de dromadaire au coucher du soleil, bon tajine à la nuit tombée, musique marocaine traditionnelle autour du feu, une voûte céleste à couper le souffle… Tout était parfait. Pour ce qui est du guide, Aziz est une personne formidable et d’une grande générosité. Vous serez sans aucun doute entre de bonnes mains. L... ### Review by Freddie Dale (May 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 You are in very safe hands with Aziz if you want to discover the incredible beauty of Erg Chegaga. We wanted something authentic, without the luxury of some of the nearby desert camps. He has an ancestral knowledge and philosophy of the nomadic Berber people that will enrich your outlook on life. His lieutenant Chez Hamza served us the freshest tagines of our life. Tanmirte Aziz! ### Review by George Dale (May 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 If your looking for a authentic desert experience Aziz is your man! ### Review by Michal Markovič (May 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Sahara wonders team are true professionals. They organised for me 5 days trekking in Sahara with Nomad guides. Can totally recommend for authentic experience and exploring the Sahara desert. 👌 ### Review by TerezaDavid (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 **Amazing experience!** We got a recommendation for a Sahara tour and the phone number of Aziz, whom I contacted the day before we wanted to go. He was super nice, spending time answering all my questions and managed to organize Ali who took us for a 24-hour long trip to Sahara - starting from Foum Zguid. It was everything that was promised and even more, we felt welcomed and well cared of. Thank you again for an amazing experience and I hope we are coming back! ### Review by Nolwenn Boury (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Une belle découverte de cette partie du Maroc grâce à Aziz notre super guide. Il nous a emmené au travers du désert du Sahara pour vivre une expérience unique : nuitée dans un camp en plein désert. Un beau moment de partage et des souvenirs plein la tête ### Review by Stéphanie Muller (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Nous avons eu la chance de loger 1 nuit à MHamid chez Hassan & Aziz et 1 nuit dans le désert accompagné d'Aziz avec nos 3 enfants. Tout a été parfait ! Lors de notre séjour à M'hamid, nous avons été accueilli avec beaucoup de gentillesse par Hassan qui nous a ouvert les portes de leur maison traditionnelle. Nous nous sommes senti comme chez nous! Hassan nous a concocté un délicieux tajine. Nous avons pu passer une nuit reposante avec tout le confort nécessaire avant notre excursio... ### Review by Chris M (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 When my eldest son turned 18 I wanted to take him on an adventure to see and experience a new part of the world. We found Aziz originally through a travel agency BUT I strongly recommend for you to book direct. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE! Aziz and his team took care of us and everything at every stage...I have been fortunate to travel extensively but nothing compares to this trip and the memories of being expertly guided, fed, watered and permitted to gain a true insight into nomadic life. We absolut... ### Review by Bruno Vidošević (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Aziz is the best! If you want an authentic experience of desert experience you should go with sahara wonders and Aziz. Every part of the journey was new experience for us and is absolutely scenic. The aziz and the guys are experienced and very kind guides which can tell you all about the desert. His experience is authentic and he keeps it simple, original and fun. His is kind and also interested to hear about you, your culture and your thoughts. The food was also absolutely amazing :) We were... ### Review by Dora Curavić (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 A truly authentic experience! My friends and I are so glad we didn’t choose the option with an agency and went with Aziz instead. I believe it was much more immersive and Aziz is such an interesting individual. Definitely recommend!! ### Review by V. J. (Википринт) (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Спасибо Азизу, владельцу этого чудесного отеля. Это было потрясающее проживание, очень дружелюбный и гостеприимный хозяин. Очень внимательный, он нас встретил на автобусной станции, напомнил вкусным чаем и приготовил отличный обед!! Рекомендую!! ### Review by Nadine L. (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 We stayed at Aziz house for two nights and we really liked it 😊 Aziz and his brother are really nice and interested in their guests. We felt at home after just a few seconds :) Aziz also told us a lot about the culture :) thanks again for all the answers @aziz :D It was also super easy to get in touch with the other guests in the house. We would love to stay their again next time 😊 ### Review by Gail Harrington (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 I have been three times to M’Hamid and into the desert with Aziz, one of the best guides I have had anywhere, especially because of his knowledge and experience growing up in this desert. Aziz is a lovely person, great to spend time with and on top of every detail needed for an unforgettable adventure. ### Review by C McL (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Organizing our trip to M'hamid was extremely easy right from the beginning. Mohamed is very quick to respond to messages so once we started communicating it took no time at all to organize our stay with him. Myself, my husband and our two teenage boys had a fantastic 4 nights in and around M'hamid . The accommodation, although perhaps not for those who need a 5 star hotel, was made all the more delightful by the little terrace where we could sit and get some breeze on a hot afternoon, or eat ... ### Review by iztok kucan (April 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 A truly unique experience for our family. Both the stay in M'Hamid and the desert trip. Cannot overstate how much we enjoyed it. ### Review by Lolo R (March 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 **Great place and great hosts by the Sahara** Great location and value if you are looking to spend a few days in the Sahara, which is simply breathtaking. Aziz and his brother were very welcoming, friendly and helped me during my stay getting around the town. Thanks! ### Review by Giulia (March 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Aziz è innamorato del deserto e farà innamorare anche voi! Grazie a lui abbiamo vissuto un’esperienza autentica; infatti avevamo la nostra tenda e abbiamo potuto accamparci in un luogo isolato e stupendo. Abbiamo cenato con tajine e zuppa cotti sulle braci sotto un cielo stellato memorabile. Inoltre Aziz ha degli ottimi gusti musicali: la playlist in macchina è troppo bella! ### Review by Gail H (February 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 **Extraordinary Desert Guide and Host** I was a guest at Aziz's house in 2020 and very happy to return recently for two weeks. Aziz is a wonderful Airbnb host and and guide; he is kind, enjoyable to spend time with and makes sure guests are happy every day. His brother Hassan works with him as co-host at his home, making and serving the breakfast every day. Their mother bakes all the breads and preserves the olives served at breakfast, and one of their sisters bakes some delicious small sweet cakes, one that is dipped in chocolate.... ### Review by Freedom59916800256 (January 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 **Good knowledge** Good conversation with english and french, knowledge of the environment, no cheeting, sources in a family of nomads ### Review by Climber55060021749 (January 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 **An amazing exeperience, a really great guide!** Our experience with Aziz was excellent. He and his brother Hassan are really kind and attentive hosts, and with them we experienced a taste of the life in M'hamid and the desert. We spent a couple of nights on the house at the outskirts of M'hamid. The house is wonderful, with its earthen walls, its patio and its vernacular architecture. We enjoyed specially an evening with some children of the neighbourhood and the incredible sky at night. On the second day, Aziz came to pick us with the 4x4... ### Review by Belén Sanchis (January 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Aziz i l seua família ens van acollir a aquesta experiència al sud i desert de Marroc. No ens ha faltat de res. Han sigut molt amables i pendents de les nostres necessitats i benestar. Hem anat en família i no he trobat a faltar cap comoditat. Un encert. Recomane! ### Review by Elena Archiles (January 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Alojarnos con Aziz y reservar la experiencia a través de su proyecto Sahara Wonders ha sido sin duda lo mejor del viaje. Aziz no es un empresario que ha visto una oportunidad de negocio en estas excursiones, Aziz ha sido nómada y ha vivido en el desierto hasta que sus circunstancias personales le obligaron a vivir en M'Hamid. Es decir, que cuando te adentras en el desierto con él, aprendes de su modo de vida, comprendes de primera mano las transformaciones que ha vivido el desierto y empie... ### Review by Aaron Zinger (January 2024) **Rating:** 5/5 Great experience. Aziz makes small town desert life look so appealing, it made me want to stay. Come here and slow down for a while. ### Review by Nicolás G (December 2023) **Rating:** 5/5 **Fantastic nomad and dessert experience!! A Must in Morocco!** Staying in M'Hamid and the trip to Erg Chigaga was fantastic. Thanks, Aziz for looking after us so well.

Thank you 🙏 ### Review by reginaehlers (December 2023) **Rating:** 5/5 **Experience nomadic life!** We had a very amazing time staying in Mohamed's place right at the border of M'Hamid and the desert. He welcomed us with a lovely vegetarian dinner. The next day we went on a 2 day desert trip that he organised for us. It was a memorable experience! Walking, riding camels, driving in a 4x4, right into what felt like the deep desert. A very authentic experience, lovely company, incredible scenery. Highly recommended! ### Review by Ella G (September 2023) **Rating:** 5/5 **A must do in Morocco!** We had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour. Our guide Smail was so welcoming, kind, patient and a lot of fun! He completely went above and beyond to show us wonderful viewpoints, tell us interesting facts and stories, and point out even the tiniest of details. If you're concerned about the driving time...don't be! The journey itself through the mountains and Draa valley to the end of the road in M'Hamid and then off road to the dunes was just as much a highlight - from communities in th... ### Review by Sergi G (August 2023) **Rating:** 5/5 **Amazing Desert Experience** We did a 3 day tour from Marrakech to Erg Chigaga spending one night in the desert camp. The tour was very interesting, Ismail was very professional and a good driver. The car was a well equipped 4x4. He gave us explanations about the Nomads and the Berbers and we made stops during the trip in very nice locations like Ait-Ben-Haddou or palm groves in the Draa valley. The desert days were the best, where we could spot some wildlife and take pictures of the amazing dunes. Also ride dromedaries.... ### Review by Amanda S (July 2023) **Rating:** 5/5 **Bucket List** Thank you, Aziz and Mohamed for an absolutely sensational trip. We honestly didn't know very much about Morocco when we first arrived in Marrakesh and the city was a little overwhelming, but as soon as Mohamed arrived to start our tour, the pace slowed down, we learned so much, and we enjoyed Mohamed's company immensely. We learned about the way cities are structured, the culture of the Berbers and the nomads, the history of the Kasbahs, the agricultural regions, and lots of personal stories ... ### Review by Natalia S (April 2023) **Rating:** 5/5 **Wonderful Experience in the Moroccan Desert!** We had a wonderful time visiting the desert! We booked with Aziz and ended up going with his brother Ali. He made sure we had everything we needed and that we were well looked after. Aziz also helped us to arrange taxi transfer from Ouarzazate airport, and welcomed us at his home before heading into the desert by 4x4. We saw camels and the changing landscape on the way to the desert which was extraordinary. When we arrived at the dunes, we had time to explore, take pictures and wander around.... ### Review by Foxy Mags (March 2023) **Rating:** 5/5 **Amazing Desert Experience** The stay in Mhamid was amazing! Aziz was a wonderful host, he was very welcoming! It truly felt like home. He also arrange an overnight trip to the desert-we rode camels, had delicious food, campfire and songs, played in the dunes and slept in a tent. It was really was an experience of a lifetime! I look forward to visiting Aziz and Mhamid again one day! ### Review by Herb (February 2023) **Rating:** 5/5 **Wonderful Desert Stay** We had a lovely stay with Mohamed, who was extremely welcoming and attentive, from meeting us at the Bus Station to providing many pots of tea and a delicious breakfast. We also arranged a separate Sahara tour experience with him and it went wonderfully, music, campfire, desert dunes and camels... The works! I don't think we would have had anywhere near as good an experience in M'hamid if it hadn't been for him. We only spoke English and felt like he could deal with our many questions, both p... ### Review by Sean Zink (November 2022) **Rating:** 5/5 I stayed here one night and spent it talking to Hamza who picked me up from the bus station. This place was very comfortable for me and I liked how the rooms are very open. The whole place is very simple and I enjoyed my stay. ### Review by FarAway4963895769 (October 2022) **Rating:** 5/5 **Good Pick for Mhamid** The handling of the sahara tour was satisfactory. The place is on the edge of town, but it is walking distance to the center. Host was nice and helpful, and communication was easy. His cousin even took us for a sunset walk across the river to see ruins of the old settlement. ### Review by Agapi Kouroupaki (October 2022) **Rating:** 5/5 It feels like home. It's a very quiet Riad, at the edge of the village but still not far because it's a small village, with a beautiful interior courtyard where one can relax. The host is very hospitable and respectful and he always prepares a fulfilling breakfast. It's good for families as the kids can be safe in he interior courtyard. ### Review by maria holzmeister (June 2022) **Rating:** 5/5 aziz very good guide we arrive at night he coock nice tagine rooms very confortable next day aziz orgnise great trio for us to desert sleep in desert camp and ride camels was so nice aziz person you know desert very well ### Review by Christine DE BORTOLI (November 2021) **Rating:** 5/5 Je viens de passer 5 nuits chez Aziz : un pur bonheur.

Dépaysés à souhait et un peu incertains d’avoir fait un bon choix, nous avons vite réalisé que nous pouvions relaxer. Pas de formalité ici, juste de la simplicité, de la sincérité et de l’honnêteté. De l’extérieur, la maison a l’air de rien, de l’intérieur nous avons eu l’impression de vivre à la marocaine. Nous avons eu le plaisir de cuisiner avec Aziz et d’aller admirer les couchers de soleil sur le... ### Review by Céline Michot (January 2020) **Rating:** 5/5 Ce lieu est très bien, aux portes du desert.

I only wish we could have stayed longer. The town of M’Hamid, located an hour and a half from Zagora, is on the edge of the Sahara desert. Prime location for staging a variety of desert activites, including a 4x4 and camels trip to the spectacular big dunes of Erg Chigaga. Whatever trip you choose, be it (camels , jeeps ), prepare to be blown away by desertl beauty. Even more impressive than the location are the people.
