Ein Erlebnis voller Highlights: historische Städte, leckeres lokales Essen, und eine einmalige Nacht mitten in der Wüste. Besonders gut fanden wir, dass der Reiseleiter auf unsere Wünsche einging und zusätzliche Stopps auf dem Weg einbaute.
Everything was handled smoothly from pickup in Agadir to drop-off at the end. Our group appreciated the detailed planning: we saw so many different places in a short time without feeling rushed. Highlights included the Todra Gorge stop, warm welcome at the desert camp, and the camel trek across golden dunes.
Trasa z Agadiru do Merzouga była wspaniale zaplanowana. Każdego dnia czekały na nas inne atrakcje – góry, zielone doliny i ostatecznie Sahara. Obóz był czysty, a kolacja smaczna. Nasz przewodnik mówił po angielsku i chętnie opowiadał o lokalnych zwyczajach.
Die Tour war informativ und abwechslungsreich. Wir haben verschiedene Landschaften durchquert von Oasen bis zu Sanddünen. Besonders schön war die Atmosphäre im Camp, mit traditioneller Musik und leckerem Tajine Abendessen. Das Team hat sich gut um uns gekümmert.
Il tour è stato molto ben organizzato. Abbiamo alloggiato in hotel puliti e accoglienti lungo la strada, e il campo nel deserto offriva ottimi servizi, tra cui docce calde e cibo delizioso. Il nostro autista ci ha raccontato storie interessanti sulla cultura berbera e ci ha fatto sentire sempre al sicuro.
