Sahara Desert Tours and Camel Treks
Now
I know why we needed a 4x4! Mustapha and Essalah BOTH EXCELLENT drivers on
those crazy roads and fun to be with. Our 22 year old son thinks he knows
how to be a better driver after the experiences! Our (other) activities, sites
and guides were absolutely wonderful, with the camel trek being the most outstanding
adventure of our vacation!
Erg Chebbi Berber tents. What a grand adventure, wouldn't have missed the
experience for anything! Our camel guide / cook / host was very hospitable
and helpful. We felt "looked after" and special, especially when
we received extra blankets. A small heater w/in the tent would have made it
much more comfortable for us, but we realize the safety/logistics of doing
that is nearly impossible. The fabulous Sahara scenery, delicious dinner and
authentic "feel" made it all worthwhile.
R Richardson and family, USA, 2008
We
totally enjoyed our trip with Morocco Explored. Hammou, our driver, was not
only professional but also kind, calm and insightful. He read us perfectly
and set the right tone according to our mood and needs. We felt safe and well
cared for. The organisation was superb! Our three days felt like a lot more...
we really got a great glimpse of Morocco, and look forward to a return visit
some day. Thank you Hammou and Morocco Explored!
Greetings from, Sara and Rogier, back home in rainy Belgium.
S Smerdon, Belgium, 2008
We
are back after a fabulous time in Morocco. Thank you for your organization
- everything ran so smoothly. The itinerary worked out well for us throughout
the trip.
Our driver Hisham was excellent. Total flexible, helpful and relaxed. We would
definitely recommend you using him again. Overall we were thrilled with the
trip and would recommend your service to others.
A Sullivan, Qatar 2007
I
just wanted to thank Essalah again for making our trip to Morocco such a great
adventure. We all missed you terribly in Fes because we then realized how
much you had been taking care of us!
We felt safe, well-fed, happy and totally comfortable in your care. I particularly
appreciated your safe driving and reminders to drink water. We will never
forget the incredible natural beauty of Morocco, the camel trek, the oasis
of Tinehir, five-five and laughing and talking our way for five very happy
days.
C Whittle, USA 2007
My
friends and I are just back from Morocco, where we had a most splendid time.
Essalah, our driver was superb and certainly made our five days with him most
memorable. He was professional, attentive and above all fun to be with. We
cannot praise him highly enough, he is certainly a great ambassador for your
company.
His driving was safe at all times and the frequent stops for photos or to
stretch our legs a welcome break. Essalah proved to be articulate and 'chatty',
and taught us many things about the Moroccan way of life, and re-introduced
us to the 'delights' of Cat Stevens!
Please can you pass on our Many Thanks to him. Morocco Explored is definately
a company we would recommend to others or use again.
D Holland and friends, UK 2006
I
wanted to send you a brief note to tell you how much we enjoyed our tour.
It was flawless start to finish, and I will never be able to think of Morocco
without thinking of amazing (driver) Hammou. He asked us on the last day what
he should do to improve, and Alexandra and I could not figure out one thing
to change. He took every opportunity possible to teach us and show us new
things. For example, I saw people selling the cactus fruits on the side of
the road and simply asked, "What are those?" Next thing I know,
we have pulled over and are tasting them. He was phenomenal. We felt we had
a teacher, guardian, friend and comedian all rolled into one. We immediately
trusted him and knew we were in good hands with both Hammou and Morocco Explored.
Thank you so much for trip of a lifetime!
L Speros, USA, 2008
The
Landcruiser was very comfortable, clean and well maintained. We only had one
hiccup - when the vehicle wouldn't start while we were at Auberge Yasmina
in Erg Chebbi and neither would the hotel's car. Minor delay of about an hour.
Other than that everything about the car was fine.
Essalah was terrific all around. He made the journey so much more interesting
as he shared his insights and background into Morocco. With an engaging personality,
wonderful sense of humor, and a candor, we couldn't have asked for a better
person with whom to experience the country.
The itinerary and the accolades for Essalah are what prompted us to pick to
travel with Morocco Explored. The trip was good and interesting. Wish we might
have spent a little more time in the desert and in the Tinerhir palmeraie.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience - getting out of the cities and experiencing
the Sahara Desert and the High Atlas and the gorges. It was a treat to spend
time seeing another side of Morocco. The night on the camel trek in the desert
will always be a highlight, but the most memorable part of our trip will be
of our time with Essalah and his wonderful personality as our guide.
P Li, USA, 2007
The
transportation greatly exceeded our expectations. Everyone was extremely happy
with it, especially when we saw on the way what some other groups had to live
with. Essalah is just the best (driver) there is!
The activities were well chosen and all of the activity guides were excellent.
My brother, who was unable to make the walking tour in Todra gardens, was
made an especial fuss of. He pronounced his afternoon with Mr. Abdelfadil
as the highlight of the whole tour.
All (the guides) were exceptionally well qualified, indeed in some cases over-qualified.
They all worked hard to make the activities enjoyable for us.
I was very pleased to have selected Morocco Explored, after investigating
several other options. Overall, the tour was extremely comfortable, very much
enjoyed by us all and excellent value for money. I was made for us by our
guide Essalah, who we would have no hesitation in working with again or recommending
to others. It was with much regret that we left him to swan off to Mali without
us!
P.Hobbs and family, UK, 2007
Myself
and a group of friends had a five day excursion with Morocco Explored and
Essalah in particular. You sir, are one of the most generous, kind, thoughtful
souls I have ever met. You went beyond what was required of you as our guide
and made us feel incredibly welcome and more than comfortable. Your sense
of humour, singing and of course your "girlfriend" (the 4x4) made
our trip together one of the most memorable experiences of my life to date.
The wonderful dinner we all had with you, your brother and father was one
of the high lights of the whole experience. As was sitting in a tent in the
desert with you and Hassan telling jokes all night.
G McBride, Canada 2006
Thank
you so very much for providing Kiran, Carolyn, Sheila and me with such a memorable
Moroccan experience. While we enjoyed Marrakesh and Fez, the real journey
occurred during the 5 days we spent with Morocco Explored. We experienced
so many delightful sights - and an amazing amount of diversity. Mother Nature
put on quite a show.
I also want to express our appreciation for Essalah. We realized just how
spoiled we had become under his care when we arrived in Fes and had to navigate
on our own! It was a shock! All our travel days went smoothly, which are a
tribute to his professionalism. But, it is his warmth and humor that stays
with us. I think we laughed our way across your country.
Please accept all of our thanks and appreciation.
S Lunden and friends, India and USA 2007
We
had a great time, the car was very comfortable, with more than enough room.
Essalah is a good guy. Knowledgable about the country, very friendly and a
pleasure to be around. He seemed to know a lot of people and our diversion
to the villages outside Tinerhir were a highlight. Adi, the camel trek guide
was superb. Very funny, very nice to be around.
Great itinerary, being able to see the mountains, desert, and Tinerhir was
great. Again, the highlights for us were the diversions to the small villages
to meet Moroccans that weren't either in the tourist industry, or trying to
sell us stuff, and the camel trek.
For the reasons above. We will certainly recommend to friends who go to Morocco,
or next time we are back!
J Ratner, USA, 2007
My
partner and I visited morocco last September and took a tour with Morocco
Explored and were fortunate enough to have Essalah as our driver for 3 fantastic
days. Before leaving the UK, I found Robbin very helpful with payments, and
itinerary questions that I had. Our first meeting with Essalah, was the day
before our trip, when he drove to meet us on the outskirts of Marrakech. He
met us with a smile and drove us as close to our Riad as possible, before
paying a local to take us to the door (which he refused to be reinbursed for)
and also to check we were ok and knew the plans for the following day.
The tour we were on mirrored a similar tour conducted by another firm that
was cheaper but travelled in big slow mini-buses lacking air con! Throughout
the trip we kept bumping in to these people who were complaining that their
drivers didn't stop for photos, didn't speak english and wouldn't tell them
were they were going or what they would be doing next. The complete opposite
of Essalah, who was insightful, funny, and very accomodating for our requests
to stop or stay in places longer.
When we arrived in the desert we left on our camels for our camp and shortly
found ourselves in the middle of a sand storm, which was very exciting but
we were not fearful as Essalah and our desert guide where brilliant. The sand
then turned to rain as an electical storm blew over, and during all this Essalah
was fantastic arranging for us to eat our dinner in the tent of a local nomad
family who lived in the desert — which was amazing!
Essalah was fist class, very enthusiastic, and made the trip very funny and
informative for us. Keep up the good work Essalah and Morroco Explored! I
will recommend Morocco Explored to any friend of mine visiting Morocco in
the future...

4x4 Hidden Morocco Tours
We
have just returned from a 7 day 4x4 'Hidden Morocco' trek with Morroco Explored
and this was the ulitmate highlight of our trip to Morocco. Our Guide Hammou
was wonderful, friendly and very professional. Essalah has had wonderful previous
comments and after meeting him I would say that he would have also been a
great driver and host. Nothing was too much trouble for Morocco Explored and
Essalah would check each day that all was going okay. We saw marvelous sites,
some majical picnics in the middle of the Atlas mountains - with only nomads
wandering around, it was the ultimate highlight of our trip and would totally
recommend them!!
L Micalef, UK, 2009
We
wanted to say thanks for a great time in Morocco. It was a perfect introduction
to the country, the itinerary was just the right mix of on-and-off road and
our stopovers were at some stunning places! Many thanks to Essalah for the
driving - also, for knowing some of the best views and photo-opportunities.
We promise to give him some shares when we start up the "Monkey Hammam"
business!
We wish you the best of luck for the future of the company and we hope to
travel with you again sometime (Volubilis, Casablanca, Fes... etc., as well
as a return to the desert).
We're happy to act as referees if you would like to list us on the site.
J Brown & F Downs, UK. 2008
We
got to Merzouga late (8 pm) after stopping at Essalah's house. His family
was amazingly kind and at the end of the visit, I felt I had a new set of
family. What tremendous people. When we left, I told Salah that it would be
near impossible to top that experience. We started the camel trek late due
to the long travel time and seeing the stars at night and the sun rise in
the morning was exactly what I'd hoped.
J Zimmerman family, USA 2006
I
am sending you this e-mail on behalf of all our party to thank Morocco Explored
for a fantastic time in the mountains and the desert, all without exception
thought that this was the highlight of our visit. Please thank the drivers,
Essallah and Salim for a wonderful tour and particularly how they looked after
us.
My biggest dissapointment was not being able to say a proper "thank you"
at the tour end - particularly to Salim who was my driver - because of the
traffic chaos ensuing at the drop-off point, (and) because he was very friendly,
good company and worked hard throughout.
R Spry and friends, UK 2006
We
would like to let you know that we had a great trip with Morocco Explored...
a very organized tour company and our trip itinerary ran smoothly. The four
of us on the 5 days/4 nights desert tour were extremely pleased with your
service and driver. All of us in our party were impressed with his
excellent driving skills especially driving thru the Atlas Mountains region.
We found our trip in the Land Cruiser very safe, relaxing and stress free.
We enjoyed the music and entertainment.
You
treated us... with respect and kindness. We all learned a lot in the five
days. You were very accommodating when we wanted special stops or for having
different lunches. You were very professional, listened to us and were fun
to be with. It was a memorable trip.
After our five days of touring we were looking for a couple of days of R &
R; you recommended Sidi Kaouki, it was one of the highlights of our trip to
Morocco. The hotel, dinners and beach were out of this world. It was everything
you said it would be.
Thanks for making our trip to Morocco special. We would definitely use Morocco
Explored again and highly recommend to others.

Day Trips from Marrakech
Luckily
for us we said hello again for a daytrip to Essaouira. We had such a relaxed
day there, and ate a ridiculous amount of fish, and smiled for another day!
It was strange to return to the hustle and bustle of Marrakech after the hazy
decadence of Essaouira!
In other words, we felt that the company was professional and friendly, and
we got a holiday of a lifetime above and beyond what could ever have been
expected.
K Magowan and her mum, Ireland, 2008
We
returned to the states late last night. Just wanted to let you know that we
had a wonderful time in Morocco and that our driver, Ibrahim, was outstanding.
He was very patient, polite and quite knowledgeable about the various areas
we traveled (Ait Benhaddou, Ouzoud and Essaouira). I appreciate your help.
I wish you continued success.
V Tazian, USA, 2008
Hi
Robbin, back home again in Spain now. Just wanted to say how much we enjoyed
our trip you reccomended to Ait Benhaddou. Everything was perfect. Our Driver
(Mahmud?) was brilliant, charming and informative. We won't hesitate to reccomend
your company to anyone we know travelling to Marrakech, and will definitely
book with you again on our next visit. More than happy for you to use any
comment that you see fit. Much success to you, four happy pensioners. Thanks
again. Kind regards.

Best of Morocco Tours
Just
a quick note to let you know what a wonderful time we had with Morocco Explored.
Thank you for a truly magical experience in a beautiful country. Mom had a
wonderful 85th birthday. I will highly recommend your trips to anyone I know
heading in that direction. I hope to return to Morocco with the rest of my
family in the next few years.
J Slaton, USA, 2008
I just wanted to write to thank you for the wonderful tour you organized for
me and my parents back in January/February.
We had an amazing eight days traveling a circuit that went from Casablanca
through Marrakech to the desert, to Fez and back to Casablanca. The highlights
of our tour were many. But here are just a few:
• Staying with Maria and Mohammed in Marrakech was a real pleasure.
They are a delightful couple who truly welcomed us into their beautiful home.
• The camel ride into the desert to watch the sunset was one of those
once in a lifetime, take-your-breath-away experiences that should not be missed
by anyone traveling through Morocco.
• Our guide in Fez was outstanding. He completely knew his stuff and
had a real talent for keeping us entertained while being truly wise and informative.
We learnt a lot from Tami in Fez…and not just about the history of the
place…but about deeper things like faith, culture and politics and the
like.
• And last, but definitely not least, is our driver Essalah. Essalah
knows everybody in Morocco…is completely in control of every situation…and
is totally cool! And his parking skills in Marrakech! You would think he was
parking a mini not a whopping big 4 wheel drive! Essalah also added a bit
of style to our trip with his wonderfully flamboyant attire. At some locations
it felt like we were traveling with a rock star, with other tourists desperately
trying to steal photos when he wasn’t looking! Essalah is very good
at his job and he worked hard to make sure that our tour was a great experience
from beginning to end. Our trip would not have been the same without him.
Thank you again Robbin. My parents and I had the trip of a lifetime with Morocco
Explored and we continue to sing your praises to anyone who will listen.
A Cooper and her mum and dad, New Zealand, 2008
My
significant other and I traveled to Morocco for 18 days, me for the first
time, my SO is an old hand at this country. This is a trip I've been dying
to go on for 15 years. I definitely wanted to do a camel trip to Erg Chebbi
but we were having a devil of a time finding a tour we felt comfortable with
-- that is, until I found Morocco Explored and spoke on the phone with Robbin
Yager.
Not only did she encourage us to explore the trip in a different way than
we were originally thinking, but she has continuously and graciously advised
me about other plans, even though her company's services are not involved.
I have changed our itinerary based on her recommendations and every one of
them have turned out superb.
In particular, I want to thank her forever for convincing us to go to Essaouria
rather than Agadir. She also suggested minimizing our time in Casablanca,
which was spot on. By the way, Morocco is absolutely fabulous... I will probably
come back again.
B White and SO, USA 2007
Had
a wonderful time in Morocco. Thank you very much for your planning and advice.
Time went so quickly but we seemed to do so much within the time we had there.
Essalah kept us all amused and entertained for the 8 days, more so with his
wit, and driving skills!!! Even talked him into sampling some vegemite!
L Taig and family, Australia 2006
We
would just like to thank you for providing such a wonderful experience-our
Morocco tour was simply the best experience we have had of our 8 month tour
of Europe, Turkey and Egypt.
We loved every minute and will never forget this fantastic experience. The
places we visited were fascinating, the accommodations and food great. Value
for money compared to other providers and also it was great to have our freedom
to do what we wanted. Thanks to our driver, Abdul-some tricky places he took
us (gorges) which made it even more exciting! Thanks to Essalah who met us
at the start and half way through our trip and was great to chat to.
Would recommend this trip (desert and camel etc) to anyone and the country
itself-WOW!
J Dash, New Zealand 2008
Im
just emailing to let you know that we had an amazing time in Morocco. The
experience was more than we could have ever expected. Essalah was the best.
He really kept the spirit alive in our group, and showed us a great time.
The trip really wouldn't have been the same without him. We had alot of fun,
and I'm really glad that we decided to book a tour with Morocco Explored.
Thank you very much for an experience we will never forget.
L Ito and friends, Canada and UK 2006
We
found our Morocco experience very pleasant and will recommend your company
to friends in the future. We found Essalah to be very pleasant company and
an excellent companion. We would also like to commend the camel guide Adi
on the desert trip, he gave excellent service and was attentive at all times.
We found the accommodation was generally of a good standard and were pleasantly
surprised, and thank you and your company for a pleasant and pleasurable experience.
On a personal note, I was very impressed by your own story as explained to
us by Essalah, and commend you on your charitable work.
S Halik, London, 2008
We
have recently returned from our trip and wanted to let you know that we had
a FANTASTIC time. The itinerary you put together was perfect and we felt that
each day allowed us to learn more about the country and the culture of the
people. In addition, each of the four drivers we had added a different dimension
to our trip which we enjoyed greatly.
I apologize again for all the e-mails I had sent to you and would like to
tell you once again how much I appreciate the time you put forth in promptly
replying to them.
I have already done some advertising for Morocco Explored as I showed the
Morocco photos from our camera to a woman who sat near me on the plane ride
home from Lisbon then wrote down the website address for her since she expressed
interest in a future trip to Morocco. Feel free to give our names to anyone
who may ask for references as I would be more than happy to promote your company.
D Danbom, USA, 2008
The tour as a whole was absolutely wonderful, fascinating, unbelievable! Folks
in our small town in the southern U.S. cannot possible understand the magnitude
of the fabulous sites, cultures, and people we experienced during our Morocco
Explored tour. Our very busy itinerary allowed us to experience so much of
Morocco and its' exceptional beauty and the amazing natural and ancient sites.
Everywhere, the people seemed kind, unhurried and pleased to welcome us.
Your help and insight with our (7 day) itinerary was so correct. It was a
lot of driving, but we wanted to see and do all we could during our Morocco
visit. We felt we had an excellent overview of Morocco and the vast differences
within: gorgeous coast, Sahara, desert areas, oasis, High Atlas mountains
(some snow), Anti-Atlas scrub, farm land, Argon trees and surrounding area,
Atlantic ports, busy cities and quaint kasbahs and villages.
THANKS for such a great, memorable vacation with grown children. Someday I
hope to return to Morocco for an extended time in order to enjoy each beautiful
area of this varied country.
R Richardson and family, USA, 2008
On
the whole, our trip was fantastic - thank you very much! The people we met
were so very nice, and the scenery was unique and unlike anything we've seen
before. Once I got used to the practice of haggling, that was fun too.
Although no one in my family speaks (much) French, Arabic or Berber, we had
no trouble meeting and interacting with the locals - in fact it increased
the charm of the trip.
Ouzoud - WOW!!! What an amazing place... the hotel was also fabulous. I think the sitting area on the second floor is my favorite place in Morocco. I could spend hours there just sitting looking into the valley and listening to the water fall. I really regret not spending 3 days in Ouzoud.
We
got to Merzouga late (8 pm) after stopping at Essalah's house. His family
was amazingly kind and at the end of the visit, I felt I had a new set of
family. What tremendous people. When we left, I told Salah that it would be
near impossible to top that experience. We started the camel trek late due
to the long travel time and seeing the stars at night and the sun rise in
the morning was exactly what I'd hoped.

New Years Eve Desert Tours
I
just wanted to say thanks for a great tour, this new years.
We had such a great time and have memories we will treasure forever. I also
want to say a special thanks to our driver, Abdul. Apart from being the first
Moroccan who wasn't trying to haggle us, and even though his English was limited
(it was still fun trying to communicate with him - the love that he has for
his country and heritiage was evident, and it made us feel a little bit special
that he was showing us this place he clearly loves. Hopefully we'll be on
another tour soon! Thanks again.

Lovely
to hear from you and thanks for the card! I fully intended to email to say
what a fantastic time we had in Morocco. You looked after us brilliantly -
and Hammou was a great driver and companion too.
We had good fun together - and he took some brilliant pictures for us. Time
has rushed by and of course Christmas has been a very busy time as always.
We've just had our fourth day of partying - and now need to get ready for
New Years - another party! Thank you so much for helping to make our holiday
such a fantastic and memorable time. Our three nights in Marrakesh were also
facinating - hope we will visit again some day. Here is our Christmas card
for you - we sent the same to all our friends! Happy New Year!
With love,

a lot for your mail and thanks a lot for your fidelity to Tomboctou and

be at your entire disposal. This writer is impressed of the way and speed
you did grow your entreprise and has already told this to Mr. Sallah. Till
soon then
Edi, Manager, Hotel Tomboctou, 2009
I
am a New Zealander and when talking with some friends in Qatar about travelling
in Morocco, your tour company came up. They, with a couple of other friends
travelled with you in December 2006. They RAVED about their experience with
you!! Saying that it was the best trip they have ever done!!
A future traveller, 2008
I just wanted to let you know that we all had a great time! Essalah did a
great job of getting us to all the places we hoped to see and the timing was
fine. Both my friends were extremely happy with the trip, the experiences
and the photos they got (we will see more as they get them developed). So...
thank you VERY much for making it such a wonderful tour. This was their one
trip to Morocco so I am glad it was a positive one (that was my job! [:)]

Mountain Trekking
The
(M'goun) trek was absolutely one of the real highlights of the trip. Yesterday,
I received two CD's and once I looked through the photos I realized just how
great the trek really was. If people contact you about trekking my response
would be that the M'Goun region is a must do!!!!
T&A Magee, Canada 2006.
We loved everything about the trip; the organisation of the trip, the well chosen route, our guide Mohammed and his team of mulists Brahim and Abdouhl, and the food. It was a true adventure and so much more "real" than previous treks we have done with bigger, well known, international companies.
Accomodation was a mixture of camping and gites and on the last night we were even invited to one of the mulists place for dinner.
If
you are looking for a professional, friendly adventure in Morocco then I thoroughly
recommend them.
L Hollands, Australia, 2008
Thanks
for all of your help in putting together our trek, which was a fantastic experience.
The muler crew in particular – Ahmed, Hussein and Hassan were hard working,
great cooks, and good companions. Their sense of humor transcended the language
barrier, and they really made us feel welcome and part of their culture. We
particularly enjoyed the nightly serenade by Hussein with backup vocals from
his two compatriots.
We were also very happy with the guide Lhassan whose good humor kept us going
through the tough days of the trek. In particular his services were invaluable
in negotiating the taxi rides, something that would have been very difficult
on our own.
They (the guide and mulers) all gave us service above and beyond the call
of duty... they showed endless patience and good spirits.

I
hope that you are well in Marrakech. Sorry this has taken me so long to get
back to you but I just wanted to say thanks for all of assistance you gave
us with organising the trek in the High Atlas Mountains.
Steve and I had a fantastic time and Mohammed was amazing (he spoke 5 languages).
He was professional, informative and a lot of fun. The meals were amazing
and the trek took us through some amazing scenery that was different each
day. It was the highlight of our trip to Morocco and we have recommended it
to all of our friends. My only regret was that we thought that we had taken
more cash with us on the trek as we intended on giving Mohammed a bigger tip
as he really was brilliant.

We
had a great trek! Everything was really well organised, the guide was very
informed, friendly and we got on well with him.
The food was fantastic, so much fresh fruit and vegetables and everything
was presented beautifully. Everybody that we met and the muleteers were extremely
friendly and helpful. Best of all was the birthday candles and chocolates
on Dannys 36th and also the bottle of wine and the phone call from your colleague
who we met in Marrakech was such a nice touch.
We
definately would choose your company again should we decide on future treks
or tours in Morocco.

You
have been recommended by a friend who used your company recently and said
you were fantastic! We definitely want to do a trek of some description and
will book through you.

Greetings
from the Pacific Northwest! The vehicle and the drivers on our trip were excellent,
as was the food (although there was usually too much of it!). The guides were
very good.
The High Atlas trekking ghites on the first two nights were nicer than I expected
(the second night in particular), but I enjoyed the home-stay on the third
night more because it gave us a chance to interact with a Berber family. For
the same reason, the lunch we had with a family on the third day was a highlight
of the trek.
The Saghro Trek felt like more of an adventure than the High Atlas trek, in
part because there were so few tourists in the area. The ghites and campsites
were great. I really enjoyed our trip and would recommend Morocco Explored
to others.
