Sahara Desert

Hands down one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had.

I originally booked a motorbike fossil hunting excursion through Sahara Fossils, and after chatting with Mohamed, it quickly became so much more. We added the Wild Desert Camp, and before we knew it, he had helped shape an entire 4-day adventure for us, including some amazing hotel stays.

From the very beginning, Mohamed was exceptional. Anything we needed, he handled immediately and effortlessly. He even invited us to join him for iftar with his mum and extended family, which gave us such a genuine and immersive insight into Moroccan culture, something you simply can’t put a price on.

The Wild Desert Camp was a highlight in itself. Mohamed taught us how to cook traditional Moroccan food over the campfire, and we spent the evening playing cards with him and our camel guide. Sleeping under the stars in the desert felt both peaceful and completely safe it was such a special experience.
The fossil hunting day was equally incredible. Riding motorbikes across the desert added a real sense of adventure, and we found so many fossils that I genuinely wasn’t sure how I’d get them home! Mohamed was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to make sure we were sorted, which really sums up the level of care he gives to his clients.

I can honestly say this was one of the most immersive and memorable trips I’ve ever had. What Mohamed offers is worth far more than what he charges.

We will absolutely be returning and we wouldn’t book with anyone else.

Mohamed did an amazing job of teaching us and helping us to find fossils. He was so great with our 4 kids (ages 3, 5, 8, and 10). We all had the best day and learned so much! It was everything we hoped for and more! Thank you, Mohamed!!

This was a great day fossils hunting
Mohamed is very knowledgeable ,very nice and easy going.
It was a real unforgettable adventure

Absolutely amazing experience fossil hunting with Mohamed. We found a bunch of fossils from shells to trilobites so this was very exciting! He has a lot of experience and knowledge and his driver, too. They were both very kind and we had a lot of fun and also learn a lot. It really is an amazing experience hunting for fossils in the middle of the dessert so if you are coming to Merzouga, this us something you absolutely have to book. Im pretty sure he is also the only one that takes you hunting like this.

Awesome Experience with Mohamed. He knows many secret outcrops that are full of several kinds of fossils (ammonites, orthoceras, trilobotes and if you are lucky you can find some autoctonous rare organisms). It is a real adventure everyone should try. Beware of scammers around and trust this guy, he knows what to do to make it special! Hope to see you soon Momo 🙏🌈

I recently went on a fossil hunting trip in the desert with Mohamed, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From the very beginning, Mohamed was incredibly kind, welcoming, and professional. He has an impressive knowledge of fossiliferous areas.

What made this trip especially unique was Mohamed’s ability to guide us to remote, rarely visited sites. These hidden spots were rich with fossils such as ammonites, orthoceras, trilobites.

If you’re looking for a genuine adventure and want to discover parts of the desert that few people ever see, I highly recommend booking a trip with Mohamed. Cherry on the top, he prepared moroccan tea setting a fire in the middle of the desert.

We casually bumped into Mohamed because his family restaurant had really good reviews (berber pizza is a MUST TRY). We were interested in the fossil hunting and we went with him. That was a BLAST! He knows many outvrops and rock formations full of trilobites, ammonites, shells, corals and more which are not that available to people (you can either walk 2 hours into the wild desert or get a jeep) but it is going to be an unforgettable experience, not just for the fossils but also for the company. Hands on guys, this is a good dude🙏🌈

Mohammed was a wonderful guide along with his very experienced partner. A short drive into the desert and we were fossil hunting. They gave us an interesting geologic walk where we found numerous varieties of fossils. Was well worth the time spent learning about the natural history of the area and fun fossil hunting with panoramic views in the mountains. Would definitely recommend!!

The teens in our family were so excited about the fossil hunting adventure and it did not disappoint. The ride to the place was already an adventure in itself, on a motorcycle and through the sand.
Hunting the fossils went with a lot of banging and clanging from tools, climbing the hill, enthusiastic shouts when a fossil was found, great fun for the whole family.
Mohamed was a great guide in leading us in this adventure. We can only recommend him and his site and offers.
