His proficiency and meticulousness made sure everything went smoothly. Hassan and Addi , our guides, were simply outstanding. In addition to their professionalism and expertise, they were also quite amiable, entertaining, and kind. They gave us a genuine and meaningful experience while making sure we were comfortable at every turn, showcasing the splendor of their Berber culture. We cannot say enough positive things about our trip; it far exceeded our expectations. Hassan and Addi became more than just guides; they became buddies we'll keep forever. We're already looking forward to returning to explore Fez and the Blue City. I definitely suggest this tour organization to anyone looking for an exceptional Moroccan vacation!."

"After an amazing 10-day trip with Sahara Morocco Travel, I just got back to Canada. It was the best experience we could have had as two ladies in our 40s traveling to Morocco for the first time. We felt totally protected, at ease, and taken care of from the time our guides welcomed us at the airport until they Ali goodbye ten days later. The program was expertly designed, providing the ideal ratio of leisure, cultural immersion, and adventure. In addition to being extremely courteous and educated, our guides made every minute interesting and enjoyable. While making lifelong memories, we discovered a great deal about Morocco's rich history, customs, and stunning scenery. I wholeheartedly recommend Sahara Morocco Travel to anyone looking for an exceptional and seamless Moroccan experience. This is truly a five-star-plus company that goes above and beyond in every way!"
