Our last experience in Morocco was amazing!
We visited first of all Marrakech and then we rented a 4x4 because we wished absolutely to go to the desert and that was our best idea. We passed through the majestic Atlas Mountains over 2260m, gorgeous! Then we head straight to the Dades valley, I have no words to describe how impressive are all these canyons. After the Dades we continue to the Todra Gorges...these mountains were like huge cliffs, people and even the goats were climbing up there!!!
Just after the Todra Gorges we head to the grandeur and calm of the Sahara desert/Merzouga. The feelings you can have there are indescribable...the sky plenty of stars, you feel you can touch them; the red/orange sand of the dunes is involving you all the time. We finished our trip coming back to Marrakech passing by the Draa valley (once again you discover one of the 1000 treasures of this country) the city where we started and we have the sensation that we lived a dream!!!!
 
"Hamid is a knowledgeable, friendly and understanding guide. He is fluent in many languages and is a great photo model as well. My group very much enjoyed our time with him in the desert with Hamid. I look forward to returning soon!"

¿Por qué visitar Marruecos? ¿Por qué descubrir un país lleno de magia? ¿Qué nos atrae de este maravilloso lugar? Sin duda la curiosidad es una característica inherente a los seres humanos y gracias ella tuve la oportunidad de vivir una de las mejores experiencias en mi vida: descubrir el desierto del Sahara por primera vez, el Erg-Chebbi, poder vivir como la gente nómoda del desierto en jaimas, amanecer entre las dunas y despertarte con el primer rayo de sol así como navegar a medianoche entre la multitud de estrellas que envuelven tu ser! gracias Moroccan Legends por permitirme vivir este sueño!

D'après tout la tournée qu'on ait faite au Maroc, des Marrakech à Merzouga, je garde très précieusement la convivialité et l'amabilité des gens, leur hospitalité mais surtout leur humanité. J'ai pense que je n'aurai pas les mots pour exprimer la sensation et la capacité de communication qu'on peut avoir quand on ne connait pas la langue de l'autre, elle devient encore plus forte ! J'ai pu vivre ce sentiment là dans la tente d'une famille nomade au désert, ils nous on offert tout alors qu'on était des inconnus ! Et rien qu'avec leur regard, leurs gestes…ils nous ont montré tout son bonheur. On a vécu vraiment des moments très enrichissants qu'on gardera pour le reste de notre vie.

I traveled to Morocco on my own, as a young single woman, after first visiting with my family and falling in love with the country. While there on that initial brief trip with my parents, I became friends with Hamid, and so chose him as my guide for my longer return 'solo' adventure.
Hamid proved to be the best tour guide yet!  Very knowledgeable, courteous and professional- he did an excellent job of sharing with me the real Morocco- showing me more than I ever dreamed I could see.  The full experience. 
Between the seaside town of Essouara, the valley of roses and the gorges, the erg chebbi dunes, Ait Ben Haddou, Ourzazate, Marrakech, and the stunning landscapes between- it was a truly inspiring trip.  He's a very safe driver on what can be nerve-wracking roads (those mountains!)... and going through the desert was loads of fun!  Plus his sense of humor and wit are absolutely the best.  Even now, thinking of it, I smile again. 
Additionally, he is very up to date on global politics and happenings- and so open-minded in how he addresses cross-cultural interactions.  Sensitive and articulate, you will come back having learned more than you ever thought possible from this engaging and interesting conversationalist.  Plus his multilingual language skills are excellent, and he is always looking to add to his vocabulary.
The respect that he has among his peers and countrymen goes a long way, as well.  If you ever find yourself in a bind for any reason, he knows just how to help you out.   And I very much enjoyed meeting some of his friends, all friendly and generous people, too.  I feel their character speaks just as much for his- it is not pure coincidence when an individual is surrounded by so many good people as he surrounds himself with.  I felt so welcome and accepted, and truly honored to be allowed in their world as they shared a glimpse into their homes.
Every location we visited, was extraordinary, and the places I stayed were clean, beautiful, and impressive, and still within my very limited budget.  I wanted to see and do it all, and Hamid knew exactly what I would most enjoy and how to advise me.  He also knows exactly where to get the best food at the greatest deal- and will help you make sense of the delicious Moroccan cuisine and dining customs.  And when it comes to navigating those crazy wonderful market mazes- he is the go-to guy.  No question goes unanswered, and if he does not immediately know, he will work hard to find out. 
For the photography buffs, he knows which landscapes and viewing points make for the best shots... and if you wish to be on the other side of the lens for a change, he has a talented artists eye.  For once I actually liked how I looked in my pictures...
It is not just 'luck' that they came out better from this trip, than from anywhere else.  And he works very well with requests- striving to accommodate whatever you may have in mind.
And the music.  He has GREAT taste in music- and exposed me to so many sweet new tracks of all sorts on our longer drives (I requested that he share musicians I may not know of from the region).  This trip even inspired me to learn Arabic after the beginnings with such a wonderful teacher.  And his email 'arabic tutoring' since, has been a continued help.
This is the kind of guy you should bring your business to, when seeking a guide to explore this beautiful country.  He is fun, kind, helpful, intelligent, and sincere.  You are in safe hands when you choose Hamid as your cultural ambassador to Morocco- he will not disappoint.  And there simply could be no better representative to this incredible country.  When you meet Hamid, you may very well be making a friend for life.  I cannot wait to go back... it was truly the trip of a lifetime.
He really does a great job.
