We, family of 4, made the Sahara desert trip with the MSDT agency. From the beginning (planning the trip, suggestion) till the end it’s was a wonderful experience. Our guide Mohamed and the driver did everything to make this trip as wonderful as possible. We really felt like traveling with the friends. Mohamed is an amazing guy. He made our trip just perfect. From buying water for us or a eiscreme for my son, making a nice music in the car till organizing everything during the trip Mohamed did a great job. During the travel we saw a lot of groups in the buses and we were so happy to book the private travel tour. Highly recommended !
