We did a 6-day tour in Morocco (Mt Toubkal and Sahara Desert). It was such a cool experience summiting the highest mountain in the Atlas Mountains one day then camel riding in the Sahara another day. Unforgettable. To top it off, our tour guide, Lahcen, was fantastic! He was personable and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky enough to have Lahcen as your guide, you’ll be guaranteed a fun and memorable trip!

Our group had an amazing trip with Lahcen as our guide. He took such great care of us and he was so friendly and easy to communicate with. The tour was planned and designed well for enjoyment, cultural interest, exercise, good food, and rest. Everything was handled professionally. Summiting Toubkal was a highlight and our time in the Sahara desert was magical. Thank you!

Guides were great for specially Lahcin who was with us both on Mt Toubkal and on our trip to the desert. He was conscientious about our time and safety yet patient as we explored. Our other guide on the mountain Muhammad was also patient and helpful. Both did a great job. The hike up Toubkal was tough but the summit experience was incredible. The drive to the Sahara was long but seeing and spending a night in the desert was worth it. Great trip.

I must say thank you to all the people I met, specially Lhouceine for making this feat not rocket scienze! Despite the struggle, with him all seemed so easy and enjoyable. The place was mindblowing and I'll never forget the colors, the parfumes and the smiles of Morocco! Extraordinary experience, extraordinary fellow travelers! Thank you!
