  • The spirit of Morocco

    zlatinar2023,,Dec 14, 2025

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    There are journeys that simply expand your map. And there are journeys that expand you. Morocco was unmistakably the latter. From the very first to the very last day, the trip was organized with remarkable precision, attention to detail, and genuine respect for the traveler—not merely as a tourist, but as a guest welcomed into an ancient and magnetic culture. The balance between a rich itinerary, free time, and authentic experiences was, frankly, impressively spot-on. Morocco revealed itself to us in all its facets—vibrant and colorful in the medinas, majestic and silent in the desert, aromatic, warm, and alive. Each day brought a new story, a new flavor, a new shade of wonder. Nothing felt scripted; everything felt real. Special appreciation is due to the organization, the local guides, and the accompanying team—professional, calm, knowledgeable, and possessing that rare quality of being supportive without ever being intrusive. When everything flows seamlessly, one rarely considers the effort behind it. Here, everything did just that—smoothly, safely, and with undeniable class. We set off for Morocco with curiosity. We returned with admiration. And with that faint, bittersweet feeling of wanting just a little more. Thank you for the experience, for the professionalism, and for turning a journey into a memory—one that will be retold for a long time, with a smile and a sparkle in the eyes. With great pleasure—again, and always with you. Thank you, Mouhssin, for the excellent organization. And heartfelt thanks to Ali for all the days he devoted to us and for being with us every step of the way. Има пътувания, които разширяват географията ти. И има пътувания, които разширяват теб самия. Мароко беше от втория вид. От първия до последния ден екскурзията беше организирана с изключителна прецизност, внимание към детайла и уважение към пътуващия човек – не просто като турист, а като гост в една древна и магнетична култура. Балансът между наситена програма, свободно време и автентични преживявания беше почти… подозрително добър. Мароко се разкри пред нас във всичките си лица – шумно и цветно в медините, величествено и мълчаливо в пустинята, ароматно, топло и живо. Всеки ден носеше нова история, нов вкус, нов цвят. Нищо не беше „по учебник“, всичко беше истинско. Отделни адмирации заслужават организацията, местните водачи и съпровождащият екип – професионални, спокойни, информирани и с онова рядко качество: да предразполагат, без да натоварват. Когато нещо върви гладко, човек дори не се замисля колко труд стои зад това. А тук всичко вървеше именно така – гладко, сигурно и с класа. Тръгнахме към Мароко с любопитство. Върнахме се с възхищение. И с онова леко тъжно усещане, че искаш още. Благодаря за преживяването, за професионализма и за това, че превърнахте едно пътуване в спомен, който ще се разказва дълго – с усмивка и блясък в очите. С удоволствие – отново и пак с вас. Благодаря за организацията, Мосин! Благодаря на Али за всичките дни, които отдели и беше с нас!

    This trip was the highlight of our trip through Morocco with two young children aged 5 and 7. What an experience! First of all we would like to thank Anouar very much: a very caring driver with a big heart who knows the road inside out. Hairpin bends, beautiful vistas, breathtaking landscapes that seem to flow into a completely different world every few minutes — all punctuated with interesting stories of Anouar who talks with so much love about his country and Berber culture. We also had the honor and great fortune to meet his beautiful family in Tineghir, which will stay with us and our children forever. Along the way there was always room for a stopover. The arrival in Merzouga was amazing: everything felt so magical and the children enjoyed it immensely. The nomad tents are amazing and we were served the most delicious tagines. Also the music and the campfire: everything felt perfect. The hospitality we experienced during this trip is incredible: warm and loving. On the way to Fez we made a short stop and we could see monkeys, for the children also really great. Anouar, I hope that one day we have the honor of meeting you and your family again — you were not only a great driver but also became our friend. Thank you for giving us such beautiful memories and sharing your knowledge and love with such enthusiasm!

    What a fantastic three-day adventure we just experienced! A once-in-a-lifetime journey: We set off from Marrakech, heading towards the Atlas Mountains, reaching the Tizi n'Tichka Pass at an impressive altitude of 2260 meters. Following the Kasbah route, our first major stop was in the stunning valleys of Telouet and Ait Ben Haddou. This area has been the backdrop for numerous blockbuster films, including "Gladiator" and "Prince of Persia." At each point of interest, we paused to take in the beauty, eventually making our way to our first night in the breathtaking Dades Canyon. On day two, after a spectacular breakfast, we continued our journey towards the Todra Gorges, a region known for its rich Berber heritage, towering cliffs, and nomadic lifestyle. After lunch, we ventured into the Sahara, where we embarked on an amazing camel ride, culminating in a stunning sunset over Merzouga. Experiencing this magical moment was truly unforgettable! Our final night was spent in a beautiful glamping Berber tent, where we felt like royalty. We were warmly welcomed and treated to a delightful Moroccan dinner. As the evening drew to a close, we enjoyed a private performance of local music under a breathtaking starry sky. We woke early at 6:00 AM to witness the sunrise, and after breakfast, we made our way back to Marrakech for our last evening. This entire experience came highly recommended by our Riad O, thanks to Manu. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our two incredible and experienced guides, Khalid and Mohammed, who took such wonderful care of us throughout these three days. We wholeheartedly recommend this extraordinary trip! Warm regards, Claude en Veronique

    We had an amazing experience on this private tour! Khalid and Anouar, our drivers were incredibly enthusiastic and friendly, making us feel welcome and taken care of throughout the journey. They were not only great drivers but also knowledgeable guides, answering all our questions and showing us some real hidden gems along the way. The landscapes were breathtaking—from the golden dunes of Merzouga to the stunning rock formations of the Todra Gorges. Everything was well-organized, and we truly felt immersed in the beauty of Morocco. Highly recommended!

    We were picked up promptly in a comfortable car. Despite the rain in the morning, Mohammed immediately created a pleasant atmosphere. We drove through breathtaking landscapes, experienced authentic Berber life and enjoyed Moroccan cuisine. Mohammed, very dutiful, informative, very discreet and very attentive. It was a pleasure to experience this three-day trip with him. Well organized trip.

    Our 3-day private tour in the Merzouga Desert was fantastic. Khalid Hazard and Anouar Qatari were great guides who made us feel comfortable and welcome. The sunset over the dunes was magical. The night in a traditional Berber tent was a highlight, with a clear starry sky and a delicious dinner by the campfire. Khalid and Anouar provided beautiful pictures and shared interesting stories. Their friendliness and expertise made this tour truly special. Thanks for an unforgettable experience!

  • What a great experience to learn to know part of Marocco outside Marrakesh.

    We had such a good time with our guide. He explained lots of things on what we saw, but also on the way of living, how people were thinking, side notes on movies, jokes during the open fire in the desert camp.... Felt like the guide was part of the family. Thank for this superb tour we really enjoyed that much. We were already missing you two minutes after we got back to the hotel after the trip. Hope to see you again Abdoul !!!

    We had a wonderful 3-day stay with Khalid El Aissaoui. A great guy to tour with for 3 days. Humour, good conversations... quickly finding solutions for interrupted bridges, safe journey through the mountains... we've all had it. The journey through the different landscapes was incredible. The stay in the desert to remember. This 3-day trip to Morocco has completely finished. Highly recommended! Thank you Khalid... You have made a wonderful journey for us!
