Very good experience to live with very good company! We take a great memory forever thanks to Ahmed and Brahim who accompanied us from the beginning! 4x4 route through the desert, finding wild animals, fossils, camel ride, priceless sunset, a delicious dinner and a spectacular night sky! They decided that it would be better for us to sleep outside the rooms with the beds and it was a gift for everyone! Thanks Aziz!

Aziz created exactly the type of desert experience that we were looking for: quiet, secluded, personalized. We spent two nights in the desert in a small private tent under countless stars, enjoyed wonderful meals by an open fire, and toured local oases. Very highly recommended!

We went for one night and slept outside under the stars, and it was one of our favourite experiences in Morocco. Camels were well looked after and Abdu was a fantastic cook. Thanks Aziz for this amazing desert experience.

Aziz was present and attentive to our needs during the two days we spent in Chigaga. As a nomad, he knows the region and the tribes who live there very well and has many stories to share. He speaks French and English, so communication was easy. In May, it's too hot for trekking, so we stayed at the permanent camp located about 1.5 to 2 hours by dirt track from M'Hamid. We felt comfortable at the camp: there were about fifteen comfortable tented rooms as well as a well-equipped dining and break area. There were about ten of us, so it was peaceful. This first experience has made us want to return for a multi-day trek with a mobile camp.
