    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

    Fun way to see and experience the area.

    Dan_K, Feb 2026
    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.

    Wonderful experience!

    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.

    Fabulous introduction to Desert around Merzouga and all it has to offer

    Siobhan_M, Oct 2025
    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!

    We're so glad we chose to do this 4x4 tour. I can only walk short distances and Said was fantastic, so helpful and understanding. seeing the dunes was amazing and one to cross off the bucket list

    Une expérience inoubliable !

    Karen_G, Jan 2025
    Une superbe aventure avec un guide au top. Toujours très bienveillant, Saïd nous a fait découvrir énormément. Des paysages magnifiques, une histoire sur cette partie du Maroc que nous ne connaissons pas. Une expérience riche en partage et belles rencontres. On en a pris plein les yeux et les oreilles ! Un grand merci à Saïd pour tout, sa générosité et sa disponibilité. Il rajoute avec sa personnalité ce qui fait de cet ensemble un moment inoubliable. Foncez, vous ne le regretterez pas ! Au plaisir de se revoir 🙂
