My boyfriend and I went on a 3-day trek into the Sahara desert from Douz over New Year's Eve. Our goal was a silent, relaxing start to 2025 close to nature. All of our expectations were fulfilled. Everything was perfectly planned and executed. The food was amazing, and the accommodation was nice and exactly what you would expect. However, the success of the entire tour depends on your guide. We were lucky to have Amir. He is a young Bedouin who is one of the few people who still lives as a true nomad. You can sense his love for the Sahara. He shared many stories about his passion for the desert and his dedication to preserving it. Unlike some other guides, Amir treats his camels like his own children. While some guides treat their animals poorly (even hitting them). Amir's gentle care for his camels was wonderful to witness. This was extremely important to us, as we wanted our vacation to be as sustainable as possible. If you're planning a similar trip, ask for Amir - he's the best choice you can make.

The trip was absolutely stunning: endlessly beautiful landscape, well behaved camels with character, amazing food and above all the best guide we could wish for. I can only recommend and will come back for a longer trek in the desert with Ahmed. Everything was well organized, the camels looked healthy and well taken care of.
The camel rides were magnificent, our camel driver was dedicated, attentive and friendly, he was known to all the Berber camel drivers and shepherds. The tent, bed and blankets were perfect. However, for the price we paid we expected to have a guide, our camel driver spoke neither French nor English. For meals, we would have appreciated a greater variety of fruits for dessert and breakfast, dates in the Douz region would have been appropriate. Last points, the manager was not always easy to reach and we did not find towels for the shower.
Bonjour Gilles, Je suis désolé d'apprendre que certains aspects de votre expérience avec notre compagnie de tourisme durable n'ont pas répondu à vos attentes. Je tiens à vous fournir quelques éclaircissements sur nos services et nos principes : 1. **Guides Nomades** : Nous embauchons effectivement des nomades locaux pour guider nos treks à dos de chameau. Ces guides possèdent une connaissance inégalée du terrain et une expérience précieuse. Cela fait également partie de notre engagement à soutenir les communautés locales. 2. **Langues** : Nous comprenons l'importance de la communication et regrettons que notre chamelier ne parlait ni français ni anglais. Nous travaillons à améliorer cet aspect en offrant des formations linguistiques à nos guides. 3. **Serviettes** : Concernant les serviettes, notre camp est situé dans un endroit reculé où l'eau et les installations de lavage sont limitées. De plus, pour des raisons d'hygiène, nous encourageons nos clients à apporter leurs propres serviettes, ce qui est en accord avec nos principes de tourisme durable. 4. **Variété de Fruits** : Nous apprécions votre suggestion d'ajouter plus de variété, notamment des dattes, à nos repas. Nous nous efforçons toujours de proposer des fruits frais et de saison pour garantir la meilleure qualité et soutenir les producteurs locaux. 5. **Disponibilité du Responsable** : Nous nous excusons pour tout inconvénient causé par la difficulté à contacter le responsable. Nous prenons note de ce point pour améliorer notre réactivité et notre disponibilité envers nos clients. Votre retour est essentiel pour nous et nous aidera à améliorer continuellement nos services. Nous espérons que, malgré ces désagréments, vous avez apprécié l'expérience unique et authentique que nous nous efforçons d'offrir. Cordialement.
Very warm welcome, concern for all well-being and comfort, dedicated and present team. No difficulty with the language, the staff manages in English and French. I highly recommend this magnificent experience!

This is a great experience for anyone wanting to see another side of life in Tunisia. The camels are very cool and friendly. My guide, Mohammed, was great and made the trip unforgettable. Overall tour is very easy to arrange, you get started immediately from pickup. The camp site is great - very good food and refreshments, nice setup with kitchen, restaurant, tents, area for fire and socializing etc. I would personally suggest the 3-day trek over the 2 day as you are guaranteed one full day in the Sahara.
