Our Vision
SaharaPlace is a Moroccan-born travel platform designed to become the go-to site for booking hotels, riads, guesthouses, and experiences across Morocco and beyond — made entirely by Moroccans, for the world.
We aim to empower local developers, designers, businesses, and tourism professionals to take full control of their digital presence and compete globally with platforms like Booking.com and Airbnb.
