Mohammed Id Hammou
Mohammed has been in the Morocco “adventure” tour business since 1987, and has the hands-on experience necessary to make your voyage personalized, unique, and enjoyable. Mohammed was my guide on three different tours, each time with about thirty other people. For each trip, he was able to meet all of our needs and organize fascinating trips not commonly experienced by everyday packaged-tour tourists. We climbed Mount Toubkal, which was an exhilarating experience, we rode mules through the High Atlas, and we camel trekked in the desert.

On hiking trips, mules are used to transport the luggage ; three meals a day are prepared by the cooks and muleteers and include Moroccan specialities such as tagine, couscous, brochettes, Moroccan salads and mint tea; and accomodation is in tents or Berber houses. On desert trips a range of accomodation and food are available.
The cost of the tour will depend on the length of tour, departure date, group size and the type of accomodation required. Bookings can be arranged over the phone, by email or by completing the online booking enquiry form.
