Reviews & Testimonials

Words from our Clients!

Rachel Summers
Australia
Our 4-day Erg Chegaga tour with Said was unforgettable! From the moment we met him in Marrakech, he made us feel comfortable and welcomed. Said’s knowledge of Morocco’s history, culture, and hidden gems was incredible. He ensured we had plenty of photo stops, delicious meals, and authentic experiences with locals. The desert camps were well-organized, and riding camels across the Chegaga dunes at sunset was magical. Said’s kindness and professionalism made the trip extra special. We never felt rushed, and he always went above and beyond to personalize the journey. Highly recommend him for anyone traveling to Morocco!

Karim was the best guide we could have asked for on our 4-day desert tour to Mhamid and Erg Chegaga. His driving was safe and smooth, even on the off-road tracks. Karim shared fascinating stories about Berber traditions and always made sure we were comfortable. He surprised us with fresh fruit, music, and laughter throughout the journey. Spending a night under the stars in Chegaga with him guiding us was truly magical. His attention to detail and warm personality made us feel like family, not just clients. We’ll never forget this experience thank you, Karim, for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
