My friend and I travelled to the Sahara with Amar and it has been the best trip I’ve embarked on. After a long drive with beautiful sights and some delicious food stops, we made it to the desert. We got to experience life in the desert and did some activities. The four wheeler riding was my favorite and we got the best photos/videos. Thanks to our guide for capturing breathtaking videos of us riding in the sand. We then rode camels to our sleep site for the night.

I recently traveled to Morocco for second time , now with Moroccan Trips in 2022 and I must say it was an incredible experience.

Morocco has so much to offer, and Select Morocco Tours did everything they could to showcase their country. Communication was excellent with Amar, while we finalized our trip. Ibrahim, our driver was punctual, polite and fun. Also a great driver in some tight spots. Accommodations were first class and guides in Fes, Volubillis and Assilah were knowledgeable, friendly and informative.I chose this company as they always responded quickly to any questions I had...

We came along Morocco with family and we fell in love with fascinating people and landscapes. We have booked one week tour (6 nights stays) from Marrakech to Fez back and forth and we felt greatly from day one to end of the tour. A particular mention for our private driver and guide, amazing guy Mustapha who drove tirelessly and always willing to explain patiently along the way. Our sleeping night in tends was also very nice thank to the whole team of professionals and particularly to Youssef for looking after us.
