Hello! I’m Ana Silva, writing from Lisbon, Portugal. My family and I recently returned from the unforgettable 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert adventure with Xabbitours. We couldn’t have asked for better companions than Hicham, our guide, and Hamid, our driver — both from Erfoud (I believe). Their warmth, professionalism, and deep knowledge of Morocco made every moment special. Hicham’s storytelling brought the history and landscapes to life, while Hamid navigated the roads with ease and a friendly smile. From the majestic Atlas Mountains to the starry night in the Sahara, this trip exceeded all our expectations. A big heartfelt shukran to Hicham and Hamid for an experience we’ll cherish forever!
