About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 450chungs0 contributionsThank you for all the help and great care of us.Our Moroccan trip was an experience of a lifetime. We don't have words enough to express our gratitude towards this wonderful team for providing us with an unforgettable 7day in Morocco. Very helpful and always keeping in touch with us via WhatsApp. Picked up on time every time. I think this was the best way to immerse yourself in Morocco, especially if it's your first time in this country. A quick shout out to Zayd, who was very punctual and lovely, we learned so much from our time with driver Zayd, about his culture and other random facts and observations. It was sad to say goodbye. Overall, I would highly recommend deserttrips and would definitely use them again for our next trip.Written 20 September 2024
- miyokos20240 contributionsSharing our unforgettable Morocco experienceThis tour was amazing. Having a super driver, Said, made the trip even more exciting. He drove safely, was always punctual, gave us all the necessary information and explained about the daily lives of local people. We cannot thankful him enough. More than 2000km drive. We had lots of fun with him. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone planning to travel to Morocco. Thanks again Said for the great trip.Written 19 September 2024
- T7278ZIac0 contributionsLucky we booked this tour! Exactly what we needed.I am so lucky we decided to take a tour with Said and Desert Trips! If we hadn't, I think we would have missed the heart and soul of Morocco! This trip includes a lot of time on the road, but it's worth it to see the cities, landscapes, and people that make this country so special. We particularly enjoyed the Fes tour, and of course the highlight of a night in the beautiful Sahara desert at Erg Chebbi. The Oasis camp is beautiful, and we never had any issues with our accommodations, which were all great. The hotel in Dades Gorge was particularly impressive. Said made our trip extra special by surprising us with a birthday celebration including singing and dancing in the desert. Truly a time we will remember for the rest of our lives.Written 18 September 2024
- 514garancem0 contributionsLOVE<3 this team, and will definitely use them again!! Thank you for an amazing experience! ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!This was by far our most enjoyable trip ever. Deserttrips made the arrangements for everything. They were able to put together a plan that took all our goals into account, mixing big attractions and small ones. We booked a 12-day tour and had a top guide. His care and hospitality were unmatched. Tariq made us feel at home, helping us navigate the moroccan culture and customs. Thank you Tariq. Every detail was so well thought through.. Med made our planning so easy. We changed things several times with no problems. Just told him what we wanted, and he sent us several itineraries till we found the one that suited us. Answered any and all questions we had about traveling to Morocco. Great to talk to someone who's in country to help with your questions. As for our vacation, everything went flawlessly thanks to deserttrips. they had everything set up for us from hotels/riads, tour guides, and transportation.... (with pick up and drop off). Made the vacation so effortless for us. If you're looking to going on vacation to morocco contact them you won't regret it. I could go on but suffice it to say that it's the best vacation we've ever had !!!Written 18 September 2024
- Miyuki04040 contributionsFelt Morocco's breeze and warms of Moroccans a lot!What's a great experience! Lot of things to see, great Riad (Moroccan-style hotel), foods are fabulous. My friend and I just got explored and had such fun together. Thank you so much SAID, our great driver!! You made our trip so special!! Not only a good driver you are, but very friendly, fun with knowledges! We learned so much about Morocco and local Moroccans through you. My impression about Morocco is that people are so energetic, so kind and very safe country. We both are seniors, so this private tour worked perfect for us, too.Written 17 September 2024
- gladsont20220 contributionsWonderful experienceI can only echo the wonderful experiences of others mentioned here. Special thanks to Said, who was our guide for all the 10 days. Who took good care of us. Road trip with kids was expected to be hard, but the 10 days went like a breeze and kids enjoyed it as well. Fes medina was my pick for the tour. Probably because of the nicely it was explained to us by our guide. A huge thanks to Said and organizers for giving us such a memorable experience.Written 2 September 2024
- garydW5896CI0 contributionsSit back and let the experts plan your ideal adventure.!Look no further for your trip into Morocco! Initial contact was quick with no holding in queue. I outlined our trip requirements which were all noted. As promised, within a day, we received a detailed itinerary. Also gave us tips and answered all of our questions about the trip Huge thank you to Zayd, he was exceptionally kind, and most importantly, being a safe and knowledgeable driver. a trip I’ll never forget. Was amazing all around the places, accommodation, people, food, itinerary really well planned and stress free.Written 31 August 2024
- 930calistam0 contributionsCan't wait for the next one!!I have just got back from Morocco. I’m writing this review as I’m currently sat in my room! There are no words to describe the 7 day tour other than absolutely AMAZING!! They planned everything for you so no stress, it was so well thought out and a really good value for money taking into account, transport, accommodation, the activities, and the meals that were included. The riads and hotels we stayed in were nearly all very luxurious, so if you’re more of a travel in style person then this trip is for you. Just as much for you, if you love culture, adventure, and the sahara desert, the trip has everything! And I couldn’t have asked for better people to share the experience with - I would highly recommend joining one of their tours, you will have a blast! Thank you Med for coming up with this amazing Itinerary! Big shout out to Addi for the best summer I have ever had! Addi my driver was so supportive and kind from the start he made me feel welcome immediately and any anxieties were gone! Hope to see you both in the future!!Written 30 August 2024
- silekee0 contributionsThey helped us plan an unforgettable vacation in Morocco.We recently had an incredible, stress-free trip to Morocco, all thanks to Deserttrips. The entire journey was meticulously planned, from our city tours to transport, hotel/riad accommodations...etc, making it one of the most enjoyable vacations we’ve ever had. Our guides in Fes and Marrakesh were outstanding—their deep knowledge of the history and culture added so much to our visits to Morocco. They spoke fluent English and were very informative. The most outstanding part of the tour was the guide and driver, Moha, we spent a lot of time with him. He's an exceptional human being and was the most accommodating driver I’ve ever experienced. He’s a 10/10! He was always timely and His historical knowledge is truly exceptional. From start to finish, they planned our vacation flawlessly and easy to email, and text at all times. I was so impressed by them that I would recommend each one of them absolutely and with the most confidence!Written 29 August 2024
- 514maraw0 contributionsThanks to all the staff of DesertTrips, it was one of the best trips we had!!We joined a 10 day tour by DesertTrips. we visited places including Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Meknes, Fes, Ziz Valley, Desert of Merzouga, Rissani, Arfoud, Todra Gorges, Dades Valley, Ouarzazate, Ait Benhaddou, Tizi-n-Tichka Pass, and Marrakech. it was an amazing tour that we will never forget, also Moroccan landscape is wonderful. the landscape was unexpected and dramatic, the people friendly, and the entire trip very safe. the car we had was spacious, comfortable and routinely cleaned by our wonderful driver, A lot of people in restaurants and hotels speak English, but it was so helpful to have Khalil. Khalil was our guide & driver for the entire tour around the country. He also replies to our messages within minutes and picks up our calls immediately. his presence made the atmosphere lively and joyful. the best thing is always on time, you never need to look for him, because his always around you. Our daily routine starts with Khalil greeting us at the Melliber Apartment Hotel in Casablanca, giving us a briefing about what our destinations are and what would be the highlights for the day, and hitting the road. riding with Khalil is never boring he is doing an excellent job, we feel all safe and taken care of (I think this is the most important part when you travel in a new country). he told us a lot about the country its history, politics, language, lifestyle, and Amazigh culture (Berber)....talks from time to time depending on where we get to which broadened our horizons! his presence made the atmosphere lively and joyful. also knew exactly what kinds of food we were craving for lunches, and was always able to bring us to the just right local eateries along the trip. Khalil is simply The best guide that I have ever toured with. we had the opportunity in some cities to have a local guide who showed us the best places with background information and histories. while there is a lot of driving, seeing Chefchaouen and sleeping in the Desert were absolutely worth it. we really enjoyed all the experience provided, and we will surely go back again to Morocco to experience it even further. ten day went fast!! we got to ride camels around the desert, drink incredible tea, and watch the sunset in the peaceful desert, the experience was truly wonderful and so was the food! It was an incredible trip, we loved the riads they chose, we liked the food, the people, the history and geography of the country. we would also like to thank our wonderful local guide in Fes, Hassan. he is enthusiastic and is a kind-hearted person. he is also very humorous, which made our tour in Fes a very fun, so many thanks to Med for preparing our itinerary considering all our needs and places we wanted to visit, and he gave the best recommendations in terms of places to explore, Last but not least, big thanks to our responsible driver/guide who kept us safe - Khalil! he truly made this experience more amazing than we could've ever thought possible. It is an experience that I recommend to everyone!Written 23 August 2024
- O9644ILsaras0 contributionsUnforgettable Moroccan Adventure Well Organized Moroccan nature and culture!!!A private tour is a fantastic way to see Morocco. Everything from our initial email contact and arrangements through to the car, driver, guide, accommodation, food, and the flexibility was great. We highly recommend DesertTrips. my friend and I truly enjoyed our experience in Morocco, especially our tour guide/driver, who took care of us during the whole trip. Med well arranged our trip and also the accommodation they booked for us was pretty awesome too!! the time flew by but by the time we left, we felt we had seen the country with our eyes and with our hearts. Our guide was an excellent driver from the crazy traffic in the cities to the mountain passes, we felt safe and relaxed. I was expecting a magical experience, but it was much much more!! Khalil was our bridge for language, finding ATMS, what to order, how to pay, adjusting transportation, finding our riads/hotels, and special stops. We learned so much about history, culture, religions, food, art, gardens, Deserts, camels, language... etc. Stopped at so many interesting places all over the country. the restaurants we visited were excellent and very inexpensive while being authentic in all ways. the flexibility for things like time for lunch breaks in the driving and there was a lot of driving. during the time spent in the desert, it was difficult to focus our view on something because there were so many beautiful views! We rode camels into the deep desert to watch the sunset woke up to the sunrise, and sandboarded over the dunes to enjoy the tranquility of the magic desert. Standing on the sand dunes and watching the sunrise is not the same as going to other countries. we loved every day and every new place we visited. lastly, I would like to thank "DesertTrips" for arranging the best guide/driver, "Khalil" to give us, he was always willing to accommodate our wishes while accomplishing our goals, service was so personalized and valued for the price. that I will use it again for sure!!Written 18 August 2024
- Moroccanfan0 contributionsNorth Morocco, off the well known tourist placesWe started off from Marrakech and stopped in Casablanca. Also I had been to Casablanca before, I never toured the Hassan II mosque. We headed for the 3pm tour, as this one is less crowded. Most tourist groups go for the morning one. After the tour, which lasts roughly 45 minutes, we continued to Rabat. The hotel recommended Dinner at Dar Naji, a typical Moroccon restaurant, excellent food. The next morning we left for the village of Bhalil, where the guide took us to a cave home. Apparently there are 500 cave homes in the village, they are hidden so. it was 44C outside, but the caves feel very cool and pleasant. The lady showed me how to make buttons for the Djebbalah's. We left Bhalil and stayed overnight in Taza, a town, absolutely not geared up to tourists. We left the next morning for Oujda, which is about 15km from the Algerian boarder. The town has a very modern part and then of course the Medina and souks, frequented by the locals. The next day we left for Al-Hamida, a beautiful drive along the mediteranean coast. We stayed overnight in Cala Iris. We left Cala Iris and drove over a dirt road for about 11km. We passed acres and acres of Hashish fields, grown here for medicinal purposes. We headed direction Tetouan and stayed at the Ecolodge Ferma Jebala, situated above Tetouan. We had excellent food here, a chicken Tajine and breakfast with fresh cheese, olives, eggs, honey etc was the best I have eaten for a long time. The next day we headed for Rabat, but I decided to stay Sale at Dar El Mouhit. The stay at the Riad was a highlight, as the lady who looks after it, Mrs Amina is a real character. All in all, a very good trip, I wanted to see a different Morocco, but suggest, probably spring or autumn would be better, as less hot. The temperature in the coastal areas were better, but it was very busy with Moroccon tourists. I had Rachid from Morocco Montravels as my guide and driver. I can highly recommend him. I have been travelling with him on several occasions. He is an excellent driver and communicates well. Thank you Rachid, I will be back for another trip for sure. Will try to find some off the beaten track places.Written 31 July 2024
- nutnichab20240 contributionsI had an amazing trip with my FamilyOur family’s trip to Morocco in July 2024 was a phenomenal experience, thanks to the impeccable planning by Deserttrips. they crafted a perfectly comfortable and enjoyable 6-day itinerary that took us through Fes, Merzouga Desert, Dades Valley, Ouarzazate, Ait Benhaddou, and Marrakech. Moha was our driver and guide, he was wonderful! Moha went above and beyond what he was supposed to do and even took us to some local places to eat. The local guides were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, providing us with rich insights into the history and culture of each location. They showed us so many things we never would have known to see! The riad and hotel accommodations were top-notch, offering comfort and convenience, while the meals provided were consistently delicious, showcasing the best of Moroccan cuisine. All in all, this was a very positive experience and most importantly, it was very stress-free. Once again, We are immensely grateful and heartfelt thanks to Deserttrips for making our trip ever-memorable. We highly recommend their services to anyone planning to visit Morocco!Written 28 July 2024
- jyl123450 contributionsWonderful tripSaid was an amazing driver. He was very respectful, kind, and gave us great tips when we navigated around the country. This was an astonishing experience and I fully recommend anyone to go on this tripWritten 28 July 2024
- Sightseer309203731310 contributionsMoroccan Sojourn '24Wow, what an amazing trip we just had in Morocco. We returned home last night thoroughly impressed with this exciting and varied country as well as the itinerary, organisation and planning by Desert Trips. I have just now had a look at some of the reviews posted by previous trip goers and can absolutely confirm that all the positive comments are accurate and completely warranted. The photos and itineraries they show are exactly what you would expect and are representative of what we experienced. A real highlight was traveling with Said, our driver guide who accompanied us in the same vehicle for the whole trip. It was comforting knowing that we were safe and secure in his hands. His knowledge of the journey, experience, friendly disposition and helpfulness were outstanding. We were amazed at the number of people he knew and introduced us to along the way. He was always on time with a smile and fresh chilled water and happy to alter the schedule to suit our interests where necessary. He is an extremely generous man with a big heart. We had local guides in Fes and Marrakech who were also excellent. The accommodation and locations at each stop easily met and at times exceeded our expectations. The included breakfasts and dinners were great and introduced us to some (and at times too much) delicious Moroccan food which we are missing already. The trip covers a lot of ground and we were impressed at how much of this geographically and culturally diverse country we were able to experience. The contrasts from modern cities to the sea, mountains, the desert, dry arid landscapes, oasis and fertile farmland were surprising and engaging. We extended our trip by several days (13 in total) and this was no problem for either Said or Desert Trips. We were very grateful that we could customise our plans without any complications. Everything went smoothly without any hiccups at all. Overall we can't speak highly enough of our Moroccan adventure with Said and Desert Trips and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.Written 25 July 2024

Our trip was expertly planned and perfectly combined. We never realized we had a Moroccan fantasy, but this company turned out to be the key to making it come true. met generous people, ate great food, stayed at gorgeous locations, and experienced memorable events. The itinerary encompassed Marrakech, Dades Valley, Merzouga, Fes, Chefchaouen, and Casablanca. I had never envisioned that this trip would evolve into such a splendid experience, traversing diverse landscapes and patterns. Commencing from the bustling medina (Marrakech Red City), journeying to the filming locations of "Gladiator" at Ait Benhaddou village, and visiting the largest studio in Africa, the Atlas Studios in Ouarzazate, each day held remarkable moments. The 4x4 drive in the Sahara desert was even more fascinating, with the sand rising dramatically from the Erg Chebbi. Riding the camels in the large seas of dunes was wonderful, as they were perfectly cared for. I cherished the campfire accompanied by Amazigh music, stargazing in the desert sky, and watching shooting stars. Overall, I would recommend this tour to anyone, and make sure to ask for Saiid as your driver and tour guide to plan a trip that will change the way you think about travel when the desert calls and when the magic of Moroccan travel calls!

My friends and I did the 10 Day Marrakech By South Desert and Imperial Cities Private Tour with Desert Trips and I would highly recommend it. I would recommend it based both on the experiences we had on the tour itself and the ease and piece of mind it gave us while traveling. Having a driver to take care of all the logistics in Morocco is something I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of traveling in Morocco. I know for a fact it saved us a lot of time and headaches.
Prior to traveling Desert Trips helped us setup an itinerary that really worked well for us and our interests. We were able to do things like historical tours throughout (the Kasbah tour we took was one of my favorite tours ever), a food tour, a FANTASTIC cooking class where we made our own Tagine's, camel rides and camping in the desert, a wine tasting that I would also HIGHLY recommend and much, much more. Morocco really has it all.
Our guide Khalil was also an excellent host. He did a great job getting us where we needed to be when we needed to be there. But he was more then that, he was absolutely invaluable when it came to really learning about Morocco itself. I really don't think we would have gained as much knowledge and insights about our experiences if it wasn't for him. We asked him a lot of questions!
And with Khalil at our side we also got a lot of opportunities to learn more about Berber's/Amazigh's culture and history, which I think we all really appreciated, and was probably the biggest highlight of our tour. My mind was really blown by some of the absolute ingenuity of there culture, plus they have pretty good music that he introduced us to.
Again, I highly recommend this specific tour with Desert Trips and really the concept of having a driver and tour guide in Morocco. I think it will definitely make your time their more well spent.

Post the COVID lock downs we restarted our international travel with a 10 day trip to enchanting Morocco, our love of mystic and ancient countries led us to selecting this beautiful country. And i initially got a trip iteneary from an agency in my home town and after a few searches online i stumbled upon Deserttrips, the reviews were 5* rated and i contacted Khalil. Not only was the whole trip about 70% cheaper than the one i got from home agency but the places we stayed were out of this world. Khalil picked us from the airport and we arrived at our first 'Riad' a riad is like a boutique hotel with all the Moroccan bells and whistles, the mosaics, the chandeliers etc. Don't worry about the small doors or the alleys they are situated, once the doors open you are transported into a magical world of 16 or 17th century kings!! The entire trip was very well planned with local foods all over the place and at every stop. Be sure to book a food tour through them at Marrakech!. We were very well taken care of by Khalil and his team. His jokes and joyous nature made some 5 hour drives feel like an hour. We would always cherish the trip and every moment we experienced. Don't worry about the riads that they give, they are top notch guaranteed. And Morocco as a country surprised me first with their cleanliness, the driving culture and finally the wonderful hospitality at all the places we stayed, i wish Khalil and his team many more success stories and continue to give magical experiences to your guests.

This was our first time to Morocco country and Africa continent as a whole and I must say this tour was incredibly culturally enlightening. Our private 10 Day tour around Morocco exceeded all expectations. This excursion was excellent value for money, The entire experience was unforgettable. We found the country to be beautiful with many different wonderful experiences. We were perhaps a little uneasy coming into the country because of our unfamiliarity with this part of the world, Being on this tour took away the stress we would’ve had if we tried to do it on our own. I had done my research before the trip and decided to use DesertTrips, Med organized a personal tour, and he was very flexible, responded to my questions, and was helpful in accommodating all of our desires in planning this tour. We were picked up from Airport by our driver/guide Hssaine and we are convinced that our time in Morocco exceeded our high expectations because of him - he was very professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and had a great sense of humor. We had a wonderful experience, and he took care of all our needs. He also taught us a lot about Moroccan and Amazigh culture and introduced us to some great Moroccan music! religions, and history. We would certainly recommend friends and family request Hssaine as their driver on future trips, he is reliable and responsible. The riads & hotels we stayed at were nice, the local tours in Marrakech and Fes were really great, we were also very pleased with the expert guides arranged for us in ( Marrakech and Fes) from whom we learned a lot about Moroccan history, everyone was so friendly, and we have no complaints about the riads & hotels that they booked for us and no complaints about their car which was relatively new and very clean. We had an amazing experience in the Sahara Desert, which was the best part of the tour. Riding camels in the Desert was something I had always wanted to do and getting the opportunity was incredible, and the chance to watch the sunset in a truly beautiful setting is not to be missed, the dinner was amazing. Finishing the night around the campfire and looking at the stars topped off a brilliant night that me and my friend ended up staying the night. We enjoyed our time with DesertTrips and Hssaine, I highly recommend for to anyone who is looking for a safe and reliable tour company in Morocco! We owe Hssaine and Desert Trips a huge thank you!!

Morocco is truely a gem. We joined a 10 days tour by DesertTrips We visited places that all Morocco has to offer. it was an amazing tour that we will never forget.
We want to send our excellent to our driver/guide Khalil a big thank you , for making our tour one of the best trips we had in our lives. He is very knowledgeable, humorous and trust worthy. Everything was smooth, we had a very comfortable trip as Khalil had nicely arranged everything for us. He is also very caring and observant. He understood what we wanted and “tailor made” the schedule for us so that we could travel at our own pace. We also enjoyed talking to him very much. He told us a lot about the country- its history, politics, language, lifestyle, Berber/amazigh culture , his life living in the desert....which broadened our horizons! His presence made the atmosphere lively and joyful.
We would also like to thank our wonderful local guide in Marrakech,
Mustapha. He is enthusiastic and is a kind-hearted person. He is also very humorous, which made our tour in Marrakech a very fun.
This was a very pleasant trip to discover Morocco with no glitch or issue thanks to the solid knowledge of our tour driver/guide. Thanks much!!!

Hello, vacation was amazing, the places chosen for our stay were comfortable and immersive. ( except for the last place - we will address it later), Said is a gem of a person had a great sense of humor to handle all of our questions, lot of pride being a Moroccan( Berber), knows a lot about the area and even neighboring countries. He was a pleasure to work with. He remembered all our requests, was flexible ( pit stops when needed), came on time and was mostly cheery. Thanks for the organizing the trip well.

Amazing experience where we got to visit the big modern cities and stayed within the old towns experiencing traditional local yet still very comfortable accommodations, had a wonderful time in the desert, riding the camels, sleeping within a tent - glamping though it would have been better if the weather was warmer, it was just freezing there.
Med was very prompt with answering any queries and our driver/guide, Said was awesome, he was friendly hospitable and very attentive to our needs, going out of and beyond his way to ensure that we were well looked after.
Definitely a reliable tour company! Don’t hesitate to engage them

This trip was more than excellent It was a positive life experience from the moment my husband and I arrived, we were swept away by their attentiveness and genuine passion for their country, our driver/guide Said was so kind and attentive and explained the history of the Berber people of the area Said went out of his way to be sure everyone was having a wonderful time which is very appreciated, the highlight was undoubtedly the Sahara Desert, but each town we visited offered its own unique charm. We stayed in stunning riads within the medinas, where the staff provided exceptional service, and we all miss those breakfasts, but best of all was the warm generous hospitality of the Moroccan people and our guide Said who made this trip extraordinary. We highly recommend Desert Trips for this unforgettable adventure!

The whole trip was arranged perfectly to fit our needs along with their recommendations. We got to see almost all the attractions within Marrakesh and also did a day trip into the Atlas mountains which was an amazing experience, and ended the day with a homemade authentic Moroccan dinner by the team. The whole trip was made much better by the excellent company and guidance of the DesertTrips Team, Khalil, and others, who were all very fond of teaching us about Moroccan history and culture.
I would highly recommend choosing DesertTrips as your tour guide team!

The trip was one of if not the best I have ever taken, and I could not recommend it any more highly. Med & Khalil were very responsive both leading up to and during the trip, and were very flexible with both the activities and lodging that we wanted to do. All of the guides and drivers (shoutout Hassan and Said), not to mention the locals, were very insightful, friendly, and accommodating. Big thanks to the whole crew for making our trip an unforgettable one.
