The itinerary was very complete, allowing us to discover wonders such as Ait Ben Haddou, the Todra Gorges, and the best: the Merzouga desert. Sleeping in the desert camp and watching the sunrise over the dunes was a dream come true. The guide was very friendly and always willing to answer our questions, which made the trip even more special. The entire team was very professional, making the tour comfortable and carefree. Without a doubt, an experience we recommend!

    The 7-day tour from Marrakech to the desert and Fes was extraordinary. Every day was a new adventure, from crossing the Atlas Mountains to exploring ancient kasbahs and the stunning landscapes of the Dades Valley. The Merzouga desert was the highlight: riding a camel at sunset and spending the night in a camp under the stars was a magical experience. The attention of the guide was impeccable, always attentive and very informative. The entire tour was perfectly organized, making it an unforgettable experience. I recommend this tour 100%!
