Amazing 5 star Adrar Adventures “Do not hesitate to book as an independent traveller with Adrar Adventures if you want the best adventures, memories and experiences. You will be guaranteed a fantastic opportunity to observe and experience Berber Culture, diverse scenery and view historic architecture. All bookings included pick ups from airport the accommodation was selected by the firm, and confirmed via email through Larchen the UK based brother of this family firm. We booked on recommendation from a friend and so glad we did so. The trip was a celebration of both a 40th wedding anniversary year and 60th birthday. Our itinerary was a 5 night package touring Southern Morrocco which included two nights camping in the Sahara. Everything that we requested was delivered in full, was extremely professional and captured the magic of this wonderful country. Our guide Ibrahim (son of the owner) looked after our every need, showed us everything that you read about in the guidebooks and delivered a most professional guide service from sunrises to sunsets. We will never forget climbing the sand dunes to watch the sunrise at Erg Chebbi , camel ride to the Berber Camp or sitting by a camp fire, listening to the drums playing Happy Birthday under the clear sky of the Sahara Desert. These are just a few examples of our full adventure. Use this company to get the best out of Morrocco and rest assured that what you ask for will be delivered and so much more. 100% recommended.”

I had an amazing time with the Adrar Adventure team. They took great care of us, made us feel safe and kept us well fed during our 7 day trek across the Sahara. Our group of about 30 people all enjoyed the experience and would do it all again if we ever have the opportunity to do so. If you are ever visiting morocco then I would highly recommend that you get in touch with the team and arrange a visit t the dessert. The sky above salt pits at night was something I will never forget, it was like looking at the Milky Way. That sight alone as worth the trip!

I went on the 7 day Sahara trek in march 2017 and was very nervous beforehand as I didn’t know what to expect but was reassured by the amazing Berber crew who made us feel comfortable and happy throughout the whole trip. They were very knowledgeable and were able to keep us informed about the weather and terrain for next day. Food and music entertainment on a evening was also an unexpected bonus which made the evenings really fun after a challenging day trekking.
Would definitely recommend to everyone for a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you so much to Lahcen and the team!
