We had and amazing time! junny2024-11-05Verified Best ever 5 Days desert tour from Marrakech It is impossible to express how much we enjoyed our trip to Morocco, which is mostly due to Mohamed. By the end of our trip, our three children, ages seven, nine, and eleven, were all enamored with Moha. On the trip, my daughter turned ten, and he bought gifts for every child! He even managed to procure my kid a cake in the Sahara desert with her name on it! Very safe driving and excellent communication. He was really understanding and listened to what we wanted to do. Definitely going to tell others about Sahara Gate Tours. It really could not have been better in any aspect. Jarmila R2023-11-06Verified Amazing The trip was amazing.
