Morocco is truly a magical place. The magic we experienced was carefully and thoughtfully planned by Majid and perfectly delivered by our driver/spirit guide/new family member Mouad. From the initial itinerary planning through the all-too-soon drop off at the airport to return home, our every request and interest was catered to. We cannot thank Majid and Mouad enough for sharing their country, culture, history, homes, and most of all themselves with us.
Majid crafted a perfectly tailored experience based on our requests. He did this quickly, affordably, and with great communication. He included every highlight we dreamed our Moroccan trip could include: the narrow ancient streets of the Medina in Fes, the other worldly dunes of the Sahara on camel back, the awe inspiring mosque in Casablanca, the frenetic square in Marrakech, and so much more. The best highlight though was our private driver Mouad. Not only did he work incredibly hard as our driver (getting us to our destinations safely, comfortably, and calmly), but he truly went above and beyond making stops along the way to share hidden gems, teaching us about life in Morocco, looking out for our safety and comfort, and even inviting us to his family home in the desert. He anticipated our needs (snacks!) and comfort making adjustments on the fly. For example, he anticipated that we would be too cold in our luxury desert tent (January nights get very cold in the desert) and was able to secure us accommodations in a sister luxury hotel for the evening. Speaking of which, the Sahara is an absolute must part of a trip to Morocco and we recommend giving yourself a few days in the area to experience as much as you can.
We would absolutely go back to Morocco, and if that opportunity arises, we will absolutely be calling Majid and Mouad again.

Hi Michael,
Thank you so much for your kind words and heartfelt review! We’re thrilled to hear that your experience in Morocco was magical and that me and Mouad could make your journey unforgettable. From the bustling streets of the medinas to the serene dunes of the Sahara, it sounds like every moment was filled with wonder and discovery. Mouad will be especially touched by your mention of his efforts and hospitality. We look forward to welcoming you back to explore even more of Morocco’s beauty and charm in the future!
Best,
Majid
