An extraordinary experience

5.00The desert is truly magnificent, the activities on the road are interesting, but not all included in the base price. For me one of the most interesting things was meeting the other people in the group who all come from different countries. Bring warm clothing for the night in the desert where it can be very cold.
Great discovery Unforgettable

5.00Words won’t even begin to make sense of the experience I had. It was a life-changing experience for me and my family. Our driver Ibrahim did his best to guide us throughout our 6 night, 7 day excursion. Ibrahim was very attentive and made sure to show us all the beautiful places, take us to delicious restaurants to eat delicious food, clean and comfortable riads and more. We started our tour with Ibrahim who picked us up from Marrakech airport. Ibahim was very friendly and hospitable from the start of our tour. During his car journey to the various locations included in our tour, Ibrahim ensured that all of our needs were met and exceeded, including bathroom breaks, meal breaks, beautiful photo ops, shopping and sightseeing tourist. Our time in the desert was incredible. The host Mohammed in our luxury tents was the best. Everyone was very friendly and attentive. My family and I felt like we were staying with our own family because every time we met, we were greeted with such care, love and happiness. Ibrahim taught us some Arabic and Berber words which were very useful to know. I recommend this tour to anyone who is planning to visit Morocco and wants to see several tourist sites. You will be pleasantly surprised and have a wonderful time. Ibrahim, my family and I send you a big thank you and we pray that we can return to Morocco in the future and see you again. Inshallah

5.00The Marrakech circuit in Merzouga was full of nice surprises, our teams Abdul and Brahim were very helpful and kind and always looking for our comfort, visits throughout the trip present urban and architectural. The big surprise was the hotel for the first night which had a panoramic view of the atlas mountains, and the second night it was like a dream that began with a camel ride to admire the sunset and will end with an evening around fire. I call on anyone visiting Morocco to have this experience
