5Fastastic tour with Said!
We had a great time exploring the desert with Said! I requested to visit a nomadic cemetery during the tour which we found really interesting. I was able to book direct, and everything went well, from the first message to the end of the tour. We also really enjoyed learning about Said's life. Highly recommended!
5Fun way to see and experience the area.
We were able to see and do several things we couldn't or wouldn't have known to do on our own. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. His vehicle was in good condition and comfortable. Some of our favorite things were hunting for fossils out in the dessert and having tea in a nomad village.
5Wonderful experience!
We spent two days in Hassilabied and had a wonderful 4x4 tour with Saïd (Best Moroccan Tours). He contacted me right after the booking — already a month before the tour — provided us with helpful information, answered all our questions, and kindly helped me make family-friendly decisions for activities on site, even organizing them for us. In short, his support was absolutely professional, warm-hearted, and attentive, yet never intrusive. The tour itself was an absolute highlight of our Morocco trip. Saïd picked us up directly at Riad Kasbah Aiour, showed us the oasis, and explained how water is brought there and distributed. He then took us to Khamlia, where we enjoyed a Gnaoua music performance and shared tea together. Afterwards, we visited a mine and a nomad family near the Algerian border, and Saïd told us about their customs and way of life. We experienced a breathtaking sunset together in the dunes, enjoying the moment in peace and joy, before being driven back to our hotel — where we had to say goodbye to Saïd with heavy hearts. Throughout the entire day, Saïd was patient and incredibly kind. He took such loving, playful care of our younger daughter and shared many laughs with our older daughter and with us parents as well. We saw and experienced so much in just one day, and we are deeply grateful to him for that. We wholeheartedly recommend Best Moroccan Tours and Saïd. Thank you so very much, dear Saïd, for an unforgettable day! Liana and family
5Great afternoon in Merzouga
We did the 4pm sunset FWD experience and it was great, completely worthwhile. Said was great guide, very friendly and ensured we had a good time.
5Cool desert tour with Said
Very interesting and fun tour with Said. We got a lot of interesting facts about traditional life in the desert without it being too intrusive and had lots of fun driving through the dunes.
5Fabulous introduction to Desert around Merzouga and all it has to offer
Said was an excellent tour guide. He took time to tell us about the Berber people and culture and to explain anything we asked. He was very nice at all times and was a fun guide for the day. He took us on a great adventure through the desert and showed us many beautiful places around Merzouga- among the highlights were the visit to the nomad camp and driving through the dunes. I couldn’t imagine a better guide for the trip. Don’t hesitate to- just book this tour through the desert with Said. It’s a once in a lifetime experience!

About Merzouga
Merzouga is a village at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes in Morocco's Sahara, where camel treks and desert camps head out among tall golden dunes.
Merzouga lies in the south-east of Morocco, not far from the Algerian border, at the edge of Erg Chebbi, a sea of orange dunes that rise as high as about 150 metres. The village is a scatter of flat-roofed mud-brick and concrete houses, with guesthouses and kasbah-style hotels set along the dune edge. The surrounding landscape is stony desert, scattered with oases and dry riverbeds.
