The whole trip was exciting and memorable. Every day we visited unique places that inspired me as an artist. It was a great experience.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Be prepared to be mobile, as you will be traveling a lot. Use every moment of the trip for inspiration, take a lot of photographs, and sketch as much as you can. We stayed in comfortable places and had enough time to rest and recover, which helped us deal with the trip's intensity.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We traveled across the country with a local driver, stayed in small sustainable hotels maintained by local people, and purchased food and goods from local tradespeople. I believe our travel was sustainable and benefited local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Overall the vacation was perfect, and I would recommend it to other artists.Eva Skyllberg review 27 Mar 2019

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Visiting the desert, the wonderful Adobe accommodation nearby, the fantastic locations for sketching and the visit by camel riding off into the sunset in the sand dunes and staying overnight in a Nomad's Tent to watch sunrise.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Please dress warmly if booking for March, as even though the sun shines, it can be quite cold. Take lots of photos - locations for sketching are very inspiring. Absorb the atmosphere.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We stayed in local accommodation. We met Berber people and sometimes shared our food. We didn't leave any plastics or rubbish behind.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
I really had a marvellous experience of the desert life, very spontaneous, often stopping to paint buildings, doors, etc. as we passed by. Hamid was a fantastic driver and went out of his way to show us his country. I adored Hassen's Guest House in the desert - very rustic - and it even has a swimming pool! Mary was a wonderful teacher and very patience and tried to get the best out of us. She had given us tasks to do, so it was very helpful as we sketched. I would go again on this vacation.Holiday Reviews
