Our Story
Since 2016, we've been guiding travelers through the magical landscapes of Morocco — from the red kasbahs to the golden dunes of the Sahara.
Our Story
Get Travel Desert was founded in 2016 by Ahmed Ait Benhaddou, a native of Ouarzazate who grew up among the kasbahs and desert landscapes of southern Morocco. Frustrated by impersonal mass tourism that failed to capture the true spirit of the Sahara, Ahmed set out to create a different kind of tour company.
Our mission from day one has been simple: to provide authentic, personal, and transformative experiences in Morocco — the kind that stay with you long after you return home. We work exclusively with local Berber guides, family-owned camps and riads, and small groups to ensure the most genuine connection with Morocco's culture and landscapes.
Today, we've welcomed over 2,400 travelers from more than 50 countries, and we're proud to maintain a near-perfect 4.9-star rating across all platforms.
“The Sahara does not belong to us — we belong to it. Our job is simply to help others feel that connection.”
— Ahmed Ait Benhaddou, Founder
The Team
Our small but passionate team combines local Berber knowledge with international hospitality standards to create truly exceptional experiences.
Born in Ouarzazate, Ahmed grew up among the kasbahs and desert dunes of southern Morocco. With 15+ years guiding experience, he founded Get Travel Desert in 2016 to share the magic of the Sahara with the world.
Fatima manages all logistics with meticulous care, ensuring every tour runs smoothly from pickup to drop-off. She speaks 5 languages and has personally welcomed guests from over 50 countries.
Youssef is a third-generation Berber guide from Merzouga. His encyclopedic knowledge of the Sahara — its geology, astronomy, and Tuareg traditions — transforms every desert trip into a profound cultural experience.
Originally from Spain, Sofia joined the team in 2019 after falling in love with Morocco on one of our tours. She now leads our guest communications and ensures every traveler feels welcomed and well-prepared.
