Enjoyable family experience Our family of five landed in Marrakech a full 24 hrs late due to flight issues but Hamid & Mustafa were right there patiently waiting for us at the airport at 2:00AM. It was evident that point on that we were in absolutely good hands for the entire duration of the trip. We enjoyed every moment of the trip. It was so relaxed and at our pace ( with kids). We had sufficient time to explore and soak in all the places. The Riad arrangements were awesome. The food stops were well thought. At one point our son left his laptop behind ( he is wired into his school work) but Hamid & Mustafa worked their contacts to have the laptop to us before we left Morocco. We would highly recommend them for first time travelers with families.

    The best desert travel experience ever!
  • I went to Morocco with my friend, and we booked a 5-day Merzouga Sahara Desert tour, visiting a range of wonderful places like Ait Ben Haddou, Merzouga Sahara, enjoying a camel ride, exploring the Merzouga area, and the High Atlas Mountains.

    We visited all these places with an excellent guide who was always with us. If you are going to Morocco, do not hesitate—you will enjoy every moment, meet good people, experience a different culture, and see beautiful places. I highly recommend this tour.
