We needed a driver guide 3 times during our stay (airport transfers including one at 11:30pm) and a day in the middle atlas. On all three occasions we had the pleasure of being accompanied by Nabil, who is a very trustworthy driver, discreet, punctual, attentive and very attentive. For example, he fulfilled our wish to go to the monastery of Toumliline near Azrou where the film "Of Men and Gods" was shot. He answered our many questions about Morocco with patience and the desire to share. We highly recommend Nabil as it gives an extra humanity that makes your trip unforgettable.
Un immense merci pour ce magnifique retour 🙏 Nous sommes très touchés de lire votre témoignage et ravis d’apprendre que votre séjour s’est déroulé dans les meilleures conditions. C’est un vrai plaisir de savoir que Nabil a su vous accompagner avec professionnalisme, discrétion et bienveillance, que ce soit pour les transferts (même tard dans la nuit à 23h30) ou pour votre journée dans le Moyen Atlas. Votre visite au monastère de Toumliline, près d’Azrou, est un très bel exemple de ce que nous aimons proposer : des expériences personnalisées, humaines et authentiques, au-delà des itinéraires classiques. Le fait que Nabil ait pu répondre à vos nombreuses questions avec patience et passion reflète parfaitement les valeurs que nous défendons chez Bekben Travel. Merci sincèrement pour votre confiance et votre recommandation. Nous serons honorés de vous accueillir à nouveau lors d’un prochain voyage au Maroc 🇲🇦✨ Bien cordialement, L’équipe Bekben Travel
We cannot find enough words to express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to Nabil, our incredible guide and driver! Nabil is truly a "good man" in every sense of the word! His knowledge of the area, patience and warm personality made our day trip to the Middle Atlas Mountains unforgettable. Under his guidance, we experienced the beauty of the Berber villages, the traditional cave houses and the picturesque views. His in-depth knowledge of the area's history, culture and nature enriched our trip and gave us a new perspective on Moroccan culture. Thank you, Nabil, for an unforgettable day! You are a true ambassador for Morocco and its culture. We will always remember you and express our heartfelt gratitude.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words and for taking the time to share your experience! We are truly delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your day trip to the Middle Atlas Mountains with Nabil. He is indeed an exceptional person — knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about sharing the beauty of Morocco — and we are very proud to have him on our team. Your appreciation means a lot. It’s always our goal to offer authentic experiences, from Berber villages and traditional cave houses to the stunning landscapes of the Atlas, and we’re glad Nabil made your journey memorable and enriching. We hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Morocco for more discoveries and unforgettable moments. Warm regards, Hamza & Team
Provide a tip for the entrance of the cave house in Bhalil. Plan to visit the craft centre of Azrou.
Effectivement, il est toujours utile de prévoir un petit pourboire pour l’entrée de la maison troglodyte à Bhalil, car il s’agit d’une visite gérée par les habitants eux-mêmes. Et la visite du centre artisanal d’Azrou est également une excellente idée pour découvrir le vrai travail des artisans locaux. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié votre expérience et vos conseils seront très utiles aux futurs voyageurs. Au plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau pour d’autres découvertes au Maroc ! Cordialement, Hamza – Bekben Travel
We had a wonderful time with Hamza during our day trip through the Atlas Mountains. He is an excellent driver, he has a good clean and new car and he is very kind and attentive. He showed us everything we wanted, gave us plenty of time at each location and answered all of our questions. Next time I’m in Morocco I’d like to book with him again!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure to take you on the Middle Atlas day trip, and I’m very happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience. I truly appreciate your kind words about my driving, the comfort of the car, and the time we spent exploring each location. Your satisfaction means a lot to me. You are always welcome back in Morocco — it would be an honor to travel with you again on your next visit. Warm regards, Hamza Bekben Travel
An excellent tour taylor- made to our specific requests from pick-up time to providing a guide for our mountain hike. Sufyan, our host for day, was excellent company, gave us time to wander in Ifrain and introduced us to the Amazigh home in a cave where we met our excellent guide for the mountain hike we requested. If this is typical of Bekben’s tours .. go with them!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your customized tour and that everything — from the mountain hike to the visit with the Amazigh family — met your expectations. Sufyan will be very happy to know that his company and care made your day special. At Bekben Travel, we always aim to create authentic experiences tailored to each guest’s interests, so it’s great to know we succeeded. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon for another adventure in Morocco! Warm regards, Hamza & the Bekben Travel Team
We expected a nice day, between Ifrane and Azrou, but Sufyan's company made it beautiful. The trip is very interesting, Ifrane a beautiful town absolutely European, Azrou with its big rock, the spectacular landscape of the Middle Atlas, all very interesting. Sufyan, what about this guy: very nice, competent, a person with a heart of gold, made this itinerary a real cultural exchange. The highlight of the day was the meeting with the monkeys: we loved his suggestion not to feed these beautiful animals, to respect their nature and not make them dependent on humans. Unfortunately, many tourists make this mistake and the monkeys have become accustomed to the food they give them. The visit is highly recommended, the company of Sufyan made it a unique emotion. Thank you so much!
Grazie di cuore per le bellissime parole! 🥰 Siamo felici che abbiate vissuto una giornata indimenticabile tra Ifrane e Azrou, scoprendo la natura e i paesaggi del Medio Atlante. Sufyan sarà felicissimo di sapere che la sua passione e disponibilità hanno reso speciale la vostra esperienza: per noi lo scambio culturale e il rispetto della natura sono fondamentali. Vi aspettiamo presto per vivere insieme nuove emozioni in Marocco!
We spent a very pleasant day with Hamza. Very professional, responsive, interesting, he took care of us. I will recommend to family and friends and when we return with the children I will book my excursions with Bekbentravel who has earned our trust. Looking forward to returning to Morocco!
Un grand merci pour votre magnifique commentaire ! Je suis ravi que vous ayez passé une belle journée en ma compagnie. Votre confiance et vos recommandations me touchent énormément. J’ai hâte de vous retrouver lors de votre prochain voyage en famille pour partager encore de beaux moments au Maroc !
