Hamid was an excellent guide and driver throughout our 20+ hours of travel to and from the desert. He shared his knowledge with us about everything from the history of the Amazigh people to the vastly different landscapes of Morocco that we encountered along the way. The High Atlas mountains, the Dades Valley, and even the massive tower of the solar plant in Ouarzazate really blew us away. We left Hamid for an evening to ride camels into the sand dunes of the Sahara - which was a surreal experience. The desert camp was beautiful, the sunset spectacular, and the Amazigh jam session a fun way to close out an epic day. After the quick truck drive back over the dunes in the morning, we reunited with Hamid and our trusty van and began the haul back to Marrakech. We wish we had more time in this beautiful country. There is really SO much to see.
Our driver Hamid was awesome, very friendly, warm and welcoming, he was giving us so much information on our surroundings and the beautiful areas we drove through. We learned so much about the Amazigh culture, the land, and how they live. Truly an eye opening experience. The camel trek was also an unforgettable experience, itw was unreal to be out in the Sahara among the the dunes and the desert sunset. The camp was beautiful, and comfortable. The camp host and staff were also very welcoming and made it easy to enjoy the whole experience. It was a wonderful trip, thank you!
Ahmad our drive took great care and showed us around. Took us through all the places even in the snow. He is very careful. I highly recommend going with him. He ensured we got our Airbnb be also properly whose address was not clear.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it.
Overall nice experience, but the extra cost for the private tour is not worth the money. In contrary to what we learned from reviews, the tour was exactly the same as the bigger group tours. The driver did take us to the same stops to shop stuff and to the same overpriced mediocre lunch spots - there was no advantage of the private tour other than more comfort on the road. Our driver was actually not amused that we did not buy stuff at the "berber shop" and other stops and obviously disliked our decision to go to the movie museum. Driver was a nice guy, but did not speak English well enough to actually explain stuff or hold a conversation. Furthermore, we did not spend the night in the desert at the mouhou camp but one of the other camps. Mouhou camp was one of the reasons we opted for the tour because it's a little bit further in the desert. That was still okay, as our Camp was indeed "similar". More annoying, however, was the fact that, despite booking Option 2 regarding accomodations (middle class) we spend the second night in precisely the hotel which was listed as example for the (cheaper) Option 1. Tour itself is a super touristic, but overall nice experience. The night in the Desert is nice and the landscapes are fantastic. However, keep in mind that the expensive private tour provides for no extra benefit compared to the bigger group tours in vans or busses besides travelling more comfortable and only with your own group.
The best thing about the trip was our guide, Mustafa. Amazing where he took us to eat, the explanations, the coexistence. We were 10 friends and he was one more. I think the trip without Mustafa would not be the same!! 100% recommended experience.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it.
Our 3-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour with Mouhou Tours was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we were picked up, everything was perfectly organized — comfortable transport, great timing, and the most welcoming guide. The camel ride at sunset, the peaceful desert camp under the stars, and the warmth of the Berber hospitality were beyond amazing. Each stop — the Ziz Valley, Todra Gorge, and Dades Valley — showed a new side of Morocco’s beauty. The desert camp was clean, comfortable, and beautifully set up. Our guide shared so much local culture and made the journey fun and personal. Highly recommend Mouhou Tours for anyone wanting a real Moroccan adventure — professional, friendly, and truly memorable!
Thank you so much for your feedback. We really appreciate it.
The trip was great from start to finish. Could not have wished for a better guide than Mustapha. We had Spanish, English and German speakers in the group and he went out of his way to accommodate everyone. The various stops on route to Merzouga were so well planned ensuring we saw a lot and it broke up the journey nicely. Mustapha was so knowledgable and made every effort to ensure we had a truly memorable trip. The night in the desert was unforgettable and we wouldn’t hesitate for to recommend.
Unforgettable experience with our guide Mustafa, told us about its culture and history, took us to lunch with a Moroccan family, ate typical dishes, did the route on quad bikes and camels and it was amazing!! The two nights were spent in very comfortable, clean rooms with everything you need. We will always remember that night in the desert!! All the staff we dealt with were very friendly and attentive to us. How lucky we were to meet Mustafa
We were a tour of 10 Spanish friends in which we were provided with all the needs that were arising by having a minibus just for us, and in which everything went perfectly, especially thanks to our great guide Mustafa, who adapted to us to the thousand wonders and transmitting all his knowledge about Morocco, both taking us to eat in typical places, and resolving any questions that arose along the way. Undoubtedly an unrepeatable experience, Mustafa president!!
We did not think that booking this tour guide, would certainly mark the best experience of our lives. Thank you all, Jamal in the first place who was an exceptional guide and the little care to make this trip become a waking dream. Thanks to the organizers, the itinerary was perfect, away from tourists, beautiful and exceptional landscapes that you can see only once in your life (of one, oasis, palm grove etc...). Perfect hotel and restaurant choices, incredible views, typical decor and just exquisite dishes. I thank all the members of the hotels, restaurants and those who welcomed us in their workshops, your hospitality has marked us very much. I don’t have enough words to explain how magical it was, to see the Milky Way in the desert, to see the shooting stars, to listen to music stifle... I look forward to coming back, and especially recommend it to my loved ones. Their value for money is more than excellent!!! Thank youiiii Jamal again, really we loved having you as a guide, we learned so much and had eyes amazed by the beauty of Morocco.
