Nuestro buen amigo YUNES, Alonso del desierto, para sus amigos de Alicante. Un chaval estupendo que se puede confiar con él.
Incredible experience with AfricaAventuras. Our guide Jammal was very nice and he made the trip very funny! Also Younes helped us for any question we had. A perfect trip to feel the culture, traditions, food, dancing, etc. The desert was a place for reflection and disconnection perfect for us! I really recommend it!.
