Experience of a Lifetime!
Wow! What an incredible 12-day Morocco tour spin through the most amazing country with such wonderful people!
For those looking for a quick confirmation that this company is professional, reliable, and safe…here it is. This company will help you plan & customize a wonderful Morocco travel to suit your needs. I highly recommend them as I just finished a 12-day grand tour through the entire country with them. I had the pleasure of getting to know my guide, Ahmed. All wonderful hosts, very knowledgeable drivers, hospitable and kind. I saw everything I wanted to see and more. I couldn’t have asked for a more personal and wonderful experience. Leaving Morocco was hard as I felt I was leaving my family. You must use Begaa Tours for your Morocco travels. I can promise you will have the time of your life!
For those looking for a more detailed review here it is.. I planned this private Morocco trip with two other girlfriends fairly quickly. We booked everything about three months prior to the departure date and coordinated everything via email with Hassan. We tailored the itinerary to meet our bucket list items. Put in the minimal deposit and waited for the day to come when we made the long journey to Morocco travel.
From the moment we were picked up by Ahmed I knew we were in good hands. Our tour took us from Casablanca to Rabat to Tangier to Chefchaouen to Fez and the Coastal tourist town of Essaouira. In Fez, we had a wonderful local guide who weaved us through the narrow alleys, showed us the shops we wanted to see, suggested wonderful food for lunch, and gave us a real insider look at Fez.
From Fez, we went into the Sahara to see the many landscapes of the desert. We saw the middle and high Atlas Mountains, the biggest cedar forest in North Africa. We went into Ziz Valley, Merzouga dunes. And finally, we made it to Merzouga dunes where we rode camels into the sunset and spent the night at a Berber camp in the sand dunes.
From there we went onto Dades Valley, Kasbah Amredhil, Ourzazzate, and finally the highlight of the trip for me… Marrakech dream
Every leg of this journey was better than the last. This private 12-day private Morocco trip just kept getting better and better. As three single female travelers, we always felt taken care of and looked out for. The Riads and Hotels we stayed at were all clean, safe, and beautiful. The food that was included in the tour was delicious and traditional. You have enough freedom on the tour during the evenings and some afternoons to do as you please. Any request you make, they will do their very best to accommodate you in their beautiful country
Highlights for me… camels in the Sahara and sleeping on the sand dunes…. goats in Argan trees…Fez and Marrakech local day tours… , Chefchaouen – Meknes.
For sure Ahmed and Hassan added a special something to this trip. They were such a pleasure to spend 12 12-day desert tour from Casablanca with. If you can, request to work with him.
Thank you Begaa Tours, Cultural Morocco tours! Thank you, Ahmed! We miss you and hope to return to Morocco soon! Our second beautiful country.

Amazing 12-day of Morocco tours, unforgettable experience
My wife and I booked a tour of Morocco with Begaa Tours this April for 12 days desert tour from Casablanca based on the recommendation of a friend. What an incredible vacation!!! I would highly recommend Begaa Tours for anyone wanting to have an experience you will never forget. Our trip started in Casablanca where we were met by Ali who patiently waited an hour for our late arrival time and accompanied us to Rabat, the beautiful blue village of Chefchaouen a beautiful Northern Morocco town, Meknes, and 8th century Fes where we were met by Ahmed, our guide for the remainder of our trip. Some of the highlights of our trip include a camel ride and sunset in the desert, off-roading to Ahmed’s home village (Begaa), a small village of 50 homes and 450 people. Ahmed and the many people we met throughout our journey provided us with a glimpse of the generosity and spirit of the Moroccan people. Ahmed was more than just our guide. He soon became our friend due to his wonderful and friendly personality. This was also extended to the many people we met along our travels which added to our wonderful experience. Morocco is an amazing Country.
