Great experience with Adil - Great experience! We traveled with Adil starting from Marrakech and making various stops until we reached the Merzouga desert. Adil was always super helpful with the whole group, open to conversation and super nice. He also helped us in various situations to interact with the local people and always met everyone's needs. All highly recommended!!

Ait Ben Haddou - Chafir was a great guide, who showed us around the sites of Ait Ben Haddou. He gave us the bistrots of the village and how it’s survived until modern day / especially through Film / Movies like Gladiator & Lawrence of Arabia.
