My girlfriend and I did extensive research on Sahara tours before deciding to book with Sun Trails. Christian was fast, efficient, and friendly and helped us create a custom tour and route that hit every location we asked to see, and also helped select some locations that he thought we would enjoy based on our interests. Additionally, he was very communicative about the changing rules around covid to make sure that our trip was perfect.
The morning our trip started, we were greeted at our riad in Marrakech by Majid – little did we know that Majid would become much more than a guide to us – he is now someone we confidently call a friend. Beyond being an excellent driver and conversationalist (very important for those long drives), he is an expert in the areas we explored, often taking us to “locals only” spots, Berber cafes deep in the mountains, a butcher shop for “the best kefta,” cliffside roads for stunning sunsets, and my personal favorite part – an off-road excursion through a clay valley with snow capped mountains on either side. During our 2+ week trip to Morocco, the 4 days with Majid were really the only time we felt truly immersed in the culture.
Each day of our trip was packed with exciting and engaging excursions – salt mines, Pasha’s Palace, Ait Ben Haddou, Ourzazarte film studio, ancient cliffside caves – just to name a few. Our evening were spent in two delightful kasbahs (Kasbah Ellouze and La Perle Du Dades) that were absolutely beautiful and perfectly maintained by wonderful owners who cooked delicious food for us each night. Our final night in the Sahara at Erg Chebbi / Merzouga Comfort Camp was truly magical. Upon arriving (via camel) you are greeted by an oasis in the middle of the massive dunes of the erg. We settled into our deluxe tent with running water and a toilet, and walked around the perfectly decorated and designed camp. Sunset was perfect, and after a wonderful dinner, our hosts sat us and the two other couples at the camp around the fire for some traditional Berber music and drumming. It couldn’t have been more perfect.
All in all, Sun Trails, Majid, and Christian made our trip to Morocco PERFECT. When we go back, we will certainly book more time with them, and may even let them plan our entire itinerary. Thank you Sun Trails!!!
Morocco is an incredible and vibrant country. Its hard to think of what our trip would have been like without Sun-Trails. Majid was not just a guide but a companion and friend who taught us a lot about the cultures and history. He was indispensable when it came to planning our days. Travel logistics can be a challenge for a country of this size. Christian helped formulate the right package for us that included the right blend of rest, romance and adventure. He knows how to tailor a great trip for any budget.
We just finished a four day tour through the desert from Marrakech to Fez. It was a truly incredible trip. The accommodations were from the middle package. We loved the Lma Lodge and the tent in the desert was a delight. Our driver, Mustapha was absolutely outstanding. He is a truly caring person who went above and beyond in every way. He helped entertain and care for our two young daughters, even helping them try new foods and teaching them about Morocco. We peppered him the entire way about Morocco, Islam, Ramadan, and his life at home. He was so positive and helpful. His attitude is infectious. We will truly miss him.
We also did a day trip with Sun trails from Marrakech to Imlil and hiked around to some waterfalls, which included lunch in a Berber home. We loved it. It was a fairly easy hike in a beautiful part of the Atlas Mountains.
Our girls are 7 and 8, and this was an amazing experience for them as well. The camel ride in to the desert will have them talking for years.
We were also in Morocco during Ramadan, which I was a little apprehensive about. We were respectful, but had no issues finding food for tourists during the daylight hours. The markets were buzzing. The sights had shortened hours, but that was no issue for us.
We desperately hope to return someday and will certainly use Sun Trails again.
I wish I could give this review more than 5 stars. We are doing a world tour – and this trip with Suntrails (with Daoud as our guide) is by far the highlight of the entire trip. We did a 4 day tour to the Erg Chigaga dunes in the Sahara and it was breathtaking. The accommodations, sights and car were great but what made this trip so amazing for us was our guide, Daoud.
In order to see the things we wanted, we had several long days in the car and we did the trip with 2 small children (2 and 5). Daoud was fantastic with our kids – playing with them and entertaining them and the kids are still asking me to see him 2 months later.
We decided on the “dreamer” level of accommodation with an upgrade to a luxury tent for the night in the Sahara. I deliberated a lot about which level/price point to choose but what we chose was perfect. The tagines were amazing and the riads were beautiful. Cristian took care (and a lot of emails) to help me include everything I requested out of this trip: camel riding, adventure off the beaten track, hiking to a kasbah, etc. Our guide, Daoud even walked to the next closest desert camp to find us a sand board one morning.
I could go on and on about this experience but I will just say that I have recommended it to anyone I have spoken to about Morocco. I never repeat trips but I am planning a future trip to come back to Morocco just to do another trip with Suntrails to explore more of the country off the beaten track.
A fantastic family holiday! From first contact to post holiday communications, Cristian was attentive, caring and predictive of our needs! With this smaller company you get a truely bespoke service and attention to detail, without the cost of many of their competitors. We felt very confident that we were in good hands with all the planning and preparation and the tour was perfectly delivered. Our driver was amazing and the choice of accommodation met our budget but exceeded our expectations! This is a small company with a big heart.
The Suntrails Itineraries are very well thought out, planned and executed. They provide instant communication and support, fabulous drivers and guides. Your trip is tailored with a lot of love and respect toward the country , history, culture and travelers . We had a pleasure to travel with SunTrails twice and looking forward to more explorations with SunTrails!
