Great tour from Marrakech to Fes through the Atlas Mountains and Sahara
Desert Merzouga Tours recently took us on a four-day journey from Marrakech to Fes via the Merzouga Sahara Desert, which was a wonderful experience. Mohamed, our driver, was exceptional—he was courteous, informed, and attentive throughout the trip. Our excursion brought us across the breathtaking Atlas Mountains, stopping at lovely Berber communities and old kasbahs. The highlight was landing at Merzouga for a magnificent sunset camel trek over the dunes, followed by an overnight stay in a typical Berber tent. We had excellent Moroccan cuisine, music around the campfire, and a fantastic night beneath the stars. We stopped by stunning canyons, palm oasis, and well-known destinations like as Ait Benhaddou and Ouarzazate. The vacation was well-planned, with every detail taken care of. I wholeheartedly suggest this vacation to anybody looking to see the charm of Morocco’s desert scenery and rich culture.
Desert Merzouga Tours provided me with a fantastic four-day journey from Marrakech to Fes! Our driver, Houssien, was not only a great professional but also an excellent guide, sharing his extensive knowledge of Moroccan history and culture. The most memorable experience was staying overnight in a Berber camp in the Merzouga Sahara Desert. From the camel ride to the stargazing, the experience was simply wonderful. The landscape throughout the journey was breathtaking, from the Atlas Mountains to the Todra Gorge. The rooms were pleasant, and the cuisine was great. I suggest this trip to anybody looking for a real Moroccan experience.
