If you’re looking for an adventure in Morocco, this 4-day tour is a must! The tour took us to some of the most beautiful places in Morocco, including the spectacular Todra Gorges and the charming Berber villages along the way. The highlight was the Merzouga Desert, where we rode camels into the dunes and spent the night at a luxury desert camp. Mustapha, our professional guide, shared great insights about Moroccan culture and history. The accommodations were comfortable, and the food was delicious. I recommend the Morocco Agogo Tours agency.
