    It was FANTASTIC!!! 5 Stars are way to less, Ali deserves 50000 Stars! Ali is a wonderful Guide, reliable, on time, safe driver, interesting explanations and very nice private conversations. He assisted soooo nice with fotos and it was a lot of fun to travel with him. All accomodations were very good, we sleeped very well, had great service and lots of delicious moroccan food. The long time drives felt short thanks to his music which let you dream during driving through stunning landscapes. We went there during Ramadan, which was no problem. Ali brought us to lunch when we wished. He organized us a beautiful last accomodation which was brand new and with a great view. Ali let us feel welcome every second during the whole trip. He showed us his beautiful country and culture. It was a honor to meet his family and cook with them. He made of the planned tour a private tour fitting perfectly to our interests. We enjoyed every second and can recommend the tour and Ali from heart 100000000%

    Amazing experience from beginning to end and would highly recommend Ali for your trip to Morocco! He knows so much about the history and culture of the country and people and you will learn and experience so much! All of the hotels that he booked were great and you can trust that you are in good hands. In June it will be hot so be prepared when going on tours during the day but it cools off at night. This tour was definitely the highlight of the trip and when we return to Morocco we will make sure to contact them again. Thank you so much Ali for your flexibility and kindness during the trip!

    The tour was great and Ali is an amazing guide. He had very intimate knowledge of all of Morocco and was able to get us some exclusive tours, great hotels, and delicious food. The days in the desert were definitely the highlight of the trip with the camel rides and off roading. I definitely recommend this tour and especially Ali if he is available. He was very accommodating and fun person to guide you through Morocco.

    This tour was exceptional! Ali from Morocco Joy Travel did a great job of communicating with me in advance to help answer some questions I had about the location in Erg Chebbi, as I wanted to be sure that I could very easily be on the dunes for both sunset and sunrise on the two nights out there so that I could take photos. Ali also checked in with me throughout the tour to ensure things were going well. The tour ultimately ended up being a private tour, since I was a solo traveller who paid the single supplement and there were no other travelers booked for my date. Said was a wonderful guide-driver. We saw some amazing scenery throughout the tour, and Said gave great insights into life in Morocco and particularly Berber culture, since his family is from a Berber village in the desert. The accommodation en route was really wonderful, and Said was helpful in suggesting the best menu options at a number of the lunch locations. If traveling during hotter months, I recommend booking the upgrade to the luxury camp with air conditioning. I did not do this in advance, but when we saw what the temps would be, Ali proactively confirmed that the luxury camp had an available tent and offered me the opportunity to book it for a reasonable upgrade fee. I highly recommend this tour in particular, and look forward to booking another tour with Morocco Joy Travel when I get another opportunity to visit Morocco!

    Morocco Joy Travel has created an extremely unique experience among guided tours of Morocco. The tour operator and creator of Morocco Joy Travel, Ali, offered a personalized and highly customizable tour of the desert that was both adventurous and informative. We ended up doing a lot of off-roading in areas that few tourists see and making a BBQ in the desert. At the same time, I learned a lot about the history of Morocco, its Berber tribes, the customs and life style of the country and its future aspirations. This trip was worth every penny, I will be contacting Ali the next time I am in Morocco to organize another personal tour.
