Dear Mohamad,
Lorraine and I enjoyed our four day camel trek with you.and the cook Mohammed. The tour for just two of us. It was an unexpected surprise and gave us time to spend together as we do not see much of each other. When we were out in the trek you and Mohammed continually made sure we were comfortable on thecamels. When we were walking someone was keeping an eye on us to make sure we were not getting left behind or tiring too much. I enjoyed the cooking nd will try to recreate the soups and salads that Mohammed made for us. I remember the long relaxing lunch breaks where we sat back and enjoyed the scenery. Every night we camped in different scenery. Once at the foot of the mountain pass the one we climbed the next morning. Setting up tent in a sand storm and in the middle of yhe sand dunes watching the sunset are things I will remember forever.
That you cleaned up each camp and picked up the rubbish that other campers had left made us understand that you really do love the desert and want to take care of it. It is good to see ecofriendly people in foreign countries.
We were very impressed with the hospitality given to us by you and at the hotel Dar Raha. The hole time that we were in Morocco and especially in Amezrou we felt completely safe. As two women traveling alone and not speaking any arabic and only a little french we both felt that you went outod your way to look after us and made us feel comfortable in your country. We think that your proffessionalism and resposability were incredible especially your patient with un and the camels. Your ability to speak several languages amazedun and also helped un feel at ease.
Thank you again for a wonderful trip. We had a great experience in your contry and would love to come again for a longer trip.It was a great 50th Birthday prsent for me.!

To really experience to true wonder of the desert I would recommend Mohamad Sirirou, a guide that is truly in touch the spirit and soul of this wonderous place.
We took an 8 day trip with Mohamad and his nephew Ali. Everything was laid for on us, all the practical things, taxi, accomodation before and after the camel trip were organized, and ran without a hitch.
It is true to say that the desert has many faces, from the rocky barren landscape to the rippling high sand dunes. In our eight days we experienced them all. Owning his camels, their behaviour was predictable, calm and often friendly, and for those who believe that camels smell and spit all the time - they don't.!
Mohamad shows a true calmness, and being caught in a rare sandstorm, buffted up and down on the camels like ships in storm he guided us through of swirl of sand. After a days riding, or walking to sit under the stars you can let the pressure and worries of everyday life slip away and enjoy the stillness of the desert landscape.
For those travellers who have no or little French he is an ideal choice. Comfortable communicating in English, French, Arabic, and his native tongue Berber. You can be at ease during journey, not just tourists but real travellers!
We hope to go again next year and return to the place of true beauty.

Since 1996 I have been travelling in Morocco, especially in the south. Very important for such along interest in this kind of travelling, Today I am sure about this, is Mohamad sirirou from zagora. At my first visit in Morocco, I was persuaded by a Japanese women tourist for a guided three day camel trip. I started this trip with her and mohamad really sceptically. What could I expect, three days in desert in nothing? but I had known nothing! Stops in far away desert-villages,talks with lonesome moving goat-herdsmen, nights at the fire and under the stars, walks and rides through fascinating landscapes changed my opinion directly on the seconde day! Very important for this were Mohamad's on facts based and inspiring explanations because himself was born in a berber family in this region. High quality of the tour and the very professional service were best reasons for me to do more longer trips with him in the following years. He helped me to make contacts to the local people in oasis and to nomads. This gave the possibility to understand a bit more whose life in the desert.
I wish everybody positive experience like this. And I want to recommend my friend Mohamad Sirirou from zagora to your trip in the south.
