Testimonials

Amazing 5 day tour! The route from Fes to Marrakech took us through some of the most stunning landscapes in Morocco. The stay at the desert camp was amazing, with a camel ride at sunset and a magical night with Berber music under the stars. We also really enjoyed the visits to the kasbahs and the Dades gorges. Having 5 days allowed us to explore thoroughly without rushing, which made the trip relaxing and well spent. Everything was perfectly organized. I definitely recommend it.

A unique 5-day experience from Fes to Marrakech. This tour was a fantastic way to discover the beauty of Morocco. Every day was full of surprises, from the cedar forest and monkeys in Ifrane to the stunning Todra Gorges. The highlight was undoubtedly the Merzouga desert, where we spent an unforgettable night under the stars. The guide was very friendly and gave us fascinating information about the Berber culture. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in authentic Morocco.

A highlight of the tour is the Merzouga desert experience. We highly suggest allocating extra time here to fully immerse yourself in activities like camel trekking, sandboarding, and visiting local Berber villages.
