Great desert experience - The desert esperience was amazing, I highly recommend this tour with sahara travel trips The only thing we didn’t like was on our trip from marrakesh to merzouga, the stops with a local guide to take us to shops and make us buy carpets and other items.

Unforgettable, definitely something not to be missed - The tour was very well organized. No hickups. The night at and in the touareg tents was amaising. We've spent a fantastic evening with good food, music played by local berbers and a night sky with more stars than ever seen.

Amazing Marocoo with Toufik - Meet Toufik, an extraordinary local guide in Morocco whose warmth, knowledge, and passion for his homeland turn every journey into an unforgettable experience. Hailing from a small Berber village near the High Atlas Mountains, Toufik has spent years guiding travelers across Morocco’s diverse landscapes—from the buzzing souks of Marrakech to the golden dunes of the Sahara. Fluent in multiple languages and deeply connected to Moroccan culture, Toufik offers more than just facts—he shares the spirit of Morocco. Whether he’s leading you through ancient medinas, introducing you to traditional Amazigh music, or arranging a home-cooked meal with a local family, Toufik creates authentic, meaningful moments that stay with you long after your trip ends. With Toufik, Morocco isn’t just a place to visit—it’s a story to be lived.

Very nice stay - We were taken care of by toufik in Marrakech, we did the first part as planned, he knew how to adapt perfectly when we wanted to change our plans because of bad weather and this always in good mood, We had explanations along the way which is a real plus when you discover a new culture and a new country. On site we did different excursions and activities , the guides that toufik advised us were very good too. Thanks to him our stay in the Merzouga desert became one of our most beautiful memories of a family holiday. A big thank you from us 4. See you soon for new adventures .....

Best experience of Morocco! - I highly recommend the trip, everything was amazing: the camel ride, the desert accommodation, the berber village, the wonderful landscapes all around us. The staff was very helpful. Toufik is a very nice person who paid attention to all our needs and solved any request. The buggy ride was astonishing. I ride the buggy through the sand dunes for 1 hour and I can't wait to do that again. Do not skip this trip!!! It is a must do in Morocco. Toufik you are the best! Thank you for the experience of our lives! Greetings from Romania!

An unforgettable experience with an amazing guide - We spent three days in Morocco, and our experience was made even more special thanks to our guide, Ayoub. From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing with us the history, culture, and traditions of the country with great passion. The tour was perfectly organized: we visited extraordinary places, from the fascinating medinas to the majestic desert dunes, all with great attention to detail and our needs. Ayoub was always available, ready to answer all our questions and customize the itinerary according to our preferences. We highly recommend him to anyone who wants to explore Morocco in an authentic and stress-free way. Thank you so much for these wonderful days! Let me know if you’d like any adjustments or if you want to add specific details!
