点评:I have traveled a lot—many countries, many continents—but my experience in the Merzouga's desert with Hmad has been one of the highlights of my life. I had done another desert trip in Morocco before, and I thought it couldn't get any better. I was so wrong.
From the moment we met Hmad, he made us feel comfortable. We started the trip exhausted, and he understood that immediately—he gave us space, let us rest, and didn’t push conversation. As we got more comfortable, we realized what an incredible guide (and person) he is. His knowledge of Moroccan culture, especially the Amazigh (Berber) heritage, is truly fascinating. He answered all our questions and painted a rich and often overlooked picture of these people and their history. You can tell he is a nomad at heart—he knows the roads like the back of his hand.
Driving through the Route of 1000 Kasbahs was an unbelievable experience with Hmad at the wheel. He took us to the best spots, explained everything about the landscapes, the history, and the people. He even played a lot of Berber music, which we loved so much that we brought it back to Spain!
The accommodations he chose for us were perfect, especially in the Merzouga desert. Every place felt authentic and welcoming, just like the people we met along the way. After spending four days with him, it genuinely felt like we had made a great friend, and saying goodbye was unexpectedly emotional.
At first, I thought hiring a driver might make the experience feel too "touristic" or staged. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Hmad is as authentic as it gets, and the places he took us to were far from the usual tourist circuits. Everything felt real, special, and truly unique—like we had been given the privilege of experiencing a different side of Morocco, one that many travelers never get to see.
And finally, I have to say something about the Berber culture and people: they are some of the warmest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. They make you feel at home instantly, and sharing even a small piece of their world was like stepping into a living history book.
Hmad crafted an incredible experience for us—he was there 24/7 with his extensive knowledge, his great humor, and his genuine passion for his culture. We didn’t just come back home with memories; we came back with a new friend and the desert forever in our hearts. I already know that one day, we’ll be back to see him and the desert again. Gracias amigo!
翻译:我去过很多地方,去过很多国家、很多大洲,但和 Hmad 一起在梅尔祖卡沙漠的经历是我一生中最精彩的时光之一。我之前在摩洛哥也去过沙漠,我觉得再好不过了。但我错了。
从我们遇到 Hmad 的那一刻起,他就让我们感到很舒服。我们开始旅行时已经筋疲力尽,但他立刻就明白了这一点——他给我们留出空间,让我们休息,并且没有强迫我们交谈。当我们感觉更舒服时,我们意识到他是一位多么了不起的导游(和人)。他对摩洛哥文化,尤其是阿马齐格(柏柏尔)文化遗产的了解确实令人着迷。他回答了我们所有的问题,并描绘了一幅丰富而经常被忽视的关于这些人及其历史的画面。你可以看出他内心是个游牧民族——他对道路了如指掌。
在 Hmad 的带领下,驾车穿越 1000 座卡斯巴之路是一次令人难以置信的经历。他带我们去了最好的景点,向我们讲解了关于风景、历史和人民的一切。他甚至演奏了很多柏柏尔音乐,我们非常喜欢,甚至把它带回了西班牙!
他为我们选择的住宿非常完美,尤其是在梅尔祖卡沙漠。每个地方都让人感觉真实而热情,就像我们在路上遇到的人一样。和他一起度过了四天后,我们真的觉得我们交了一个好朋友,道别时出乎意料地感人。
起初,我认为聘请司机可能会让这次体验感觉太“旅游化”或做作。我大错特错。Hmad 非常真实,他带我们去的地方远离通常的旅游路线。一切都感觉真实、特别、真正独特——就像我们有幸体验了摩洛哥的另一面,这是许多旅行者永远看不到的。
最后,我必须谈谈柏柏尔文化和人民:他们是我见过的最热情、最热情的人。他们让你立刻有宾至如归的感觉,即使只是分享他们世界的一小部分,也像是走进了一本活生生的历史书。
Hmad 为我们创造了一次难以置信的体验——他 24/7 都在那里,知识渊博,幽默风趣,对他的文化充满热情。我们不只是带着回忆回家,我们带着新朋友和永远铭记在心的沙漠回来了。我已经知道,有一天,我们会回来再见他和沙漠。谢谢朋友!
