Reviews & Testimonials

The 4-day trip from Marrakech to Fes is a must-do in Morocco. If you only visit Casablanca, Fes, and Marrakech, you'll miss out on experiencing the real Morocco. The diversity of the landscapes in Morocco is unexpected, with incredible sand dunes and camel riding that feels like something out of National Geographic. The gorges, valleys, and everything else are brilliant. This tour was perfect.

The 4-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. We met so many friendly people, and our guide Mustapha was great! He showed us the beauty of Morocco. Everywhere we went, there was something beautiful to see, but the night we spent in the desert was beyond words. You have to experience it in person to truly understand the feeling. The company's service was perfect - they cared about their customers and always looked out for us.
