Danilo A commented: ‘I embarked on a four-day expedition, mainly focusing on the Erg Chebbi desert… I was referred to ‘Ali’s’ services by a mate, after reaching out to him and finalizing the details pertaining to scheduling of dates, duration, and cost (in relation to the matter of cost after comparing with other agencies and acknowledging their competitive pricing… the decision was made!!!).’
