Additional Information

We’re an indigenous Berber family hailing from southeastern Morocco, with our roots deeply embedded in the desert where we led a nomadic lifestyle for generations. Our venture centers around our aspiration of sharing the unique Berber culture and offering unforgettable experiences. Both Morocco and The Sahara have always been fascinating destinations for explorers and thus we initiated our enterprise, provided employment to nomadic children, and enabled them to pursue education and evolve into tour guides. We persistently assist many families residing in the distant deserts and other nomadic children who were denied the opportunity of schooling. Furthermore, we have employment opportunities at the campsite which we set up in 2017. Our squad plays a significant role in creating enchanting experiences by resonating the melodies, narratives, and history of Berber civilization and the lifestyle of nomads, delivering understanding that transcends ordinary travel guidebooks or curriculum. We cordially welcome visitors from all over the world. Come, let’s chart out your expedition!

Great time in Morocco - We had a great time! Said was very responsive to my many emails and questions while planning the trip, and our driver, Hassan, was wonderful. He answered all of our questions, was always on time, and made our trip effortless! Our tour guide in Marrakesh was also very knowledgeable and nice. I'd recommend this agency to anyone. We also asked to stay in a larger room at one hotel and this was accommodated with no issue. Overall, we felt safe and very well taken care of!

Trip of a Lifetime! - Just got back from our week long vacation in Morocco. Our entire trip was planned exceptionally and Countryside Morocco went above and beyond exceeding our expectations. Our tour guide Muhammad was amazing, informative and genuinely treated us like family. He answered all of our questions and went into meticulous detail about the Moroccan culture. He made sure every single detail was covered and we had such a fun time getting to know him. The staff at every establishment were so welcoming and friendly and this was the vacation of a lifetime. Look no further when deciding on a company. This is it! We plan to use them again later this year. Yep! We loved it THAT much! Thank you for the amazing memories!

Morocco has our heart! - If you have a chance to visit this beautiful, vibrant country, we highly recommend the tour company Morocco Countryside Tours, [email protected]. They were exceptional and exceeded our expectations. We felt very safe in Morocco. We flew into Marrakech and Morocco Countryside Tours took care of the rest! It was a stress free trip as everything was planned out from our hotels, sighting seeing and half the meals. Mustafa was our wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable and particular in providing us information about his country and answered all our questions. He met us at the airport and instantly made sure we were comfortable on our way to the hotel. The next three days we were on road sight seeing beautiful Morocco and Mustafa made everything pleasant during our trip. We explored the markets of Marrakech. We drank lots of Moroccan mint tea and had delicious Tagines minced beef and eggs, chicken-made in earth-ware pots. While driving across the country, we saw many towns, rural areas and watched Berber living throughout the Atlas mountains. Their buildings are made of Clay. We walked through the beautiful Todra gorge, visited The Kasbah, a UNESCO site. {They were filming Gladiator 2 when we were there}. We enjoyed sunsets and a beautiful sunrise in the desert. We went camel riding in the Erg Chebbi, which is part of the Sahara Desert, and spent an evening in a tent resort with a delicious Moroccan dinner and listening to African folk music. Our trip was beautiful and wonderfully planned out by Morocco Countryside Tours along with our incredible guide, Mustafa.
