Unforgettable Moroccan Trip with Mohamed
I recently took a fantastic 3 days desert tour from Fes to Merzouga with Desert Merzouga Tours. Our driver and guide, Mohamed, was a huge asset to the trip. His knowledge of the region was extensive, and he shared interesting details about the history, culture, and landscape throughout the journey. He was also very friendly and accommodating, ensuring everyone in the group felt comfortable and had a great time.
The itinerary was well-paced, offering a good mix of travel time, sightseeing stops, and relaxation. The camel trek into the Merzouga desert was a highlight, and spending the night in a traditional Berber camp under a blanket of stars was an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Desert Merzouga Tours for anyone looking for an authentic and enjoyable Morocco desert Sahara.
