Before you go

What the guide flags for first-timers.

  • A good first Sahara-coast stop if you arrange transfers and accept the wind. (Good for · verdict: ok)
  • Taxi drivers who quote a flat 'tourist' price for a short town ride: ask for the meter or agree the fare before you get in. (Scams)
  • Camp or tour touts at the airport with a 'free' pickup that becomes a paid package: book your transfer with your camp or hotel before you land. (Scams)
  • Unlicensed 'guides' who offer a dune or lagoon day cheap and leave you at a track: use a camp or a licensed operator with a written price and a return time. (Scams)
