“An unforgettable experience! The journey from Fes to Merzouga was breathtaking, with stunning landscapes along the way. The highlight was definitely the camel ride at sunset and spending the night in the desert camp under a sky full of stars. Everything was well-organized, and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!”
This 2-day trip was amazing! Although the drive is long, the scenery is absolutely worth it. The stop at the Ziz Valley was a great addition to the journey. Riding camels in the dunes and sleeping in a traditional Berber camp was a unique and magical experience. Excellent service, delicious food, and great hospitality!
Perfect short desert tour! The transport was comfortable, and we had plenty of stops to enjoy the views and take pictures. The desert camp was beautiful, and the atmosphere was peaceful. Watching the sunrise over the dunes was a moment I’ll never forget. I wish I had stayed longer
