How did you get involved in travel?

"Born in Sahara Desert of Morocco, Since I opened my eyes I found tourists around me from all over the world. Since that time I started to have ideas about traveling and about the world entirely from the tourists. I have started to pick up words and sentences from deferent languages until I can speak various languages now. From that time I started guiding travelers around Sahara desert then I have worked in several local agencies in Morocco as a guide. now, I focus on escorted guided small groups around Morocco led by a licensed private tour guide."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"In the middle of Sahara Desert since 20 years ago. I encountered a French couple stuck their vehicle in the sand while driving in the desert to reach Merzouga Erg Chebbi sand dunes. I have come to rescue them. but, their vehicle was totally stuck in the sand; no way to move it. So I decided to give them a ride by my moto bike so as they would not miss the sunset in Erg Chebbi sand dunes. On the first ride, I took the wife to the hotel. then I comeback to give a ride to the husband. It was a unique travel experience for me. Now they are my best friends and I visit them time to time in Paris. "

The local tour guides that Majid arranged and that Youssef worked so well with were very knowledgeable. We learned so much and covered a lot of ground.

Our trip was truly fantastic. Thank you Majid and best regards to our dear driver Youssef!!!

Highly recommend that everyone explore this city. It's well worth the drive. We originally reserved a hotel outside the Medina and Youssef brought us to a much better hotel in the heart of the city, which contributed to an amazing experience.

Our local tour guide didn't give us as much insight as we thought we would get from the Medina and seemed more interested in taking us to shops, where we felt pressured to buy something. I would have enjoyed more cultural and historical information.

I just got back from one of the best and most memorable trips I have been fortunate enough to experience! I was told Morocco needed to be done in depth, not just a couple of the big cities, and upon searching I found that a driver/guide and vehicle were essential. I contacted Under the Moroccon Sun using Kim Kim (amongst several other companies), and received a comprehensive response from Majid and Hassan very promptly.

I just got back from one of the best and most memorable trips I have been fortunate enough to experience! I was told Morocco needed to be done in depth, not just a couple of the big cities, and upon searching I found that a driver/guide and vehicle were essential. I contacted Under the Moroccon Sun using Kim Kim (amongst several other companies), and received a comprehensive response from Majid and Hassan very promptly. We worked together to create an itinerary, but after speaking to Hassan on the phone a few times I realized I should let him make suggestions, as he mentioned places and things I wasn't even aware of. The booking process was smooth, prices at par with what others were offering, but the customer service was exceptional!

We were picked up by our driver/guide Mohammad at the airport and we started off on our tour of Morocco.

This trip would not be half as good if it hadn't been for Mohammad. From the moment he picked us up till when we checked in for our flight back, Mohammad made sure every single aspect of our trip went smoothly, and that we were satisfied and happy on every step. Some excellent points below:

• Neat and clean car. Cleaned regularly, filled up regularly
• Eccellent driver! Followed road rules, made accommodations for weather and driving conditions
• stopped frequently and as needed for bathroom breaks/picture opportunities
• kept in touch with our accommodations to ensure a smooth arrival and exit process
• made excellent suggestions for lunch/dinner/coffee and made several accommodations for special needs
• figured out our quirks and acted accordingly
• helped us find bargains, took us to local and reasonable places
• educated us on Moroccon culture and history throughout the day, and pointed out places of interest we would have missed completely

Overall, this trip would not be possible without Hassan and Majid and their organizational skills. But it would be only half as good, if we had not lucked out with Mohammad.

Morocco is a BEAUTIFUL country. With so much diversity in topography and culture, one really needs to tour it in its entirety to fully comprehend and appreciate it.

We were lucky enough to do so, I feel like we didn't miss a single place of interest. And got to know the country and people thoroughly.
We started off with bigger cities, stayed in everything from a mountain casbah to a desert tent, ate everything from berber pizza to tagines...I couldn't have asked for more.

The Riads Hassan picked and booked for us were outstanding. Each location was different, each riad was unique, but every single one added to the trip experience.

Mohammad helped with luggage, check in, check out...basically facilitated us every step of the way.

I would HIGHLY recommend Under the Moroccon Sun, please tall to Hasan and Majid for planning purposes and please request Mohammad as your guide :)

I can go into great depth about the entire experience, but I feel like each experience is unique, and Hassan knows how to tailor these itineraries.

However I just want to say that a great guide and driver can make or break your trip, and Mohammad really was one of the best, most reliable, friendly, and responsible guides we had the good fortune of meeting.

I would like to thank Under the Moroccon Sun for creating for us a memorable, comfortable and exceptional trip, and thank Mohammad for the exceptional care he took of us every step of the way.

I would book again with them in a heartbeat!
