Testimonials

The 6-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga desert was absolutely spectacular. From day one, the organization was impeccable, and every place we visited left us speechless: the impressive Atlas Mountains, the historic kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou, the beautiful Dades and Todra gorges, all the way to the desert. The experience in Merzouga was unforgettable, with a camel ride at sunset and a magical night in the camp under the stars. The guide was friendly and very professional, always making sure everything was perfect. An amazing trip that I recommend to anyone who wants to explore the best of Morocco!

My wife and I took out 1 and a half year old son on this trip and it was amazing. He had fun, the people we met were all so kind and welcoming, and they provided a kids car seat for the long trips. The car rides have plenty of stops to take pictures so he did not get too restless. Also, my wife has a gluten allergy and everywhere we went people understood what that meant and we're accommodating. Our guide was Rashid and he was so fun! Good driver, helpful tour guide, great with our little one! The only thing I recommend is a longer trip. We did the 2-night option and it was all just very fast. 3 or 4 nights would give more time for rest and recreation.
