I’m Mustapha and I run Foum Zguid desert tour. I grew up in a nomadic bedouin camp in the area of Lake Iriki in the Vast Sahara with my family. When I was 12, I left the desert for the first time to move to Foum Zguid and study, so I could go to university. Whilst adjusting to life outside of the city was difficult, I was inspired by the world of opportunity it brings. After graduating from Agadir university with a degree in English, I decided to set up Foum Zguid Desert tour as a way to bring financial sustainability to the desert and share the way of life that I cherish with the rest of the world.

EXCELLENT Based on 60 reviews Posted on Pavel SimaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really enjoyed the desert tour with Mustafa’s team. Everything was well organised, the staff were very friendly and authentic, and the whole trip had a comfortable, relaxed pace. Even the journey into the desert itself is an experience — you pass through different types of Moroccan landscapes, you might come across fossils, and you can even visit a nomadic dwelling. Once you reach the desert, even without going very deep into it, the absolute silence is breathtaking. The sunrise was the most beautiful — and the most photographed — moment of the entire holiday. I definitely recommend it.Posted on Radovan RosákTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Un immense merci à Mustapha pour nous avoir guidé et fait découvrir des endroit merveilleux … Merci encore pour sa gentillesse et sa pédagogie car il a été aussi un excellent professeur de conduite dans le sable !!!Posted on Andreas FentrossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mehr als ein perfektes Team : Mustafa, Mohammed, Adi und Hamid. Ich hatte das Vergnügen 13 Tage eine Sahara-Querung machen zu dürfen. Es war einfach Weltklasse organisiert, jedem sehr zu empfehlen. Die Jungs lieben was sie machen, das merkt man. Danke für die tolle Zeit Freunde. Schade dass es nicht mehr Sterne gibt als 5, für dieses Team wären mehr angebracht:) Beste GrüssePosted on Leon VoigtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was the greatest experience of my life to learn about the nomadic life in the desert just by walking and sharing time with Mustafa, his people and the Dromedars. Thank you so much for everything Mohammed, Adi, Hamid and Musti. The world needs more people like you. I wish you all the best. 10/10Posted on Brigitte SolomenkoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Une expédition exceptionnelle en famille et amis Nous sommes partis de Foum Zguid avec Mustapha comme guide et 2 autres accompagnateurs. Nous sommes partis à 6 adultes et 5 enfants de 5 à 10 ans. Nous avons été pris en charge à 100% : bivouac sauvage, repas, transport... Mustapha est très professionnel, chaleureux, disponible et s'adapte au mieux à nos demandes dans la limite du réalisable et du programme que nous avions convenu : visite d'une école nomade, nuit en bivouac sauvage, oasis, fossile, musique autour d'un feu de camp, dromadaire... On a extrêmement bien mangé. Les enfants ont adoré joué dans les dunes et dormir à la belle étoile ou sous une tente selon leurs envies. C'était notre 1ère expérience dans le désert, on a tout adoré. Mustapha est un super guide qui parle très bien français et partage volontiers la culture et le mode de vie des touaregs.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
