Reviews & Testimonials

Words from our Clients!

Leonardo Massia

Our 2-day trip from Ouarzazate to Zagora with Omar was unforgettable! He was warm, funny, and so knowledgeable about every stop along the Draa Valley. Omar made sure we had plenty of time for photos and explained the history of the kasbahs and Berber villages. The camel ride into the desert at sunset was magical, and the camp was cozy and comfortable. Omar’s driving was safe, and he always made us feel at ease. We felt like we were traveling with a friend rather than just a guide. Highly recommend booking with Omar if you want to experience the desert in the best way possible!

We had an amazing 2-day desert tour from Ouarzazate with Mustapha. From the moment he picked us up, he was professional, friendly, and attentive to our needs. He shared fascinating stories about the Draa Valley and stopped at hidden viewpoints we never would have found on our own. In Zagora, he arranged everything perfectly from the camel ride to the campfire dinner under the stars. Mustapha also made sure we were comfortable the whole journey, offering breaks and answering all our questions about Moroccan culture. Thanks to him, this short trip became one of the highlights of our time in Morocco!
