We completed a 3 night-4 day excursion from Marrakech to Fez. I cannot explain what a wonderful time we had. My wife and I took our 17 year old son for graduation. He had the most amazing time. From the second Mohamed picked us up early the first day, his warm smile and easy demeanor made us feel safe and comfortable. The sights and sounds along the journey were incredible, and we will never forget it. He took the time to explain the culture in detail and helped us negotiate purchases in the markets, which can be a bit confounding without assistance. When we arrive at the great dunes in Erg Chebbi, he helped us rent quads with a local company to reach the height of the dunes. We got to sit in a Berber tent with bedouins and tour the empty mines. Do not look for another guide or another company. This is the guy.

Mohamed was very prompt in all his replies to me prior to my trip. During the trip, he was responsible and very punctual and even went the extra mile when we experienced a delayed luggage that did not arrive in Barcelona belonging to my daughter.. As we were constantly on the road even when the luggage was delivered to Marrakech airport, by then we were too far away from this airport after travelling on the road for a few days. He was constantly checking with the airport authorities and finally arranged for the luggage to be delivered to Fez airport. He had to make a detour to drive us to the airport only on the 5th day of our tour. He was extremely patient and helpful trying to alleviate our distress and helped to look for a shop to buy some clothings for my daughter. Even after our return, he messgaed us to check that all is well and that we have arrived home safely, I would recommend anyone who is keen to engage a local guide in Morocco. After this experience, i highly recommend to engage a local guide rather than attempting to drive on your own due to the vastness of this country and a lot of time is spent literally on the road.

My favorite experience was arriving to Essaouira . This town offers everything from hammans to dune buggy rides on the beach, wind surfing , camel rides on The beach, the local restaurants are fabulous and also offer libations as well
The Medina is an experience in itself! With soon many souvenirs easy to negotiate, the vendor are very gracious and eager to sell at a bargain rate.
The resreraunts are plentiful and with many selections for travelers with a wide palate for different cuisines.
Mohamed with magic desert tours was on top of everything! He knew what,when and where for every question or idea I had plus some! You can not go wrong using this tour service. I will use him again when I return for my desert camp tour next summer.

The trip was absolutely amazing! Mohammed (Simu) was an awesome tour guide. He made the entire trip so entertaining, as he was extremely funny and was able to point out different landmarks and talk about why they were important and provide stories and insight into Moroccan and Berber culture and language. I'm happy to say that my friends and I found a great friend in Simu. He made sure we were always comfortable, as he'd stopped for restrooms or snacks whenever requested, and always made sure everyone was happy. Further, Simu and the tour took us to see so many amazing sights, from staying the night in the Sahara desert, to seeing Ifran, to the Dades Gorge and the Toudra Gorge, to Ait Ben Haddou, to Ourzazate, to many many Panoramic Overviews. Our crew did the 3 day tour from Fes to Merzouga to Marrakesh, and I 100% recommend it. The trip was absolutely amazing, with great food, company, and amenities (the car even had Wi-Fi!). Our only regret was not doing a longer tour. The luxury camp in the Sahara was beautiful, the meals were very memorable, and the hotel in the Dades Gorge was an absolute dream. Thank you so much Simu! We miss you!! :)

What a fantastic tour guide ! Such an accommodating person. I felt very Comfortable and safe with Mohamed. One of the most informative friendly , kindly and genuine personalities you will come across on this planet. Ouarzazate is amazing with the history of the Amazigh (bereber) culture . The tajine meals will be in my memory forever. The desert skies was like a dream not even real! I will go back for some more tours with Mohamed next summer. I highly recommend this great company with Mohamed as your guide if you can . Im sure the other guides are just as great but I cant thank him enough for the best tour ever.

We went on a private three day camel tour from Marrakesh to Erg Chebbi with Mohamed. The tour was myself, my cousin, and my Dad (71years old). We had such a great time. lost of time spent in the car but the drive was very scenic and we broke it up with many stops with sights to see and stretch your legs. Mohamed himself was the biggest reason this trip was successful. He was so knowledgeable on everything. We had many questions on sights we saw along the way and he was there to answer any questions. We learned to much about Morocco. We had some special requests from the very beginning that were not part of the normal tour. We didn't think they were going to happen but Mohamed had a few tricks up his sleeve and was able to pull it off!!! I cant thank him enough. Ask for Mohamed, you wont be disappointed

I contacted Mohamed prior to arriving in Morocco. He gave us valuable tips on places to visit and stay. We started in Marrakesh with Mohamed and ended in Tangier after visiting Todra Gorge, Sahara, Ifran, Fes, Chefchaouen and some scenic spots along the way. Mohamed had a comfortable SUV, is friendly and excellent driver with a good command of English. The accommodations that Mohamed had arranged were top notch - we opted for the Riads in some locations to savor the Moroccan traditions and what an experience it turned out to be. The desert camp that he put us up at was beyond our expectations. Mohamed went out of his way to ensure that we were safe and had an enjoyable time. I would highly recommend his company to anyone looking for a fun filled adventure in Morocco!

What an incredible journey! From initial contact with Mohamed, who was consistently responsive, to the well-organized private tour led by the amazing guide, Hamid. His attentive care, adaptability to our group dynamics, and insightful information about Morocco made this the best tour ever. A definite must-do for the exceptional experience and attention to detail.

Mohamed was waiting for me when I arrived , arranged my hotel and made sure I did not have any language problems. His advise and guidance in Marrakech was spot on! I felt very comfortable and safe. His driving and directions of Marrakech is fabulous. Places to visit from the shopping areas and museums to finding a cooking class for me. There wasn't any thing that I asked for that he did not fulfill. You will not be disappointed with Magic Desert Tours. I will use his services for future tours and will be posting accordingly.

After extensive searching we settled on Magic Desert Tours and boy were we happy we did. Communication was excellent even though we were coming from Australia, different time zone. The car provided was comfortable and our driver Mohammed was very knowledgeable and professional. He took us to all the main attractions and some unexpected spots also. We did a 6 day tour out to the desert which gave us time and the space to not be driving 8 hours per day. Doing a private tour gave us the option to spend more time in some locations and less in others. Would highly recommended and hope to be back again one day.
