10 Days Casablanca to Imperial Cities and Sahara Adventure

Very well done private family tour. Our driver Soufiane was excellent - knowledgeable, well spoken, very safe, comfortable driving. The accomodations were OK for the trip. The scenery is beautiful and the stops were well chosen. The night in the dessert was great.

A unique experience, a 7-day road trip to discover the "wild" and lesser-known Morocco, between the rocky streets of the High Atlas to the sandy desert of the south-east, passing between lived-in Kasbahs and other abandoned ones still shining with their ancient charm. A continuous discovery of the population of "free men", the Amazigh (Berbers), of their daily life, their habits and their homes. Accompanied by our guide Mustapha, a local expert, as he is also Amazigh. A connoisseur of the places and their culture, he guided us throughout the journey, making us feel part of his people, among the habits and above all the values that remain over time. Excellent guide was able to cope with any situation. An exceptional person who entered our hearts, ensuring that the memory of that land remains with us for a long time in an indelible way.A unique experience, a trip of 7 days on the road to discover Morocco "wild" and less known, between the rocky streets of the high Atlas to the sandy desert of the south-east, passing between Kasbah lived and other abandoned still resplendent of their ancient charm.

Kamal served as the driver for me and my girlfriend Jasmine on a 5-day desert tour from Fes to Marrakech in late August / early September 2018. Getting Kamal as our driver was one of the best things that happened to us in Morocco. Kamal has that special knack for making anyone feel at ease. When he first picked up us, he told us we should think of him as our “brother.” Sure enough, after a couple of hours, we were joking and bantering like siblings. Another quality we appreciated about Kamal was his willingness to customize the trek to our needs. If you want to make less or more stops, you can. If you have a special request, Kamal will make it happen. Before we hopped on camels for our night in the Sahara, we wanted to take a quick swim. Kamal found a dar (guest house) and was able to get the manager to open up early, so we could lounge at the pool. We can’t recommend Kamal and his service highly enough. He treats all his customers like family. He’s funny, kind-hearted, knowledgeable, and has great driving skills. No matter where you’re going or what you’re seeing in Morocco, you’ll be glad Kamal was your guide.

Although tough on the backside, trekking in the desert by camel is a fantastic experience. Our guide "Mustafa" i think, was also quite amusing and even gave us a tune or two on the 90 minute trip to the camp site where we would spend the night.The camp was candle lit, with large sleeping tents. Some mattresses were a little on the hard side for most though...The experience included a lovely dinner, with a fire, Berber music and drums. Drum beat was also used to signal sun rise, giving everyone enough time to climb the dune and look for an enjoyable spot to enjoy the sun rising up in the horizon.Great experience and certainly ticked the bucket list.

As Sophia said in her review, we recently travelled to Merzouga with Houssin from Ksour and had the best time! Houssin was incredibly friendly and professional, and kept us entertained with many hilarious stories, interesting facts, blagues à papa and riddles. He was welcoming and thought of everything, including checking we had enough water for the night in the desert. The drive through the desert in the 4x4 was exhilarating and had many stops for photo opportunities. Meals for the two days were included in the price and were very tasty. The desert itself was a fantastic trip - an hour and a half riding a camel, getting to stay in a berber tent, looking up at the stars in the desert and playing drums with our berber guides and a lovely family who were with us are memories I will never forget. All in all, a wonderful trip and one I would recommend to anyone! Worth every penny!

We're a family that likes authentic, close-to-the-source travel--but we also like clean bathrooms. And Ali made sure that we got always got both on a trip that went from Rabat to the Sahara, to Ouarzazate and Marrakesh. That meant buying silver, rugs and Argan oil from local cooperatives. We tapped into his network of guides all over Morocco, and enjoyed every one that he recommended. He showed us traditional Morocco--one great example is our visit to the Kasbah Amridal--but the new Morocco as well, driving us past the Ouarzazate solar power station because he knew we were interested in it (it is massive!) We did some off-roading to see fossil fields, camel herds, and an ancient desert prison. He made sure we got the overnight camel trip and campout in the Sahara that we wanted--campsite right in the dunes (as opposed to right next to them) and one that came with a snowboard for a little sledding down the dunes! Yahoo!And when it comes to safe driving, Ali is your man, whether it's on winding desert mountain roads or the Tishka pass in the Atlas Mountains.

I felt in love with Morocco after this tour!!The service is unbelievable! Punctual and efficient. Ali (our tour guide) speak Italian very well, plus English, French, Spanish and I don't even remember what else! He always paid attention to what we want (Although I'm vegetarian I loved the food there).We took a tour in the Sahara Desert... amazing! We start from Marrakesh and Ali drove us until the south. The landscapes are amazing, I was speechless about the beauty I have found there!Really a great experience! Great tour guide and great people!I hope to go there again to visit the North' Morocco side.
