Desert Tours & Trips
Picture yourself truly experiencing the world's deserts: the Sahara's vast, shifting sands, the Atacama's surreal vistas, Wadi Rum's crimson cliffs, and the Gobi's isolation. These expeditions whisk you away to worlds that feel entirely alien, defined by scorching heat and stunning nocturnal vistas. You'll be sleeping under the stars, navigating the dunes on camelback, savoring the stillness, and discovering the beauty of these seemingly unwelcoming environments.

I highly recommend this trip! You won’t find another trip that comes close to providing the same cultural and adventurous activities. Where else can you ride a quad bike, horseback ride, sand board, ride a camel, hike, rock climb, AND experience a new and fascinating culture all in 5 days?? Mohamed was an incredible tour guide. You can tell he loves his country and enjoys sharing it with travelers. I ended up being the only traveler on my trip, and it felt like traveling with a friend. I can’t stress enough that you should book this trip! What an incredible experience!

I booked the 4 Day Atacama tour. Marilda answered all my questions before the trip within minutes and was prompt in addressing all my additional requests. Unfortunately, due to altitude sickness I was unable to do the tour, but Marilda and the local tour company in San Pedro de Atacama kept checking on me and tried to facilitate last minute changes. I HIGHLY recommend this tour operator.

Our 3night/4day adventure started with pick up from Giza. Our driver was very prompt and courteous, however he mentioned he had no sleep. For me this was very off putting and dangerous for a long boring 4 hour drive. He wanted loud music the whole trip, I usually prefer to listen to an audiobook but felt like I had to keep our driver awake. We got to the hotel at lunch which was pretty terrible, no drinks included with lunch according to staff but drinks included according to the website. We had 2 pieces of deep fried highly processed something. I honestly couldn't tell if it was chicken or fish, we got the same for the lunch on our return. Our desert trip was FANTASTIC! The vehicle would be my only negative comment as it had an oil leak and the maintenance light on. Not calming when there is no one else in sight haha. Our guide was wonderful ✨️ 5 stars for him! Cooking, cleaning, set up, friendliness he was knowledgeable, friendly, great cook, easy going nothing was too much for him. Hard to just say Mohamoud (sorry about the spelling)
