Under Moroccan Sun Tours - King of Prussia, Pennsylvania

We contacted Hassan and asked for a plan for 17 days, touring Morocco. He provided an excellent itinerary that met our budget, modified aspects for us where we wanted more or less time, or specific activities. His communication was phenomenal and I knew, I could count on his response and support.

The thing that can make or break a trip like this is the driver. In this particular case, our driver made the trip! Mouad met us at the airport, went above and beyond within minutes to try and help us find a replacement for some medication, and then got us on our way to Rabat. Mouad deserves a special mention. The "Prince of the Desert", he was upbeat, kind, positive, generous, and informative. He made sure we arrived everywhere safely, always asking if we needed to stop for the washrooms or for food since a number of the drives were very long. He seemed to know everyone! He introduced us to excellent cooperatives where we could learn about a variety of handicrafts and know that anything we purchased was going to go to the people who created them. Somehow we managed to keep to our itinerary while still not feeling rushed or pressured. We were blessed to have Mouad with us for those days and would highly recommend him to anyone joining Under Moroccan Sun! Thanks for everything Mouad.

The itinerary was truly exceptional. We began in Casablanca but immediately went to Rabat. In Rabat we met Mohammed who took us on a tour of the Medina and the Casbah. He was informative and clearly proud of his country. The tour was well worth it. We stayed the night at Riad Kalaa2 which we can highly recommend. (All of the hotels in which we stayed have separate reviews.)

On to Tangier with a stop in Asilah, and stayed at Saba's House. We were met by Abdullah who was not only an excellent concierge but wonderful bartender. We would also recommend this Riad.

We explored the Medina in Tangier with our guide Hanea who gave us the history and an understanding of the various specialties of each area within the Medina.

Chefchaouen (the blue city) was next and we stayed at Riad Nila. Hiked through the gorges, and had a visit to the casbah. We also climbed to the Spanish mosque on the hill to watch the sunset. Crowded, but nice.

On the way to Fez, we stopped at the ruins of Volubilis and our guide was excellent. Fez was wonderful too with our guide Khalid who was knowledgeable, fun, and, having grown up in the city, an expert on all things Fez.

The drive to the desert takes time from Fez but we had great stops along the way with stunning views of the gorges and date palm valleys, with an overnight in Midelt. In Meknes, we stayed at Riad Madu and had a wonderful stay, visiting Zahara for tea in her Berber home. The desert camp, camel ride to get there, dinner, and entertainment, were all a great experience that we would highly recommend.

In The Dades Gorges we stayed at Rihana Dades, a fabulous Riad with amazing food. We enjoyed a hike with Mohammed through the gorges - a man who clearly loves his country and his life, and joined him afterward for lunch made by his lovely wife, Aisha. Her meal was the best we had while in Morocco. Their hospitality was appreciated.

Next to Marrakesh and enjoyed our tour with Suhail who, once again, was informative and kind, and moved at the perfect pace. He joined us on some shopping which was helpful. We enjoyed the cooking school at our luxury hotel, Maison Arabe, and the city, while busy, was worth the visit.

Fiinal stop was Essaouira, a perfect end to our trip. The hotel Villa D'Or was beautiful and the Medina was the best place to be as Eid began. We enjoyed our time wandering the Medina and walking along the extensive beach.

We truly feel we saw the best of Morocco. The people were kind, the cities were incredible, and the food was fantastic. As I said at the beginning, without amazing planning and such a wonderful driver, it would've been very different. If you're headed to Morocco and would like to get the most out of your visit, I can only recommend choosing Under Moroccan Sun.

If I could give this company a 10 star review I would! I have been to 65 countries in my life and countless tours and this is the best tour and tour guide I have ever had! Moha was incredibly informative, warm and always anticipated our needs. We had 9 travelers from ages of 19-56 and Moha kept everyone engaged and entertained. We could not have asked for more. Hassan, the owner of the company stopped by to see us on New Years Eve to check in. He planned a trip that covered different places in Morocco with BEAUTIFUL hotels and great dinners. Everyday was a new adventure and had a personal local touch. Our group is already planning another trip to northern Morocco with the same company and guide.

Under Moroccan Sun customized a 10 day itinerary for our group of 4. We learned about and experienced the richness of this wonderful country and its people - we traveled its cities, mountains and valleys, and the Sahara desert. Our amazing driver was with us and guided us throughout the trip. He opened his heart to us and shared stories about growing up in a Berber village and splitting his time between the city and home. We saw historical and modern day Morocco through his eyes, as well as through the tales of the best local guides at every stop along the way.

Our accommodations were top notch, and each location has its own beauty and personality. The sights we saw and the experiences we had are unforgettable. This country is like a tagine – slow cooked and imparting layers of marvelous flavors and aromas. We're still savoring so many special moments.

We had a choice of travel agencies, and we chose to work with Hassan because of his love of this country and his no-nonsense attitude. Planning the itinerary with him was easy, and we learned during the trip that his network of people in Morocco is unsurpassed. He made magic happen for us, and we are so grateful.

Experiencia absolutamente recomendable. Sin duda es la mejor forma de conocer el Marruecos auténtico. Paisajes increíbles. Viaje en el tiempo. Hamid es un grandísimo profesional que te abrirá las puertas de Marruecos de una forma amable y cuidada. Su dromedario japonés (Toyota Land Cruiser es casi nuevo) y es una gozada viajar en él. No lu dudes, haz tu inmersión en el desierto marroquí con ellos.
