If you want to take a carefree trip this is the right choice! Thank you Mubarak.
Vito D2024-08-18🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦 Thanks to Mubarak for giving us the opportunity to live a unique experience. The whole tour was organized in detail. We were guided by Salah and Ali who showed us the true Berber culture making us fully experience Morocco. We will definitely return to Morocco to visit the cities we have not yet visited and we will definitely do it with them.
SimonaP2024-08-14Yalla Yalla Morocco was on the To Do Trips list...sinking your feet in the golden dunes of the desert was a long-awaited wish. Granted for my 50th birthday! Colors, scents, spices, smiles, culture, all this was possible thanks to Mbark Bakabou of Magic Sahara Tours who organized the trip very well. Wonderful riad in Marrakech, the exceptional desert camp. Great food especially with the tasting of Berber pizza in one of our stops where our Ali and Salah took us. We visited Marrakech with an exceptional and highly trained Guide, our friend Abdou Guide Maroc Moukouch Our tour included: - Marrakech - Valle del Dades - Todra Gorge - Merzouga Desert - Draa Valley - Ourzazate This was a taste....but we will come back to visit the rest of the country! Yalla Yalla!
Federica G2024-06-23Authentic Morocco We organized a tour of Morocco relying on Mubarak after reading numerous positive reviews. We started our 7-day journey from Fes, passing through Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes, desert, Ourzazate and Marrakech accompanied by the SUPER Yidir, with whom we created a sincere bond, which every day guided us through this fantastic country with a comfortable off-road vehicle. Everything was organized to perfection, Italian speaking guides in Fes, Volubilis and Marrakech, cozy facilities, Riad from a thousand to one nights, clean and with great food! Se volete fare un viaggio senza pensieri questa è la scelta giusta!
JasonGar2024-06-18Amazing Desert Tour Our family of 4 had the pleasure of using Magic Sahara Tours for our desert tour this summer. As I'm now in my 50's, I like to travel in a little more comfort than I did in my college years, and Magic Sahara did not disappoint! I will also add that I compared several companies in the luxury category, and I felt their price was very competitive in relation to the accommodations and services offered. After initially reviewing their tour options online, I contacted Mohammed via the website. His response was prompt and he was very helpful customizing a trip for our needs. Our tour would go from Marrakech to Fes. So as not to be rushed, we opted for a 4N/5D. This gave us two nights in the desert, 1 at a luxury tent camp and 1 at a very nice resort. Our fantastic driver/guide Mubarak picked us up promptly at our hotel in Marrakech. The van was well maintained, comfortable and his driving was careful and courteous. Mubarak was very pleasant and thorough in answering our many questions about the area and its peoples. We really enjoyed our time with him. One of the many highlights of our trip was eating lunch at his families home where we met his lovely mother, a brother, sister in law and some nieces and nephews. The hospitality they showed us will not soon be forgotten! Rather than go on and on about our incredible trip, I will just say that if you are looking to do a desert tour (or probably ANY tour in Morocco because they do more than just the desert) I would recommend them wholeheartedly. Thank you Mohammed and Mubarak for an incredible experience! Our family had a fantastic time!
Rosalba D2024-06-02An amazing journey 🇲🇦 A surprising journey to discover Morocco. Thanks to Mubarak's organization and advice we organized a 5-day tour from Marrakech to Fes, passing through Casablanca, Rabat, Volubilis and Meckness, Chefchaouen. The organization was impeccable, Mubarak proved to be a helpful, kind and precise person. During the excursions to Marrakech and Fes, we were organized a tour with very knowledgeable guides who spoke in Italian. This allowed us to appreciate and get to know this country even more. Super positive experience, we will definitely return to visit the desert and southern Morocco. Inshallah always and anyway.
Federica D2024-05-27My Africa 🌍🇲🇦 Imagine a place where the sky does not overlook you, but crosses you, where you cannot breathe the air, but savor it, where time passes and does not run as we are used to. A place where people greet you, even if they don't know you, and where the nervous system settles down and doesn't get nervous. Where everything is true, even the less beautiful things, because here everything is life. This is what Morocco was for me. The organization was impeccable, Mubarak was available from the first telephone contact, he tried to support and satisfy our every need. We appreciated his kindness, friendliness, precision and attention so that everything was perfect and we were happy (the fresh water before each trip, the break with the oranges peeled by him) because his motto is 'If you're happy, I 'I'm happy too'. We had the opportunity to do a 5-day tour of the imperial cities from Marrakech, passing through Casablanca, Rabat, Meckness and Volubilis, finishing our tour in Fes. Mubarak relied on two guides who spoke Italian (Abdul and Yusef) who were super smart, friendly and helpful. They told us about the beauty, culture and history of this magnificent land. Having had a guide in Marrakech and Fes allowed us to skip several queues at the main monuments and to visit a ceramics cooperative in Fes. The feeling you get after this trip is what many call 'The sickness of Africa', it is that nostalgia that remains with you after visiting Africa and you feel nothing but the desire to return. Inshallah 🧿
Carmen P2024-05-21A magical experience The Morocco experience turned out to be a real surprise! We trusted and relied on our driver Ally who pampered us and guided us around the Moroccan cities truly thinking of everything! Hotels and riads selected and chosen by them proved to live up to our expectations! The desert experience was nothing short of magical. Thanks to Ally we did not feel the weight and tiredness of the distances traveled during these 6 days in which we visited six different cities. We were able to experience this trip without thinking about anything other than having fun and enjoying the Moroccan beauties! The proposed tour is absolutely recommended, not very touristy and very fascinating!
Manuela M2024-05-11Morocco in the heart Morocco will have a special place in our heart thanks to Lhoucine, our driver. We chose the 4-day tour proposed by Magic Sahara tours to discover the south of Morocco. We crossed the High Atlas, passing through Berber villages, the Dades Gorges, the Rose Valley and enjoyed beautiful landscapes and sunsets. The facilities that hosted us were above expectations, very beautiful and with attention to every detail. The Merzouga desert experience deserves a special mention. We were welcomed by Youssef and his friends as if we were at home, in a very intimate place, and we discovered a starry sky never seen before, sang and talked around the fire. The people who live in the desert and in the villages that surround it are fantastic and friendly people, who want to tell their stories and convey the best of their culture. There have certainly been tourist stops, in any case very beautiful, but the added value of staying with a local guide is that of being able to also enjoy authentic places, untouched by mass tourism (such as Rissani and its market) and being able to get to know the local people. What about our driver, Lhoucine is a nice, cheerful and professional person, attentive to our needs. We thank Magic Sahara tours and highly recommend it to discover Morocco. Yallah Yallah see you next trip!
Grazia R2024-05-06Deeply in love with the desert 4 day tours from Marrakesh to Merzouga passing through Berber villages, the ancient Kasbah of Ait Benhaddou, crossing the Dudes Valley and the Todra Gorges to then arrive at Merzeuga in the desert, what can I say... everything perfect!! Moubarak was our guardian angel throughout the trip, telling us about Moroccan culture, answering all our curiosities, a truly special person. The hotels are all beautiful and clean. The special desert camp! It was an amazing 4 days that will remain in my heart forever Thanks Moubarak!! Thanks Desert
