Morocco is Amazing!!! 🤩 - Wow! What an experience!! I had a wonderful time traveling around Morocco for two weeks! My trip was very well organized and my driver was very professional. My driver, Mouad, made my trip a very memorable experience by going above and beyond to make sure I was happy and comfortable. Mouad did an incredible job as my tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history of Morocco and tailored the trip to suit my interests. Much love Mouad! ❤️ Thanks so much to Hamid for organizing this trip for me!

A great way to see and learn about Morocco - Our tour started with the person who tied it all together, Hamid, our driver, who made the necessary travel to all the locations both comfortable and a pleasure. The local guides were friendly spending several hours sharing their knowledge with us. The riads that we stayed in ranged from traditional with colorful mosaics to more modern, yet still Moroccan. The common element to all of them were the great staffs that were concerned about our wellbeing and that we started our day off with a delicious breakfast. We may have been able plan a trip on our own but I don’t think we would experienced or learned half of what we did. A beautiful country filled with friendly people. An experience we will never forget. Highly recommend Under Moroccan Sun Tours and thank you for a wonderful time!

What an amazing time - My husband and I had a great time! Our driver, Mohammed, was very nice. He showed us all of the best spots and gave us insider tips. While driving, he would share Moroccan culture with us. We always felt safe and happy! Would highly recommend.

Wouldn't travel to Morocco any other way! - I cannot sing enough praise for Hassan and his team. From the first point of contact to helping us manage a cancelled flight on our last day, Hassan and our point of contact in Morocco - the amazing Ismail, made our trip absolutely flawless. My partner and I travelled alone and felt taken care of every step of the way. Ismail, our driver and guide, made the trip for us, offering advice, stories and rich history. We were provided with an amazing personal guide in each city and always felt supported and secure. The hotels and riad's Hassan picked for us to stay in were luxurious hidden gems. Thank you Hassan and Ismail for the most amazing trip. Truly a memory we will never forget!

Trip of a Lifetime! - We had the time of our lives on our vacation to Morocco with Under the Moroccan Sun. A ‘very big welcome’ awaited us when we met our driver/guide, Mouad in Morocco. We were greeted with a big smile, well wishes, and a rose to start our trip. We found Under the Moroccan Sun through Zicasso. Hassan was wonderful to work with. We spoke with him on the phone several times while planning our trip. He always responded quickly when we reached out. The itinerary was based on our interests. Hassan was flexible in making any adjustments that we suggested for our trip. He coordinated everything: driver, tours, accommodations, cooking class, Hammam, etc. We had absolutely no problems with the scheduling of activities or accommodations throughout the trip. We enjoyed all of the activities and the restaurant recommendations that Hassan gave us prior to our trip. Hassan also checked in with us during our vacation. We spent 12 days in Morocco and visited the following cities: Casablanca, Rabat, Meknes, Fez, Merzouga, Atlas Mountains, Marrakech and Essoura. Some highlights of our trip included: Hassan II Mosque, Fez Medina, Barbary Apes, visit to Berber family home, visit to the local school, camel ride, luxury Sahara Desert Camp, 4x4 through the dunes, Nomad camp visit, Atlas mountains, cooking class, Hammam, goats in Argan trees, beach, and snake charmer. Mouad played a big part in making our trip fantastic. He was kind, professional, responsive, and informative. Mouad made us feel safe and comfortable. We began to feel like he was part of our family. Mouad speaks several languages. He communicated for us throughout the trip. This helped our trip to run very smoothly. He talked with our Riad personnel, tour guides, restaurant staff, etc. Mouad often went above and beyond the itinerary and set up special excursions that were tailored to our interests. Mouad’s extensive knowledge of Morocco and its culture enhanced our experience. We learned so much about Morocco. The hospitality of Mouad and all of the Moroccan people made us fall in love with the country. I can go on and on about the positive experiences with had with Mouad! Overall, the accommodations were top notch. The Salam Fes was an outstanding riad and probably our favorite. It was beautiful, clean, and the service was fantastic. We highly recommend Under the Moroccan Sun (Hassan) and our driver/guide Mouad. Morocco is a very friendly and fun place to visit. We had the trip of a lifetime! Mike

We had the time of our lives on our vacation to Morocco with Under the Moroccan Sun. - A ‘very big welcome’ awaited us when we met our driver/guide, Mouad in Morocco. We were greeted with a big smile, well wishes, and a rose. The van was clean, spacious, and stocked with bottled water for our trip. We found Under the Moroccan Sun through Zicasso. Hassan was wonderful to work with. He is a native Moroccan who now lives in the US. We spoke with him on the phone several times while planning our trip. He always responded quickly when we reached out. The itinerary was based on our interests. Hassan was flexible in making any adjustments that we suggested for our trip. All reservations were coordinated by Hassan in advance to our trip. He coordinated everything: driver, tours, accommodations, cooking class, Hammam, etc. The itinerary was executed flawlessly.

Please note that we did much, much more and every day was more exciting than the next. It’s just impossible to include everything! Mouad played a big part in making our trip fantastic. He was kind, professional, responsive, and informative. Traveling across the world to a new place where we did not know the culture and the language was a little scary. Mouad made us feel safe and comfortable. We began to feel like he was part of our family. Mouad speaks several languages. He communicated for us throughout the trip. This helped our trip to run very smoothly. He talked with our Riad personnel, tour guides, restaurant staff, etc. Hassan, from Under the Moroccan Sun, set up our amazing itinerary. The daily coordination of the vacation was handled by Mouad. Our trip was completely worry free. Mouad followed the daily itinerary. All we had to do was jump in the van and Mouad led us through our exciting days. Mouad often went above and beyond the itinerary and set up special excursions that were tailored to our interests. For example, after mentioning that I was a teacher, Mouad set up a visit to a local school. It was one of the best experiences of our trip. He also took us on a thrilling 4x4 drive through the dunes of the Sahara. That is something we will never forget. Mouad was always on time and the van was always clean with a fresh bottle of water. He was very flexible and his first aim was always to make sure we were having a good time. If we needed to make a stop, Mouad stopped. If we wanted to adjust the itinerary, Mouad adjusted. For example, I asked Mouad if we could stop to get some Coke Zero to keep in the van. Mouad found a store for us. In addition, he checked in with me periodically to see if we needed to stop to buy some more. Mouad’s extensive knowledge of Morocco and its culture enhanced our experience. We learned so much about Morocco. The hospitality of Mouad and all of the Moroccan people made us fall in love with the country. We had an opportunity to stop at Mouad’s aunt’s house and have tea with her and her family. They live in a small Berber community in a valley of the Atlas mountains. What a unique and heartwarming experience! Most of our accommodations were top notch. The Salam Fes was an outstanding riad. It was beautiful, clean, and the service was fantastic. During our visit to Marrakech we stayed at the Riad Spice. This riad was not our favorite. It had beautiful architecture and the room was clean and comfortable. However, it did not hold up to the standard set by our previous accommodations on the trip. As soon as we reported our concern to Hassan, he accommodated our request to switch accommodations right away. Our new accommodation was great. This was one small blip in an otherwise OUTSTANDING trip. We highly recommend Under the Moroccan Sun (Hassan) and our driver/guide Mouad. Morocco is a very friendly place to visit and we felt safe. We had the trip of a lifetime!

Most amazing experience - This was the most amazing and enriching vacation ever! From the planning to the execution, everything was flawless. Hassan was extremely flexible when we planned our trip to accommodate our family. We saw Casablanca, Meknes, Chefchaouen, Fes, the Atlas Mountains, and Marrakech. Every single Riad was so beautiful, every tour guide was so knowledgeable and forthcoming, And our driver Ismail was the best! We could not be any happier - I will be savoring the memories for a long time!

Wonderful Moroccan experience - Everything was very well organized and our driver and the Riyads in which we stayed were wonderful. When we had a change of plans, Hassan was incredibly accommodating to try to arrange the best experience for us. I would highly recommend a trip with this company because they organize exclusively in morocco and are well-connected with guides and make themselves available for any questions that come up along the way!

Once in a lifetime trip - I started planning or thinking about the trip about a year in advance because we were in a pandemic and I needed something to look forward to. I chose under the Moroccan sun because Hassan was really great at following up. He answered all of my questions in a timely manner and was not pushy at all. He customized the trip to the kinds of things I wanted to do. I preferred to not talk on the phone and he respected this, we emailed back and forth and the itinerary was set. I am a female and was traveling alone so I wanted to feel like I could reach out to someone if needed and Hassan kept in contact with me the entire trip, making sure all was going well. The morning my flight left home my very first text was from him. Such great service! He gave me my driver Ismail’s number in advance so I wouldn’t have any trouble at the airport. The van was so comfortable and nicer than I expected for just myself! I was very impressed. I took so many photos from the backseats. The trip was a once in a lifetime vacation for me. 15 days of nonstop exploration, a vivid photograph at every turn. My favorite was the desert, high up on the camel, so peaceful and then drums around the fire at night were mesmerizing. All the guides I met in each city were knowledgeable and friendly and each was very different- if I had to guess ages ranged from 26 to 76! I really feel like I got to know a range of different ways that Moroccans live and enjoy their country. I appreciated my driver very much as he became protective over me and made sure I never walked alone at night back to my riad. After two weeks in a car with someone you become great friends and I do miss him!

Stop! Look no further! Under The Moroccan Sun is the ONLY travel company you should work with. - Where does one start after such a wonderful experience?! The trip was perfect from beginning to end. First, the Planning: Hassan worked with me, via email, to build a 9 day itinerary for my two teenagers and I that married my requirements to see some of Morocco, learn about its history, as well as mix in outdoor/athletic adventures. A bit outside the typical 'tourist' lane but Hassan pulled it off without a hitch. Hassan also stayed in touch with us for the duration of the trip to ensure everything was going well and was available if/when we ever needed anything. This included helping us change our itinerary real-time to give us an extra day in the Sahara. Next, the Execution: Hassan connected us with Hammid as our driver/guide. Hammid was kind, patient, helpful, informative and after 9 days together...felt like part of the family. He was an excellent driver, spoke English [and several other languages] well, and it didn't hurt that he had an infectious laugh:). Hammid was by our side [or, at least, available] from the moment we arrived in Casablanca to the moment he dropped us off at the airport 9 days later. Hammid went above and beyond ensuring the little details were ironed out on-the-go. [arranging for laundry to be done overnight, translating as necessary, coordinating real-time requests like skipping a camel-ride and choosing to walk the desert ourselves, and taking us off the beaten path to see/meet nomadic moroccans both in the mountains and in the desert, to name just a few.] Leaving so much in the hands of Hassan/Hammid felt a little unsettling but I'm sure glad I did it. The lodging Hassan arranged was perfect, the food/restaurants recommended by Hammid were excellent, and the activities coordinated by Hassan/Hammid [paragliding, ATV rides in the desert, biking in the mountains, cooking classes, local guides for tours of different cities, etc] made the experience one of the best trips we've ever taken. Thank you Hassan and Hammid!
