Hassan El Amrani
Hello, I'm Hassan El Amrani, a native of Merzouga, a small village nestled beside the breathtaking Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Born to nomadic parents who settled in Merzouga to ensure their children's education, I went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Language and Literature. Today, I'm proud to be the founder of Under Moroccan Sun LLC, a reputable tour company specializing in Moroccan travel experiences.
With a passion for sharing the authentic beauty of Morocco, our team crafts personalized tours that cater to each guest's unique interests and curiosity. From the majestic Sahara Desert to the vibrant imperial cities of Marrakesh and Fez, and everything in between, we invite you to discover the genuine essence of this captivating kingdom.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"We cover all of Morocco, from the Sahara desert to the High Atlas Mountains to the Imperial cities of Marrakesh and Fez, and everything in between, we have 13 years of experience with 5 consecutive years of consistently excellent rating from travelers through TripAdvisor platform."
How did you get involved in travel?
"Growing up in the Sahara desert, I often encountered lost people, be they from Morocco or afar (note: there are no road signs out there, so it was easy to lose your bearings!). That, or their vehicles would get stuck in the sand on the their way to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes and I’d have to come to their rescue. After a while, I decided to tackle the root of the problem, and thus started to offer guiding in the desert for a few Dirhams in return; this way fewer people would find themselves in one of the aforementioned pickles, and I could not only start to make a living, but could also meet a variety of people from all over the world - something that I think is crucial when you are young. My passion for travel and guiding grew from then, and I get more and more satisfaction from introducing people to my beautiful homeland. One thing’s for sure: I would not choose any other location or profession."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Back in 2010, three months prior to their trip, 5 Irish travelers insisted on knowing if it would be safe to cross the 7000-ft-high Atlas Mountains. I thought their impassioned query was a bit bizarre, but, sure enough, on the day of their trip, there were heavy rains and thick fog, two conditions that I experience occasionally, but never at quite the same intensity. It was as if the people could sense something was going to happen! We made it cautiously and safely."

Morocco is a beautiful country with amazing people. The trip was very memorable for us. It was a short and sweet trip. Hassan organized out trip well and was very accommodating to our request. Younes our driver and guide was very helpful and made us feel at home and kept looking out for our needs. Will def give him 5 star rating.

This trip beat our expectations by a mile. Hassan was very good with listening to the experiences we asked for before the trip and delivered. We were also able to add things to our itinerary during the trip seamlessly. Our driver and car organized by Hassan was clean, always on time and comfortable. Our guided walks/tours in both Fez and Marrakech were so informative and fun. We saw so much in a week, without feeling like it was rushed. I would recommend Hassan again 100%.

Kamel was our driver and he did a really incredible job. We encountered a very heavy rain storm en route to the Sahara Desert and had to find an alternative route to get to our desert camp. The drive ended up taking us 14 hours, but we made it safe and sound and Kamel was incredible along the way!
Hassan and Kamel were very flexible and helpful when it came to adjusting our itinerary. Hassan also was extremely responsive whenever we reached out with any questions
