Testimonials:

The best of Morocco

It has been an amazing trip to the desert and very Pueblo of Morocco. We booked the luxury package and it was totally recommended to us because of the luxury tent in the desert. I have to thank Mahmoud, because without him it would not be the same. Firstly because he is the driver you want to have when you are on a long trip like this in a foreign country, we felt very comfortable on the road. Secondly because he was an excellent guide during the whole trip, not only with the classic explanations of the places, but with all the details of the Moroccan culture, which allowed us to really know the real Morocco and that is the best value of the whole trip. Thank you Mahmoud for being the best guide we have ever had.

Desert adventure

We had a great time from the moment Mohamed picked us up in Marrakech. Very helpful, he always made sure we had good guides along the way. Our favorite part was riding camels and enjoying the desert sand dunes. Lots of stops for coffee or bathroom breaks along the way. We had amazing companions in our van, we were going at 100% of our capacity. the trip would have been a little more comfortable with 2 less people, but overall the van was very comfortable. Mohamed offered Wi-Fi in the van, which was great!!!!! Buy water at all the stops. Give a small amount of tip to the toilet attendants.

An unforgettable experience

The trip to the desert was a unique and unforgettable experience. All the tourist stops were enjoyable. The included tent and hotel were great, including the local dishes (all the staff at the hotel and campsite were amazing and helpful). A great addition to our experience was our guide Hassan, who was very resourceful and always willing to answer questions and contribute positively to our trip. In addition, Hassan never pressured us to buy anything, leaving us free to make our own decisions. I would definitely recommend him as a guide.

The most amazing experience

I did this trip with Ibrahim - it was the most amazing experience we have had in Morocco so far. Spectacular views along the way, great food and unique experiences visiting Berber villages, markets, the desert and much more. The campsite and hotel were great and Ibrahim was not only a super safe driver, but also very funny and always willing to stop for photos. A must do trip if you come to Morocco.

Discover the Sahara Desert

We enjoyed the small group that accompanied us on the tour and our drivers were excellent. They took us to some local stops and even had us taste some very fresh camel milk. The car was comfortable and the guides we had (Hassan and Rachid) gave us information about the history and showed us some amazing places along the way. We loved the trip and it was the highlight of our stay in Morocco. Thank you for having such a great time!
