A wonderful experience in the Black and White Deserts. Karim, our guide, was very knowledgeable and spoke Italian fluently. Everything was perfect.

An incredible experience from start to finish. The entire program was perfectly organized, with breathtaking views of the different deserts, ideal for taking photos. Our drivers were exceptionally kind, and their cooking skills were outstanding. We had a variety of meals prepared either on a stove or a barbecue, and every dish was delicious. The nights in the tents were cool, but thanks to the XXL blanket provided, we were kept warm. The sleeping bags were spotless (feel free to bring your own if you'd like). For those with sensitive backs, you might feel a bit sore upon waking up, but the key is to make yourself a comfy pillow. We were also lucky enough to spot a fennec fox in the evening – such a magical moment, and the starry skies were mesmerizing! The last night spent at the oasis was in a beautiful hotel, although it was sadly empty due to the decline in tourism. Breakfast was fantastic, with local products and traditional recipes. Overall, it was just pure happiness!

It was an amazing experience amidst the dunes of both the Black Desert and the White Desert. Karim, our guide, was highly knowledgeable and spoke Italian fluently. Everything was flawless.
