Memorable Ouarzazate Trip with Ayoub! - We had an amazing trip to Ouarzazate and were lucky to have Ayoub as our driver. He was professional, friendly, and made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. Ayoub shared great insights about the region, stopped at the best spots for photos, and ensured we had everything we needed throughout the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a smooth and enriching travel experience in Morocco!

Excellent Tour - Wonderful trip! Our driver Ayub picked us up from our hotel. He is an excellent driver especially on the windy roads and took time to show us sites on the way and answered all our questions. We were met by our guide Hassan in Ait Ben Haddou and he was excellent. He is very knowlegable and took us around the site. We had lunch at a hotel which over looked Ait Ben Haddou and the food there was delicious. We didn't have time to tour Studio but were able to see the Kasbah. Would highly recomment this to anyone!

As the backdrop for numerous legendary films and TV series - Ouarzazate, often dubbed the Hollywood of the desert exudes an enchanting allure with its cinematic landscapes and ancient kasbahs. Nestled at the edge of the Sahara its a gateway to the stunning Atlas Mountains and the mesmerizing Sahara Desert Its ochre hued architecture and labyrinthine streets evoke a sense of timeless beauty and mystique

Amazing Trip with a very knowledgeable guide .. Ayoub - We had an amazing trip to Ouarzazate with Ayoub. He was an amazing guide and very well spoken. He made sure out trip was comfortable and we made frequent stops to enjoy the view of the winding roads of the mountain. Ayoub also made sure that important landmarks were also covered during the trip and he explained the rich culture and heritage of Marrakech. I would definitely recommend this tour and the drive was very scenic

Good trip but rude driver - The trip was good except that the driver, who was nice at the beginning of the day, started to be less and less sympathic as the day went.
