Ahmed is very kind and positive. He arranged for us two bespoke excursions and made us discover astonishing landscapes, scents and flavours. In the "empty quarter" excursion he drove us on top of a dune and prepared a camp where we could had a wonderful dinner cooked at the moment. Nothing to complain, everything to appreciate.
