In the words of a client, “Khalil and his team are super drivers, they have the GPS in their minds and as sons of the Desert, they are there in their element.
We Are About Sharing Our Saharan Heritage
As co-owner, Khalil is passionate about his family heritage, which is intrinsically linked to the Moroccan Saharan nomad way of life.
Like many nomadic families in the region, Khalil’s father was forced to settle his family beyond the desert due to increasing and severe water shortages. As a result, the family’s generational nomadic lifestyle became no longer sustainable and their nomadic way of life had to be abandoned.
However, the desert and the nomadic calling remain in Khalil’s blood; the ways of the desert belong to his family and to the DesertBrise Travel team. Khalil is proud of his country and is committed to his culture and heritage. This pride and heritage continue to influence and shape the Morocco tours we offer. It is this heritage and culture specific to southern Morocco and the Sahara — that we want to share with our guests.
We Are About Memorable Moroccan Tours
Khalil and his touring team all have intimate knowledge of their homeland, making them accomplished, confident, and considerate drivers and dessert guides. The entire touring team has a proven track record of managing the holiday experiences of national and international visitors alike.
Khalil and the DesertBrise travel team are warm, friendly, and inviting. We believe that it’s vital to make people feel welcome and the team of Moroccan guides is always happy to have a chat and meet any of your tour guide needs and wishes. All of our Moroccan tour guides are accomplished linguists; they are fluent in Moroccan Darija of course, as well as English, French, and Spanish.
We are sure you will quickly feel at ease with Khalil or any member of our team when you meet them in Morocco. We hope you will get a sense that our guides care about your safety and your enjoyment, and that you have a truly unforgettable experience in Morocco.
