What Our Clients Says?
Our travelers are at the heart of everything we do. See what our happy clients have to say about their experience with Saharan Tours!
We had an amazing experience with Saharan Tours company and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Morocco. Our itinerary was perfectly balanced. Allowing us to explore Morocco's rich culture, stunning landscapes, and vibrant cities. Highlights included wandering the colorful streets of chefchaouin, exploring the history of medinas of Fes and Marrakech. And enjoying the magical night under the stars in the Sahara desert.
Our driver/ guide Said was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing Morocco's history and traditions. The accommodations were comfortable and authentic. And the transportation was smooth and reliable.What I liked the most were the 2 nights I spent in the Sahara Desert, it's a completely different world, we had a full day in the desert and also had the chance to experience ATVs riding.
If you're looking for a well organized memorable Moroccan adventure. Saharan Tours is an excellent choice. 5/5 Stars exceptional service and authentic experience.
We had wonderful trip to Morocco. Thanks to Said and Ibrahim with Saharan Tours.
Said accommodate all our requests and built a great itinerary for us. Including Riads, hotels, desert camp for our stay. Our transportation from destination to destination, and guided tours in each place.
Ibrahim drove us everywhere during 10 day trip, tirelessly helping us with everything. We are ever so grateful to him for his help. Especially because he had to be away from his family during the month of Ramadan.
The guides that company had for us were great (Fes and Marrakech medinas) Many many thanks and we recommend Saharan Tours to everyone thinking of a trip to Morocco.
My friend and I chose a private driver for 2 day/ 1 night in the Sahara desert from Marrakech. Our driver, Said, was so great. He was very knowledgeable, professional and kind.
This was during Ramadan so our trip may have been different otherwise. Not that we'd know as it was our first time in Morocco. Somethings were closed for Ramadan but I think also it was nice because there were less people around. We still got to see all sites and eat at great food stops. Said, our driver even bought us a box of dates from a village he went to school in. Very thoughtful. We felt safe with him and the car was clean and comfortable.
And yes. The drive was long ( took us 10 hrs each way) but you see so many things and make a few stops ( whatever you want!). It was easy and beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone. Once at the tent, if you don't take the camels to the spot then you get to take the 4×4 car and ride over the dunes. That is what we did and it was so fun. The camp was so cool and the views are what it's all about.
Personally. The one night tour was ideal ( and we were short on time ). This was the perfect trip with a trustworthy company. Thanks Said!!!!!
Our long overdue holiday to Morocco was amazing. From the first contact with Said to a 10 day trip with Youssef.
All communication/ Emails to Said were replied to quickly and I understood exactly what we were getting. I never felt like anything was a problem or a hassle.
Our driver Youssef was the best. We couldn't have asked for a better person to share our experience with and we will always remember him and feel we have a connection to Morocco through him. His local knowledge and general warmth made our long days together fun. Our 10 day trip from Casablanca to Casablanca and everywhere in between captured so many different experiences. And a special highlight was the New Year's event in the Sahara desert.
I can't recommend Saharan Tours company enough. I just hope one day we can go back with all the family for some more.
