We had a super morning fossil hunting with three young children. It was a fantastic experience for all of us! We found lots of small bone fragments and even several teeth that are around 100 million years old, which was exciting. We were also given the opportunity to take a look inside the tunnels where a lot of real excavation work is being done, which made the experience even more special and authentic. In the end, we bought a Spinosaurus teeth and a pterosaur teeth as unique souvenirs. Highly recommended for families and anyone interested in fossils!

We arranged a full day with them and were more than satisfied! We enjoyed the tour in search of dinosaur fossils with their 4x4, ate freshly cooked Berber pizza in a beautiful oasis, had tea with a nomadic family and reached our tented camp in the dunes (the cemera was gorgeous) for the night, with camel ride. Both the guide and the driver were helpful, competent and considerate. Mohamed speaks and writes perfect English, which is not common in Morocco, which facilitates communication a lot, and always responds quickly always trying to accommodate the needs of the customer and provide the maximum assistance and the best possible experience. Maximum punctuality, honest prices. We could not have asked for more!

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.

The tour was a great experience with Med, he knows a lot of notions and it was funny realizing the dream I had when I was a “little one” (=being Indiana Jones for a day). We visited two different sites and he arranged all the materials. Furthermore, he fluently speaks english, français, arabic and (a bit) italian. To me, this was a big surprise considering his young age. Managing the transactions through paypal was also much easier for me. Grazie mille, Med! Ci vediamo presto!

This tour was a fantastic experience for anyone interested in fossils. Mohamed is a great guide with a lot of knowledge and enthusiasm, and he made the whole day very interesting and enjoyable. During the search we found several different fossils, including trilobites, goniatites and shark teeth. The highlight for me was finding a tooth of the dinosaur Spinosaurus. It has been my favourite dinosaur since childhood, so I never expected that one day I would actually find a fossil of it myself. That moment was a huge and very pleasant surprise. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants to discover fossils and learn more about them in the field.

Mohamed was an excellent guide — friendly, very knowledgeable, and clearly very passionate about fossils. His expertise made the whole experience both educational and exciting. We visited several different locations during the tour. At the first site, we had the chance to see how the extraction process works for some rare and difficult-to-access fossils, such as fossil crinoids. After that, we went fossil hunting ourselves. We searched for trilobites, goniatites, shark teeth, and even bones and teeth of the dinosaur Spinosaurus. We also found beautiful desert roses. It was amazing to discover our own specimens in the field. The tour was very well organized from start to finish. We traveled in a 4×4 vehicle, and the driver handled the terrain safely and also helped us during the fossil search. All the necessary equipment was provided, including hammers, shovels, sieves, and protective glasses, as well as water and food. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a unique experience and the opportunity to learn something new and fascinating from a true expert.

We had a really great day with fossils hunting on the few locations. Mohammed is a very professional guide with perfect knowledge of paleontology. The artefacts we got by our hands are now at home representing one of the greatest experience memory in Morocco. The tour was very well organized, in timely manner. Equipment provided was safe and proper to the adventure. Transportation was more than comfortable. We had food and water provided during the trip. This is unique possibility to do something outstanding in the remote location with great view and scenery. Fossils you get by yourself are much more valuable than those you are able to purchase and brings warm memories. Thanks Med!

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.
