Wonderful experience a trip of a lifetime! Thanks Joseph and Mohamed! - There is one problem with this trip. That it ends! A truly magical full immersion in the gems of Marocco. From the guy that meets you in Marrakech, to the (extra careful) driver and Joseph, the amazing guy in the desert! The place for the night in the dades valley is stylish berber riad in the mountain, and the camp in the desert is straight from a fairy tail. The only drawback is that if you like nature you would like to enjoy an additional night in the desert. However if you are short on time this tour has everything you need, totally recommend it!

Morocco and Merzouga with Zakaria - A wonderful experience with Zakaria! He accompanied us throughout the trip, explaining everything about Moroccan culture, flavors and religion. He introduced us to corners of Morocco that we would never have visited otherwise, and was kind and attentive to our every need! Very nice, and great driver (he accompanied us for over 600km!)

Morocco 2025 - Beautiful tour with spectacular scenery. Definitely unique experience with rain in the desert. Our guide-driver Zakaria Ouaabi besides being very nice gave us a lot of explanations about local places and customs.
