    This trip was a truly unforgettable journey through Morocco’s stunning landscapes—from dramatic river canyons and ancient kasbahs to the golden dunes of the Sahara. Every day was full of adventure, culture, and natural beauty. A special shoutout to Hassan, our incredible tour guide—his knowledge, passion, and warm sense of humor brought the whole experience to life. He made everyone feel welcome and safe, and his storytelling gave deep insight into Moroccan culture. Thank you, Hassan, for making the trip truly special!

    Mohammed was the best CEO ever. He took care of us, every step of the way. From organising us taxis to making executive decisions about the itinerary in light of weather conditions. He made sure we had the smoothest experience. He even took care of the smallest details, making sure we all sat together at one table rather than seperate. Taking time to talk to us individually. Each day was new accomodation which was staring tiring but exciting at the same time. Everywhere we stayed was amazing and like nothing I’ve done before

    Abdul did an amazing job as a guide. I can not thank him enough. The itinerary contains a lot of travel time, however allows you to see a lot within a short time. I would not have minded another day in the desert. :)

    It was an unforgettable tour and the amount of things we could see and do in only one week was unbelievable. Even though we spent a big part of the time driving, there were enough stops in between and I also got this strange feeling that time was passing more slowly on this trip, simply because we experienced so much. In the car, we could watch the scenery from the windows and people when driving through towns and villages. We could also take naps in the car, all in all it was a relaxing trip despite being full of adventure as well. Karim was a great guide, not least due to his humor and smiling. I also saw that he was good at dealing with different people within our group. He seemed to know almost everyone personally wherever we went, chatting briefly with people on our way. A few negatives though, a tiny part of the overall experience. We stopped 2-3 times shops for traditional handicraft (e.g. pottery) which I disliked as I'm not into shopping and found these stops too commercial. A stop at a place for making argan oil products was also too sales driven for my taste although I thought it was interesting to hear about the production process. Some of the women on the group bought something there, so they probably had a more positive view. There was also one stop at the end of the 4x4 excursion in the desert to listen to local music, which I think nobody particularly enjoyed. If you are going to Morocco for the first time, I would highly recommend this tour.

    Wow! This is so great to read, Gudmundur. It sounds like our CEO, Karim, did a great job looking after your group. Thanks for the feedback about the shipping stops. We'll pass that onto our product team.

    This was the first time I?ve been to Morocco, the trip gave me the opportunity to experience so many parts of the country in such a short period of time. The uniqueness of the locations visited were truly excellent and our local tour guide who made us feel very safe. There is a lot of driving in the trip so be prepared and add some relaxing days either side to get the most out of your experience.

    Discover the beautiful country of Morocco from the hustle and bustle of the streets of marakesh, stargazing on the sand dunes in the desert to the breath taking views in the mountains. Led by an expert tour guide, this is an adventure not to be missed.
