          Morocco - 11 day tour from Tangier through the mountains & desert to Essouaira
          We planned our itinerary through Hamid, who is very quick to respond to emails and knowledgable. Each aspect of the trip was easy to organise with his expert help and the driver he booked for us, Hicham was fabulous. We felt well cared for and had a fun trip from Tanger to Chefchouen, Fes to Erg Chebbi, through the Atlas to Todra & Dades Valley then Marrakesh and Essaouira. We experienced the coast, the desert, small towns and large cities. Each had their own unique points of interest and this itinerary gave us a great overview of the country The riads booked for us were all great places to stay I would recommend MSDT to anyone wanting a well planned Morocco trip

          Fabulous trip to Morocco with MSDT
          Our trip to Morocco with MSDT was delayed due to Covid but well worth the wait. Three of us spent 13 days in this beautiful diverse country led by our amazing driver/guide Khalid. We spent our nights in Rabat, Chefchouen, Meknes, Fes, Midelt, Mezouga, Dades, Marrakesh and Oualidia and loved the drives from place to place- so much to see in this country! The local guides arranged by Hamid were very knowledgeable and we learned about their country from them. We especially enjoyed staying in the beautiful Riads, riding camels to our overnight stay in the desert, roaming the alleys of the Medinas, eating Berber Pizza and the peaceful sounds of the ocean at Oualidia. Morocco Sahara Desert Tours is a topnotch tour company, easy to work with and we highly recommend them. MSDT listened to what we wanted, and made it so easy to sit back and enjoy. We were well taken care of, and would enthusiastically recommend MSDT to our family and friends!

          Memorizing Day trip to Marrakech with Ali
          This day trip was a wonderful way to spend our visit in Marrakech! Ali, our personal driver was kind, welcoming, informative, and definitely a great driver! When driving through the mountains, he gave us information the entire way, and gave us the freedom to stop at any point and take pictures (he's also a great photographer). Once we reached Kasbah Telouet, we got a chance to get out and walk around. We couldn't enter due to damage caused by an earthquake a month prior, but that didn't stop Ali from giving us rich information on the Kasbah and its history. Before proceeding on our trip, I got a chance to use the restroom, and we bought a small snack (local nuts) before continuing on to Kasbah Ait Ben Hadou, where he left us in good hands with our personal tour guide, Milad. We had great walk up to the top of the Kasbah, learning about its history and fame in the Hollywood film industry. It was quite a hike the whole way through, but he kept us at a pace that was comfortable, yet efficient. We stopped midway to purchase a few things which they held for us until we started our descent. Once reaching the top, he gave us space to take in the view on our own, and take as many pictures as we wanted. Once we let him know we were done, we took our time back down, collecting our purchases on the way. When finally reaching the bottom, he guided us to the restaurant where we had a delicious filling lunch outside. After we finished our meal, Ali picked us up and we began our journey through the mountains back to our hotel. Due to the time we left for the day trip (7am) we avoided much of the traffic that we would have otherwise been caught in on the way back. All in all, I 100% recommend this day trip and Ali as the guide! You won't be disappointed!!

          A must do experience
          What a way to experience so much of Morocco!!! Rather than basing myself out of one city I opted to do the multi day private tour in a brand new air conditioned car to see as many cities as possible. Having a local private driver who spoke fluent English meant quick and insightful stops without the big tour groups. In Fez and Marrakech I used a local guide to walk the old city markets to find all the hidden secrets. Make sure you try as many local foods as possible like Tagine, Fresh juices, couscous, bessara soup, amlou and more. Hamid and his team were super flexible on how to plan and execute the itinerary. My highlights were the incredible blue city of Chefchaouen and camping in the Sahara desert and riding the camels. There is so much culture in Morocco you won’t ever be bored. As a female traveler I always felt safe! So make sure this trip is on your bucket list!

          Exceptional Buggy Tour
          Our Pick up and Drop off driver was extremely formerly and very professional. He taught us a few words and phrases to use during our stay in Marrakech. Aziz and the team were amazing, we had an extra 10 minutes on the buggies too and the Berber tea and snacks were unforgettable! We were taken around places that were new to us and even had an informal guided tour and fabulous pictures. Highly, highly recommend Thanks Aziz

          Morocco Sahara Desert Travel (MSDT) is the BEST
          MSDT agency put together a fantastic tour representing Morocco’s major cities and villages as we passed through the Atlas Mts. and Sahara Desert areas. The specific tours were comprehensive yet modifiable based on our small group’s needs. We were steeped in traditional culture from the riads within the old medinas, the narrow streets filled with colorful Moroccan goods and foods, to the desert camp via camel in the Erg Chebbi Desert. Our tour driver became a friend and trusting cohort enhancing our 11-day van travel to the next level. The agency owner paid close attention to our needs at every stage and was always just a phone call away if needed. MSDT comes highly recommended. ***Be sure to have plenty of smaller dirham available for tipping staff at most public water closets, restaurants, tourist attraction areas, etc. These people depend on your generosity!

          Attentive caring tour operator
          Hamid is very responsive and easy to reach if any issues arise during the trip. We planned the itinerary together, and he pointed the places that are good for only one night, and the ones that are worth staying longer. We planned an 11-day comprehensive trip, going around Morocco, more or less as many tours. He did provide us with a very nice big vehicle for the two of us (A Toyota Land Cruiser) with an English-speaking driver. In the big cities of Fez and Marakesh he provided a licensed knowledgeable guide. The drivers provide some information based on their knowledge and they do know the areas and towns one visits. In some places we met some other of his drivers as they were all going through the same circle. Our driver was very polite, always on time, and was a fairly good driver, but we accepted more information, and a little more talkative driver, as we spent many hours on the road. We stayed in mainly 4-star Hotel/Riads, but that designation is a bit deceiving, as they vary in different locations, and most were pretty good, but lacking some of the standards that we are used to. But overall, Hamid chose good places, as in some areas the options are limited. I suggest looking at the pictures, descriptions and reviews of places before you lock them. Some of the places had some minor maintenance issues, and with some better care, they could have been much better. The intention of the owners was always good, and they were great hosts in every place, trying to please and being very hospitable. So just keep in mind it's a big country, lots of travel, but you will meet wonderful, friendly and smiling locals. Most of the roads were very comfortable, and many newer roads with plenty of new gas stations along the highways with usually food, markets and clean bathrooms on the road. In addition, note that they had cell towers everywhere, even in remote areas, which made staying in touch easy. Overall, it's a fascinating country with hospitable and friendly people. Hamid route really gave us a great overall feel of the country from cities to remote villages on the Atlas Mountains, and even one night in a tent in the Sahara Desert. He is local and he knows the country well, so I will recommend his services over out of the country tour operators.

          Morocco Highlights
          My friend of I did the 9-day highlights of the Morocco tour in early October. It's an excellent tour for visiting many cities and seeing many important sights. The tour was very well organized. Hamid, the tour organizer was responsive and thorough to all my questions as I planned the entire trip via email. Our driver Ibrahim spoke English well and was easy to travel with. The guides in Fez and Marrakech were excellent. Spoke English well and knew the history of each city very well. Our guide, Amal, in Fez, took us to a bakery and mint tea shop where we were offered samples and given fresh tea. That was such a personal touch and a highlight for me. Great trip and highly recommend it.

          Magical Morocco
          What an awesome trip - from the excellent pre trip communication with Hamid including the professional digital links, to our fantastic driver Youssef, and then to the amazing places we visited across our 9-day adventure. We travelled as a group of 6 - which worked perfectly with Youssef always available and willing to help us with anything and everything along the way - always checking in to make sure we were safe!! Highlights were the camel trek from the Sahara camp, Marrakesh and the beautiful Riads we stayed at - but seriously it was all a highlight. Would highly recommend MSDT to anyone planning a trip to Morocco!

          Airport pick up
          Honestly, this company was brilliant. As a lot of people there is the fear of being let down, however I highly recommend to use this company. My flight was delayed and I informed them of this and they were totally fine with it and Hamid was awaiting our arrival. Such a lovely man. Really give this company a big thumbs up👍

          A Wonderful Trip
          We’ve just returned from a wonderful day exploring outside of Marrakesh, seeing the beautiful Agafay Desert and Atlas Mountains. Our guide, Zack, was helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating, organising a guide for our walk up to see the waterfalls in the mountains and making sure we had everything we needed. The camel ride was gentle and, for inexperienced riders, the guides were patient and friendly.

        First off, shout out to Hamid for planning this trip out with me. He laid the itinerary out ahead of time so there were no surprises, and I was blown away by how much you get to do. It has always been a bucket list item to visit the sandy desert, and I can now check it off the list. The stops on the way to the actual Sahara desert were a mix of some of the most picturesque mountain ranges and rock formations, beautiful palm gardens, amazing architectural stops like Ait Ben Haddou, with plenty opportunities to pick up souvenirs and immerse yourself in the Moroccan culture (drivers and tour guides were so friendly and I felt so comfortable asking so many questions). But the main attraction, the Sahara Desert, was everything I wanted for a destination. Camel ride was great, the bivouac was really well done, the food was delicious, and sitting underneath the stars and watching the sunrise were experiences I still talk to everyone about to this day. We even saw the brightest shooting star in the middle of the night! In addition, I met some wonderful people from all over the world on the trip. And even if we didn't speak the same native language, you could tell that they were living the dream much like I was during this whole trip. When I visit Morocco again, I plan on bringing my wife and kids with me. Words don’t do the trip justice. Thanks Hamid!

        We, family of 4, made the Sahara desert trip with the MSDT agency. From the beginning (planning the trip, suggestion) till the end it's was a wonderful experience. Our guide Mohamed and the driver did everything to make this trip as wonderful as possible. We really felt like traveling with the friends. Mohamed is an amazing guy. He made our trip just perfect. From buying water for us or a eiscreme for my son, making a nice music in the car till organizing everything during the trip Mohamed did a great job. During the travel we saw a lot of groups in the buses and we were so happy to book the private travel tour. Highly recommended !

        The tour was definitely worth it, we got very lucky and had a private driver too, which was a pleasant surprise.

        Abdou our driver was brilliant - he was very attentive, and gave us a relaxed experience and stopping off in locations we would want to take pictures and have a break.

        Abdou has a pleasant presence and is a very good, safe and reliable driver which made you feel at ease.

        We would definitely recommend Abdou, he even went as far as calling our Riad and having someone pick us up from the main square, which he didn’t have to do but he did anyway.

        The overall tour was amazing with beautiful landscapes and a camel ride through the sand dessert, and camping in the desert was an unforgettable experience!

        The Riad for the first night was in a wonderful location and we had a really delicious dinner.

        We highly recommend the tour if your in search to explore more of Morroco.
