Desert Stories: our team

We are a family-run company based in M’hamid El Ghizlane. Our local guides understand desert laws and know every path here – their families have been living here for generations. They will guide you, allowing to enjoy the pure experience. We work with experienced, trusted guides and drivers providing their services not only in the desert, but also across Morocco. 

Desert tours from M'hamid, Morocco

The area around M’hamid stands in stark contrast to the busy, tourist-heavy Merzouga region. M’hamid is known for its untouched wilderness, offering a true escape into the tranquil heart of the desert. We purposefully keep our tours far from mass tourism, ensuring the desert is explored in a peaceful and respectful way.

Safe and mindful desert adventures

Every journey we organise honours desert’s laws—its calm, silence, and local traditions. Our tours are entirely private and personalised, carefully crafted to align with your schedule and preferences while prioritising safety and comfort. Whether you opt for one of our guests’ favourite itineraries or desire a custom experience, we will create an unforgettable desert adventure tailored just for you.
