For anyone looking to have a beautiful, pure, light-hearted desert experience, you should do it with Mohammed, Yassine, and the gang. My experience in M'Hamed, at the riad, and in the desert has been a truly transformative one. The hospitalityu and peace of mind I received from the very beginning was extraordinary, the tagines and couscous mouth watering, and the laughter unshakeable. I was treated as one of the family and welcomed with open arms into the daily life here in Morocco, included on all the outings, but also given my own space and time to cultivate my feelings of desert solitude and tranquility. I really can't write enough about these lovely folks I had the pleasure of spending time with; the way of life here is slow, deliberate, and intentional, and the desert has her unique ability to purify you of crazy thoughts and swirling anxiety, to open you up to release and surrender. Already I feel like a different person than when I arrived, feeling more at ease and comfortable with myself and the nature surrounding be every moment. When I first arrived at the riad, I was taken aback by how beautiful and creative the spaces are. Intricate cob work, beautiful murals, with each room invoking the spirit of the desert and the free-flowing ebb and flow of life within the elements. There are many varying tents and spaces around the land to relax in and socialize, garden spaces full of rock work and greenery to allow for deeper breath, and colorful tapestries that transport you to really being, in the Moroccan landscape. I would highly, highly recommend spending time and energy with Mohammed and Yassine, it will be an existence-changing experience that will shake you and twirl you with beauty and grace. Much love to you all, I'm sure I will be back visiting the land in the future~

I did a lot of research on trekking through the desert, looked at multiple websites, and read tons of reviews. I chose to go with Camel Trek Morocco after reading Mohamed's bio and corresponding with him several times via email. I had the same obvious questions that anyone who has never done anything like this before would have which were all answered fairly promptly and in clear English. What I realized through our conversations is how flexible Mohamed can be with these treks. If the listed treks aren't ideal, he'll work with you to create one that is (even during the trek he was giving me options based on what I was enjoying most). The treks can be as long or short and easy or tough as you want it to be. I decided on a 2 week trek mostly through the sandy parts of the desert since I've driven through the rocky deserts in the US.

My trip started by meeting Mohamed in Marrakesh in the evening and him showing me to the Riad, which were even better than the ones I was staying in before the trek began. We got to know each other a bit, went over some details about the trek, then he pointed me in the right direction to check out the more interesting parts of the city. I had the evening on my own, then we met up in the morning to start the adventure. We had about a 9 hour journey to get to M'hamid which is the last village before the desert. You have the option of getting there by charter bus or private 4x4. I was a little nervous about selecting the bus option only because I didn't know if they would be packed and lacking air conditioning but thought I'd give it a try and just make the bus trip part of the adventure. Turns out the bus was no different than any Greyhound bus in the US, with plenty of air conditioning. The bus makes a handful of stops at various villages which was just enough to allow you to get out and stretch your legs but not enough to make the trip unnecessarily long. At every stop, Mohamed knows a bunch of people from the village. He seems to be a local legend which makes me feel good about our approaching time in the desert. We finally reach M'hamid where we head to another Riad for the night. Like in Marrakesh, the Riad is top notch and is probably a destination of its own even for non trekkers. In the morning, we go get the camels, pack them up and off we go. Along with myself and 3 camels with Arabic names, it's Mohamed and his employee Hussein. Mohamed uses the first few days to learn my preferences and quickly realizes I like coffee in the morning and then I'm good trekking the whole days distance without stopping. I guess the norm is to trek half the distance, stop for a break, and then continue the rest of the way but as I said earlier, the trip can be as flexible as you want. Riding the camel is always an option but I wanted a true nomad experience so I limited my camel riding to just a single day (and I'm even slightly ashamed of having that one day). The late afternoon was the start of my favorite part of the day. The trekking was over, camp was set up, we'd build a fire, Mohamed would make dinner, and Hussein would make fresh bread right in the desert sand. Its amazing the variety of food they would make. I don't think I ever had the same thing twice. Evening would fall and the stars would make an appearance. They called it "Moroccan TV" and just like home, I would fall asleep watching it. In the morning, we would break camp and start trekking again. Like the food, the landscape was always changing. There were high dunes, low dunes, flats, areas of small shrubs, and the oasis. Each landscape was unique and beautiful. Towards the end of the trip, I told Mohamed that I was still going to be in Morocco for a few more days so he and I put a plan together for my remaining time which included splitting up the trip back to Marrakesh over several days. He even took me to a local Hamam which is a must do after a long trek!

After spending 2 weeks with Mohamed and Hussein, I got to know them quite well. Mohamed is a nomad that built a business around his lifestyle as opposed to an entrepreneur who decided to take up camel trekking. If you want to go trekking, this is the person you'd want to go with.

My wife and I just came back from Marrakech where we took a Viator tour which included a camel ride and spend a night in the Saharan Desert. We took the upgrade which gave us a tent with a private bath room. Another couple also took the upgrade so it was the four of us. The owner Hosef , not sure of the spelling could not have been nicer. The camel ride was so beautiful in the desert and the tent was spacious and warm. The next day the sun rise took my breath away. The breakfast was the best we had for the whole trip. The owner then took us on a memorable ride in his jeep to join the rest of the tour group.Wow.

Where to begin..From the Moment that I connected with Mohammed my guide until the end of this Magnificent Magical Journey I was completely blown away at every moment, every day was Amazing and probably the most Amazing moments of my life so far. it is hard to put into words how breathtaking the Desert is but believe me it is one of the Wonders of The world and the feelings that you retain from this magnificent trip are life changing. How do you describe Sleeping under The Stars it is something you have to experience to understand the magnificence of it I will never forget the continuous shooting stars and the millions of stars that compass the night skies, when daybreak comes you just wish it never to end and cannot wait for the next evening to experience it all over again. The Majesty of the Desert and the Beauty of colours that fill all your senses give inspiration to the mind and the slow relaxing pace of the Camel as you trek over the dunes make you really believe that you are a Nomad and that you are travelling between oasis to oasis. The thrill of cooking and eating in the Desert with real Nomads is a real treat and the food is beyond delicious far tastier than anything I had in other restaurants in Morocco. Then to be serenaded again under the stars is the icing on the top fantastic playing and singing Mohammed I felt like a princess being entertained in the Hareem of the Desert. I would highly recommend this trip to all age groups I am over forty and I did not find it hard at all, I just wish it had been longer and I did the Fifteen day trip which I highly recommend, but I will definitely go again maybe even next year and I may do a different tour next time so that I can experience another place.But i will always go with Mohammed who's knowledge is beyond compare his English is Fantastic, he also speaks French,Spanish and German so he told me. He really looked after me and made me feel welcome and Safe the whole journey and his stories kept me entertained throughout. He was Kind and attentive and he really looked after me in such a way as if I was the most important person in the whole desert answering all my questions and just really looking after me. I felt so sad to leave this wonderful place and as I said I will return next year for a different trek maybe this time by foot I really cannot wait. Many Many thanks Mohammed I wish you well on you're venture I know it will be successful as you are one of a kind.

We contacted Mohammed to organize for us a 1 week study trip for a group of students from the MArch Architecture programme at Cardiff University, UK. Camel Trek Morocco normally provide tourists a poetic and beautiful experience of the desert. However we were asking for something a little different.

We wanted the trip to be based around his camp a few miles outside M’hamid and for it to combine a number of different experiences. We asked for a 3 day camel trek. We wanted to visit vernacular buildings in and around M’hamid and we wanted to build using mud. Mohammed delivered everything we asked for and so much more. And it was all included in a fixed per head price agreed at the outset that was constrained by the university budget. He organized the logistics beautifully including airport transfers. But it was Mohammed’s attention to detail and desire to give us over and above what we asked for that really stood out. We wanted to visit the Ksar in old M’hamid (an extraordinary and beautiful fortified farming village made almost entirely of mud) and he arranged for a family who lived there to cook us lunch. We asked to make some mud bricks and he arranged for us to build a hut. If we expressed an interest in local traditions the following meal would be shared with his team and eaten according to their custom. One afternoon a man arrived by moped with a guitar on his back and that evening we sat around the campfire listening to Mohammed and his friends singing and playing music.

Camel trek Morocco is run by Mohammed and he has chosen a great team of people to work with. We would like to thank Petrana, Yunnus, Mohammed’s brother, Hassan who cooked delicious food, Matti, a builder, worked tirelessly to help us make the mud hut and was also our host at the Ksar, Quider made mixing mud look effortless (it isn’t!) as well as Brahim, Said, Alan, Barri (please excuse my spelling) and a big thankyou to Mohammed’s parents.

This trip was special and memorable. It has left us with very positive memories of a lovely community of people and sense of the wonder for the desert environment. We couldn’t recommend Mohammed and his team more highly

I cannot fully describe my gratitude for this experience. I’m not exaggerating when I say it changed how I see myself, humanity, and our place in the cosmos.

With Mohamed as my guide, I was able to deeply dwell and engage with the endless wonder of the Sahara and it’s people. It is a landscape more grandly mysterious and more deeply beautiful than I ever could have imagined. And I felt so honored to eat, laugh, and wonder alongside those who make this place so unique.

The night sky in the Sahara feels tangible and near. The stars are so bright and numerous that it is as though one walks, not beneath, but among them. Every day brought new wonders. At one point during my trip, there was a dust storm—an absolutely amazing experience. The dunes seemed to come alive, rearing up and dancing in the wind. Every morning and evening we saw the sun rise and set in a stunning, slowly unfolding explosion of every color imaginable. There were many special moments and sights that I’m sure were the result of Mohamed’s skill as a guide.

Even though I was traveling alone, I never felt lonely on this trip. It was as if I had always been apart of this family. I was constantly surprised by the care and attention with which they attended to my needs. The food was the best I had during my whole time in Morocco (which is saying something!), and while we ate, we had conversations where I left feeling like a changed, better person.

I miss you guys so much!! Inshalla (god willing) I will come back. No matter where I go or what I do, I will always have these memories with me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the edge of the cosmos for sharing such an amazing gift as this experience with me.

Me and my boyfriend we did the 3-day M´hamid desert tour! Everything was perfectly organized! We were directly picked up from our Riad at the agreed time - the driver was already awaiting us! The car was a well-maintained 4 wheel drive, it was very comfortable and a bottle of water was already awaiting us. Our driver Mohammad was great - he was very flexible with the stops and adapted the agenda to our needs whereever possible. Regular bath room stops were planned. Mohammad spoke English, French and Arab so the communication was no problem. We felt very safe the whole time and Mohammad was always were he was supposed to be - no waiting times. I really loved the desert experience and would definately go for a longer desert-trip the next time!

This trek totally made our Morocco trip. The hospitality, courtesy and kindness shown be Mohammed and the rest of the crew was truly the highlight of our trip. They went above and beyond. It was no-nonsense, exactly what we asked/looking for. They didn't try to up sell or walk us into a tourist trap (like so many other horror stories I have heard from friends who have been to Morocco and done a camel ride)

When we pictured a desert adventure, we envisioned the days of early explorers headed out into the vast Sahara on a camel caravan, devoid of modern motorized vehicles. We searched the web and finally found this group ( MP Sahara tours).

During the planning phase Mohammed and Laila were very easy to work with. They were prompt and concrete with their replies (even though we were half a world away). They were accommodating to our requests (half our group was vegetarian) and flexible on dates. The price was reasonable and fixed on a per person per day basis. Mohammed also arranged for taxi to and from M'hamid (from Marrakesh) for a reasonable price. (Warning: It is almost an entire days drive). So it was literally a non-hassle trip the moment we got onto the taxi.

I was tracking our progress on my GPS watch and was amazed that we were maintaining a near perfect straight line. Our guides were just using the horizon as reference. The camels seemed to have been treated well and left to graze during stops for lunch and at night. The camps were set up to protect us from the elements. Since the camps are not predetermined, you get to experience the solitude of camping by yourself and enjoying the starry sky at night. In all a very delightful and fun experience.

The food that our guides cooked in the desert was among the best I had eaten in Morocco. I was also amazed that our guides made semolina bread out in the desert without an oven in the sand and we didn't encounter a single grain of sand in the bread we ate. Amazing!!. I consider myself an amateur bread baker, so I was a very impressed with this technique.

In conclusion, pick this group for your camel trekking desert adventure. You will have no regrets. We have added a 7 day camel trekking trip to our bucket list and would pick MP Sahara tours to lead us when we do.

Our night in the desert was the best part of our trip to Morocco. Hanging out with our guides was so fun, they told us so much about the desert and life in Morocco. We wish we had stayed longer. Traveling as two women in an unfamiliar country was a little bit intimidating, but while we were with our guides, we felt very safe and comfortable. The accommodations in the camp at M’hamid were fabulous, the scenery was beautiful. 100% would recommend this tour company to anyone who wants to visit the Sahara. Thank you so much for a great visit!
