On their last trip to Morocco in the spring, my Mom and Aunt used authentic-morocco.com to plan the Sahara portion of their trip, and had wonderful things to say about the company. My recollection is that their 3 or 4 day excursion cost about $600 per person, but I could be wrong.
I don't know if the company is locally owned, but I know that they use local guides, drivers, etc. Frankly, my attitude is that all companies -- regardless of the country in which they're based -- can exploit workers. (Just look at Chinese-owned factories if you don't believe me. In many cases, it's the foreign clients that insist on better working conditions.)
