There honestly are not enough words to describe how incredible Ibrahim was in every sense of guide and facilitator. Beyond a great human being as well! It’s been three years now and I’ve still communicated with him on WhatsApp. Ibrahim started as a tour guide and after just one trip I write…

We highly recommend the 4 days tour in Merzouga Sahara Desert (from Marrakesh). Brahim was a great guide, a very good and safe driver and a great DJ. The highlight of our trip was the camel ride to see the sunset (+ sandboarding) and the quad in the desert — an absolutely breathtaking experience!

Merci à Ibrahim pour ce séjour riche en découvertes. Une expérience de 6 jours/5 nuits de Marrakech au désert (Erg Chebbi). Ibrahim est un excellent guide et conducteur qui a su s’adapter à nos envies au fil du parcours. Mention spéciale pour les cours d’arabe ! Une expérience recommandée.
