Hassan El Amrani
Hello, I'm Hassan El Amrani, a native of Merzouga, a small village nestled beside the breathtaking Erg Chebbi sand dunes. Born to nomadic parents who settled in Merzouga to ensure their children's education, I went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Language and Literature. Today, I'm proud to be the founder of Under Moroccan Sun LLC, a reputable tour company specializing in Moroccan travel experiences.
With a passion for sharing the authentic beauty of Morocco, our team crafts personalized tours that cater to each guest's unique interests and curiosity. From the majestic Sahara Desert to the vibrant imperial cities of Marrakesh and Fez, and everything in between, we invite you to discover the genuine essence of this captivating kingdom.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"We cover all of Morocco, from the Sahara desert to the High Atlas Mountains to the Imperial cities of Marrakesh and Fez, and everything in between, we have 13 years of experience with 5 consecutive years of consistently excellent rating from travelers through TripAdvisor platform."
How did you get involved in travel?
"Growing up in the Sahara desert, I often encountered lost people, be they from Morocco or afar (note: there are no road signs out there, so it was easy to lose your bearings!). That, or their vehicles would get stuck in the sand on the their way to the Erg Chebbi sand dunes and I’d have to come to their rescue. After a while, I decided to tackle the root of the problem, and thus started to offer guiding in the desert for a few Dirhams in return; this way fewer people would find themselves in one of the aforementioned pickles, and I could not only start to make a living, but could also meet a variety of people from all over the world - something that I think is crucial when you are young. My passion for travel and guiding grew from then, and I get more and more satisfaction from introducing people to my beautiful homeland. One thing’s for sure: I would not choose any other location or profession."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Back in 2010, three months prior to their trip, 5 Irish travelers insisted on knowing if it would be safe to cross the 7000-ft-high Atlas Mountains. I thought their impassioned query was a bit bizarre, but, sure enough, on the day of their trip, there were heavy rains and thick fog, two conditions that I experience occasionally, but never at quite the same intensity. It was as if the people could sense something was going to happen! We made it cautiously and safely."

It’s hard to fully capture the transformative experience our family had during our trip to Morocco. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Hassan, Ismail, Hamid, and the entire team. Their remarkable professionalism, profound knowledge, and genuine hospitality made our journey truly exceptional. From learning the history of the Almoravid dynasty in the streets of Marrakech to seeing the breathtaking beauty of the Roses and Dades valleys, we've come home from our trip with a passion for learning more about Morocco, as well as for visiting again. Tanmirt!
Dear Tim,
Thank you for your heartfelt words. We’re delighted your journey through Morocco was so meaningful, and I’ll be sure to share your appreciation with Ismail and Hamid. It was our pleasure to host you, and we look forward to welcoming you back whenever you’re ready to explore more of Morocco.

Hassan helped us organise a fabulous trip around Morocco for 7 nights. With our amazing driver and guide Khalid we saw several parts of the country, each beautiful and unique. Our favourite part of the trip was spending a night in Merzouga desert camp, but we also enjoyed Chefchouan, Fez and Marrakesch tremendously. Along the road we got to see some startling wonders like Ait bin haddou and the Todra gorge that look like places from another time.
The trip, the stays, guides and meals were all very well taken care of by Hassan and Khalid.
Hello Madhuri,
I’m so pleased your 7‑night journey through Morocco was such a fabulous experience. It’s wonderful that Khalid’s guidance and the highlights—from Chefchaouen, Fez, and Marrakech to the Merzouga desert camp, Ait Ben Haddou, and Todra Gorge—made the trip so memorable.
Your kind words mean a great deal to both Khalid and me, and I hope we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Morocco for another adventure.
Warm regards,
Hassan

We did not have a guide in Rabat, which we found out once we were in Rabat.
Our driver Mohammed was great. He was always on time. He was courteous and always enquired if I was getting car sick. The vehicle was clean. He invited to his home for Friday lunch couscous., which was very kind and welcoming. Read more
Hi Luigi,

We're sorry to hear there was a miscommunication about the guide in Rabat, and we'll look into it to ensure it doesn't happen again. We're glad Mohammed was able to provide excellent service.

Our driver Mohamed was excellent but the trip planning by Hassan was not detailed or customized to our trip. When reading the notes it seemed like Hassan cut and pasted someone else's itinerary onto our trip. Guides were missing at some of the stops and there was no attempt to compensate us or deal with the problem.
Dear Robert,
Thank you for your candid feedback, and I apologize for the disappointment you've experienced. I've investigated the matter, and it appears there was a miscommunication regarding guide in Rabat and pause in Tangier. I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed Mohamed's company and expertise. Please be assured that we take your feedback seriously and will take immediate action to ensure such incidents are not repeated. Our travelers satisfaction is our top priority, and I'm committed to delivering exceptional service.
Best regards,
Hassan
