I’ll be back again and I can’t wait! This was the most fabulous time of my summer. Our guide crafted an amazing 5 day journey through Morocco and built in opportunities for us to explore art, artisan wear, and history. We felt so safe and built a great report with Ahmed. I cannot wait to visit again.

Excellent 4 days from Marrakech to Fes!! I am a 24 year old female who traveled alone to Morocco for the first time. My brother in law recommended me to book with Begaa Tours for my 4-day Sahara trip starting from Marrakech to Fes. The tour was an excellent experience in great and safe hands. I had so many stops for pictures, and Ahmed took me to the best places for that. I really enjoyed my adventure with the team, and I really recommend this experience to everyone coming to discover the authentic and real Morocco! Thanks, Ahmed and Begaa Tours!

Private 3 day tour from Marrakech to Fes My family of four took the 3-day Marrakech to Fez desert tour. Hassan was our driver and guide. He picked us up on time at our hotel in a clean, modern car. Hassan knew a lot about every place we visited and shared stories about his country. He made the drive enjoyable. The days are pretty long, with 7 hours in the car the first day, four the second day, and 7.30 on the last day. It helped to have someone experienced behind the wheel who made us feel safe. Each stop along the way was interesting and gave us a chance to stretch and explore. We chose the luxury desert package. The camp was beautiful and the team made everything feel extra special. The whole trip left a lasting impression. If you are thinking about booking this tour, you will not regret it.

Great 4 days from Fes with Begaa We had a great trip through the Sahara with Begaa Tours. My husband and I booked a four-day, three-night tour of the Sahara and Atlas Mountains, and Ahmed was our guide. From the start, he was friendly, funny, and spoke perfect English. We felt comfortable right away and looked forward to the days ahead. Each day was different and interesting. Ahmed gave us a lot of choices and shared stories about the places we visited. He told us about the local history and culture, which made everything more special. Our time in the desert was a highlight. Ahmed always managed our schedule so we missed the crowds, which made our trip calm and relaxed. Everything went smoothly from start to finish. We laughed a lot and felt well taken care of. We are so grateful and highly recommend Moroccan Tours. If you're thinking of seeing Morocco, ask for Ahmed as your guide.

Morocco at its best! "From the moment we started planning our trip to Morocco, Ahmed demonstrated exceptional hospitality and impressive attention to detail. The city tour was a perfect introduction to the rich local culture, while our four-day adventure through the desert exceeded all imaginable expectations! The combination of breathtaking landscapes, authentic experiences, and Ahmed's deep knowledge of Moroccan history and culture transformed our trip into unforgettable memories. The carefully selected accommodations, local cuisine, and magical desert sunsets were simply spectacular.

Holiday of a lifetime Ahmed came highly recommended and did not disappoint. In fact, he exceeded our expectations with his good communication, professionalism and desire to make the holiday everything we wanted it to be. For example, Ahmed tailored the itinerary to include a visit to his village and several markets because we wanted to meet locals. We were looked after from the moment we arrived at the airport until we departed. He drove us between destinations, sharing history and interesting facts along the way and organised great local guides for the larger cities and monuments. Equally important for us was Ahmed’s warm personality. We would highly recommend Begaa to anyone considering a Moroccan holiday.

The best way to experience Morocco Morocco is a beautiful country to visit with incredible natural beauty, amazing old cities (Medina), the nicest people and vibrant culture. A truly land of contrasts. My mom and I stayed for ten days. Seven of those ten days were planned through Begaa Tours. We made a round trip in the country that started and ended in Marrakech. We visit Casablanca, Rabat, Chefchaouen, Fes, Meknes, Midelt, Tinghir, Merzouga, Ouarzazate and several other small villages and towns in between. I can not stress enough how amazing Begaa Tours was in showing us this wonderful country. Ahmed, our driver/guide, was terrific. He really knew his history and the fun facts of all the regions we've been through. He was a safe driver and super flexible about what my mom and I were interested in and what we didn't want to see. Begaa Tours is open to tailoring the best experience for you; I enjoyed all the Riads, Hotels, and Experiences they provided. Morocco wouldn't be that amazing without Begaa Tours. Thanks, guys!

Great days at Marrakesh Marrakesh, Ouzoud and Ksar de ait Ben Hadu where the places we visited. The trip could have been good for the places being beautiful and charming but thanks to our guide Ahmed the experience couldn't be better. Not only we where explained in full detail the places and its history but also we have a really good time chatting about all kind of different topics. 10/10.

Super Eindruck von Marokko 🇲🇦 Wir sind für 7 Tage nach Marokko gekommen. Wir wurden pünktlich am Flughafen von Ahmed abgeholt. Der Stadtführer lief 3 Std mit uns durch Marrakesch. Sehr beeindruckend. Am nächsten Tag gings ans Meer. Der Ausritt am Meer war fantastisch, tolle Berberpferde. Abends nach Sunset gings zurück. Leckres Fischrestaurant und es gab sogar ein Fläschen Wein! Dann gings durchs Atlasgebirge in die Wüste. Immer wieder wurde angehalten um zu schauen und fotografieren. Das Essen unterwegs war lecker. Ahmed ging auf unsere Wünsche ein. Die Wüste mit Kamelritt und Vollmond war herrlich, aber im Januar nachts sehr kühl! Keine Sommerkleidchen sonder lange Unterhosen, Wollmütze und dicke Socken mitnehmen. Meine Freundin hatte vorsorglich einige Mittel gegen Durchfall dabei die aber überhaupt nicht gebraucht wurden. Ahmed hat uns stets sehr freundlich alles erklärt. Jede noch so außergewöhnliche Frage (weisse Tücher) wurde geduldig beantwortet, wenn verstehen auch manchmal länger gedauert hat (Ach sooooo)! Das Essen bei seiner Schwägerin Sara war unglaublich lecker, die Gastfreundschaft und Freundlichkeit der ganzen Familie sehr angenehm. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir 4 Frauen haben uns sehr sicher gefühlt und hatten überhaupt keine unangenehmen Erlebnisse! Die Abholung morgens um 4.00 Uhr zum Flughafen klappte problemlos und die 2,5Std Zeit für Check in wurden benötigt. Ich würde die Reise jederzeit wieder machen so viel gelacht haben wir schon lange nicht mehr!😉👍🏻😁
