Enchanting Desert Adventure with Xabbi Tours: A Journey to Remember - We had the pleasure of booking our one-night desert excursion with Xabbi Tours, and we couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience. Our journey began at our cozy riad, and from there, it was nothing short of fantastic!
Hicham, our dedicated driver and guide from Xabbi Tours, made this adventure truly unforgettable. Traveling in a comfortable 4X4 car, he skillfully led us through the mesmerizing Merzouga desert, ensuring we had the time of our lives.
From watching the enchanting sunset to witnessing the breathtaking sunrise, sandboarding down the dunes, revving up the excitement with quad biking, and indulging in the captivating rhythms of drums and dance after a delectable dinner in the heart of the desert – every moment felt like a cherished memory in the making.
One thing to note, however, is that the Merzouga desert, while incredibly beautiful, is quite compact, and you may occasionally catch glimpses or sounds of other camps. For those seeking more solitude and tranquility, we recommend considering a visit to the Zagora desert.
Once again, a heartfelt thank you to Hicham and Xabbi Tours for creating such an unforgettable desert experience for us. This journey will remain etched in our hearts forever.
