I have the honor to write the first review here and will provide some informations: If you start the tour in the early morning, you pay extra. You will get to see how Nomads live, cook and you can drink tea with them. You also get to taste the bread they baked and when you arrive in the desert, you have a couple of more hours in the desert. I was able to communicate with my guide very flexible before the tour and was able to choose my pick up point as I wanted. English level is also sufficient enough. What I really appreciate about my guide is that he is honest and will tell you the naked truth about the desert and the nomads and doesn't emphasize for the sake of touristic experience. He also takes care of non-smokers and vegetarians. After arriving in the desert, I was allowed to walk around alone by myself, which is exactly what I wanted. I stayed at Bivouac Chez Ali, where I had a room with comfortable beds, which kept the warmth during the night. For dinner, I had a tasty Tagine which was quite a lot by volume. Wifi was provided, the only problem might be to find some outlets. In general, it was a very flexible and convenient tour and the price is fair. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you for your kind words and you are welcome all the time.
