Rabi was a fantastic guide an driver he picked us up outside Marrakech and knew so much about the landscape and history on our way to the Sahara. While in the Sahara he took us on an excursion to visit the nomadic people of the region and provided a ton of great info. After a fabulous three days in the desert, Rabi drove us to fes. It was a great trip with an awesome guide.

 Verified  This is the one. Book it.
One of the best experiences we have ever had. We did a 3 day trip travelling from Marakkesh through the Atlas Mountains to stay on the outskirts of the Erg Chegagag desert then into the desert for a night then a different route back. Every day was memorable and beautiful - Rabi is the perfect guide and we were very glad of his sand driving skills in the desert.Seriously. Just book it. You won’t regret it.

 Verified  Beat tour guide and driver in Morocco!
The Sahara desert was one of my favorite experiences. Rabi planned the whole two nights and three day tour. On the way there, we stopped at many attractions. He explained all the history and details behind it and also was kind enough to take pictures! His knowledge and experience was much appreciated. I’d also like to highlight that he is a very good driver. He was always focused on the road and made sure we were safe. The trip was memorable because of the thoughtful things that he included on our tour-water and beverages for the long road trip to the Sahara, provided us an astrology map to find stars in the Sahara, the conversations and more. I would highly recommend rabi for your next trip to Morocco. We actually found him through a previous client of his who happens to be my friend. So he has a good reputation for a reason. We will definitely be back to explore more of Morocco with him. Thanks rabi!

My brother and I took a trip to Morocco from 6 to 13 February 2020. Rabii was our magnificent guide.He picked us up at the airport in Marrakech and we immediately start our trip to discover this wonderful country.In 8 days thanks to Rabii and his experience we managed to have unforgettable experiences.Our stops:Marrakech—>Merzouga desert—>Fez—>Chefchaouen—>Rabat—>MarrakechRabii organized everything for us, he organized the tour (according to what we wanted to do) and he also booked the hotels and he suggested us amazing restaurants and experiences to do.. we couldn't be happier than that, everything was perfect.The distances are long and the trips by car could be heavy, but Rabii made us do many intermediate stops that allowed us to break the trips and see many more things that we would otherwise have missed.He is a person of an incredible culture, he deeply knows his country under every aspects. He is always available for dialogue and discussion. He is a very good driver, always nice and generous in explanations and advice but never intrusive.It was a real pleasure for us to be able to share this experience with him that surely, without him, would not have been so beautiful.We bring home beautiful memories and we are sure that we will soon return to explore Morocco with Rabii, whom we consider a new friend rather than a guide!I recommend everyone to contact him and rely on Rabii, both in the planning and in the travel phase.Thanks a lot Rabii, see you soon!

 Verified  Amazing: An experience of a lifetime!
Rabii is fabulous trip organizer! He was very thoughtful when planning activities around what we wanted to do and suggested activities we would have never thought of. He suggested the Museum of Water and the Berber village where we enjoyed homemade Moroccan treats while learning how to make traditional Moroccan mint tea!Rabii knows all the “must-see” places in Morocco. He set up our tours of the souks and Medina’s with an amazing tour guide that was super knowledgeable and excited to teach us about the rich culture of Morocco. Our overnight stay in the desert with camel ride was AMAZING. The campsight was beautiful and the meals were prepared by a chef who made us delicious vegetable tagine.Everything Rabii planned was very organized and he was on time for every pick-up and drop-off. His vehicle was also very clean and well air conditioned. It was only my friend and I (both of which are women) and he made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. He made us want to come back to Morocco and explore more! Our trip wouldn’t have been the same without him!
