Our overnight camel trek with Hamid was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we met him, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed. The camel ride into the golden dunes at sunset was breathtaking, and Hamid’s knowledge of the desert added so much meaning to the journey. He ensured everyone was safe and comfortable, and his stories about Berber traditions were fascinating. The desert camp was magical, with delicious food, traditional music, and stargazing that felt unreal. Hamid’s kindness, professionalism, and warmth made the trip truly special. I would highly recommend booking this trek with Hamid, you won’t regret it!
