Unforgettable Experience With Moha and Halid

5.00Moha and Halid are more than just guides. They are people with big hearts who put true passion into their work, and they love sharing the beauty of this country and its culture with those who come to visit. I had a wonderful experience, with them I never felt alone for a single moment. We left from Marrakech with a short stop to admire the breathtaking landscape of Tizi n’Tichka, the most famous road leading to Ouarzazate and Ait Ben Haddou, one of the desert’s UNESCO wonders. The next day, after passing through the Todra Gorges and stopping in the river valley, we continued our journey to Merzouga… sandboarding, dinner, and music under a sky full of stars, before heading back to Marrakech at sunrise. This trip gives you the chance to truly connect with the local culture and explore incredible landscapes, all while being guided by two amazing people with whom I laughed and talked so much. Without them, the experience wouldn’t have been the same . absolutely unforgettable! I highly recommend choosing them for your next trip with their professionalism, kindness, and great sense of humor, they’ll make your journey even more special! Thank you so much, and see you next time, my friends ❤️
Moha made the trip unforgettable

5.00I had a fantastic trip with our guide Moha. He was always extremely supportive, knowledgeable, and very funny, which made the whole journey so much more enjoyable. The accommodation and meals throughout the tour were also great — much better than we expected. If I had to mention one thing that could be improved: on the second day, the local guide at the oasis (I forgot his name) didn’t speak very good English, and we spent too much time in the carpet shop, which made the schedule a bit rushed afterwards. I would have loved to spend more time in the valley. Overall, still an amazing experience — highly recommended!

5.00We had the most amazing experience with our group in the Merzouga desert, and during the trip to go there from marrakech. Our guide Moha was the best we could wish for, framing the dynamics of the group (what a difficult task with so many nationalities and personalities !), leading us to amazing and specifically chosen places and guides for visits, being flexible yet righteous towards everyone. The trip is well organised, stunning, we meet beautiful people, do amazing (and Amazighs ! lol) things, learn a lot, in all possible ways 🩵 thank you so much to Moha and to the group (and to Benef the monkey-sloth) for this adventure, keep going, life is beautiful✨ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

5.00We had a lovely 4-days trip from Marrakech to Merzouga with Saïd, brother of Mohamed. We enjoyed every part of it. Trip was tailor made to our expectations. Säid was not only a good driver, but most importantly, a great guide during all these days. The fact that he is a Berber gave us a privilege to meet his family and local culture. I totally reccomend going on a trip either with Mohamed or Saïd!
MOHA was very friendly and we participated

5.00Our adventure was unforgettable. From the moment we met MO , his friendly demeanor and easygoing attitude put us at ease. He went out of his way to be flexible with our schedule, allowing us to take in the desert at our own pace. The scenery was jaw dropping rolling dunes, endless skies, and a sense of freedom we'd never experienced before. Along the way, Mo made sure we were comfortable, safe, and most importantly, having fun. We didn't just see the desert.,we lived it. This tour was more than just sightseeing, but was an adventure that brought joy, laughter, and memories we'll cherish for a long time
three days
