Abderrahman Abbassi è stato un ottimo accompagnatore! Molto gentile, soprattutto con i nostri due bimbi! Abbiamo viaggiato comodi e al ritorno siamo stati accompagnati fino al Riad! L'escursione è molto bella, adatta anche a bambini piccoli! Il tragitto è lungo, ma le pause lo alleggeriscono un po'!

the journey to get to the desert is very long, it lasts practically the whole day, obviously with breaks and visits to two towns, one on the way out and one on the way back. very hot on the minibus. the camping in the desert is beautiful and with attention to detail, tent with double bed, bathroom with shower, it feels like being in a hotel. very good food, both at breakfast and dinner. entertainment with bonfire and music. very nice camel ride. Overall an unforgettable experience

Great experience in the beginnings of Sahara desert. Quick and professional transportation provided by Ando Travel and our driver Abdelaali - 10/10. Otherwise - delicious food at the camp and brilliant opportunity for star gazing! The only downside was the restaurant (organized by the Ando Travel) in Ait Benhaddo - extremely unprofessional service, low quality food and high prices. Something to be improved.
