I was in the desert near Merzouga with Hassan and it was such a beautiful experience. He looked after me both at the dunes and at a local event. His experience, passion and care made for an illuminating time and I would highly recommend his services to anyone passing through Morocco!

In Morocco driving isn't easy, especially not in the mountains and dessert. We were fortunate to have a wonderful driver called Hassan. Except as a great driver he was found to be a very pleasant man, smart and ready to help whenever needed. when you are in the same car for many hours it's most important!
