“We had a great time during our tour with Naoufal. First off, we didn’t realize it was a private tour, so that was a nice surprise. He educated on Tangier and we were free to ask questions to him.

“I cannot recommend this tour enough! Due to ferry cancellations, we had missed the ferry we initially planned to take and had to take a later ferry that would arrive after the initial start time of the tour. We were stressed about losing money, but Humza the host was extremely kind and flexible in working with us to find a solution to ensure we were able to still ride the camels and go to dinner. The transportation picked us up directly from the port and drove us directly to the beach to ride the camels. The dinner that followed was absolutely delicious (and very filling) and they were considerate of…”
