Comfortable, informative and most enjoyable tour ever
“It was great to take the tour with Sahara Planet in Morocco. We were with them for five days and visited Ergg Chebbi. The serene experience in the sand dunes of Sahara in complete isolation was a bliss. The Milky Way is visible at night. The High Atlas mountains and the caves, Ouarzazate and the visit to old Kasbahs was quite an experience which was further enhanced by all the socio-political and economic details that Mohammed, who accompanied us for the tour on behalf of Sahara Planet made the trip worthwhile. Sahara Planet is affordable, efficient and excellent. I highly recommend them.”
Fantastic experience between the desert and the sea!!!
“Ive been to Morocco several times during past 2years and my last trip this May was with Sahara planet and I can confirm- it was a great choice! …”
