Private 4x4 Tours Morocco
This photograph was taken in Morocco in the 1950s, how nostalgic you might think however
please believe us when we say it is striking because the very same photograph could have been taken today !
In many rural areas throughout Morocco, in particular the Atlas mountain regions and in the Sahara this level of financial and social poverty remains in pockets !
Morocco is funding many projects to appeal to and cater for the international visitor, while so many Moroccans in need are ignored and live as they would have a century ago never mind 50yrs !
The rural mountain villages that take your breath away because of their other worldliness and rustic beauty are without basic infrastructure, sanitation, education, health care, food, clothing, heating facilities for the winter months. In addition in our own Saharan region there is a shortage of running water throughout the year which in itself makes life difficult for households.
You name it, many do not have it !
That said there is no need to travel with a guilt complex in Morocco, Moroccans are a proud, warm hearted and welcoming people in general and would not wish for you to feel uncomfortable
We just ask you be mindful and to give thanks as you journey through this beautiful land and not barter the life out of any trader you meet on the road !

Private 4x4 Desert Tours Morocco.
The Sahara and it's accessible dune sets where our Desert camps are located always result in stand and stare moments, such is the beauty of this unique and panoramic landscape.
Even we, who know it like the back of our Moroccan hands are stopped in our Desert tracks every time we visit, by its constantly shifting beauty.

The Mor'hara Touring Year
The Summer 'Mor'hara Souk' is soon to be on the road again !
First stop Portugal next stop France
Yes, we are primarily a Moroccan tour company but the Summer Season for us is actually our low season because of the high temperatures in Morocco during July and August.
We choose, as a responsible and professional company, not to take clients into the Desert at Chigaga where current temperatures are 5O degrees plus. It's not safe and it's not pleasant for guides or clients.
Members of our family team remain in Morocco to continue touring with clients to the coast and host our varied Day tours from Marrakech
However Hassan for a number of years now prefers to be in Europe where he travels with the Mor'hara pop up souk while the mercury remains unbearably high in Morocco.
He has earned his travelling stripes having been involved with the family business since a child, to now choose not to drive 12 months of the year.
Hassan returns to Morocco in mid September to meet with clients who are specifically travelling with him and thereafter into our high season which consist of the Autumn, Winter and Spring months

We tour the land of magical Kasbahs some maintained and preserved and others crumbling and returning to the earth from which they came.
Ashes to ashes dust to dust in our beloved Saharan landscape.

We are just about to begin Ramadan today in Morocco and prepared last night for 30 days of fasting and....a different mind set !
We will still be working throughout the month but less so.
'Ramadan Kareem' is a greeting which translates as 'Generous Ramadan' relating to acts of generosity towards others.
It is interchanged with the greeting 'Ramadan Mubarak' which translates to 'blessed Ramadan' and how we wish someone ' Happy Ramadan'.
We wish everyone, who are about to join us well, during this reflective month. 🙏

This is a typical date palm scape which can be seen when travelling from Marrakech through the Draa Valley when on one of our Desert Tours.

A colourful family we place stop at with clients sometimes for a spot of lunch, just before heading into the Sahara for a few days.
Everything becomes more and more rustic the closer you get to the Desert.
