Three of her daughters, Stella, Estere and Serene, even made an appearance in an adorable snap.
Hajjaj was clearly thrilled to have the opportunity, paying tribute to the Queen of Pop on his own Instagram account.
“Life can be sweet and sour and sometimes a surprise can happen that you never would think of and this was one of (those) moments; want to thank Madonna and her lovely family and being patient for the shoot at my riad,” he wrote.
Meanwhile Madonna described her Morocco experience as the “most memorable and magical birthday week”.
What a way to celebrate the milestone. Happy birthday, Madge!
