The 5-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour was one of the most incredible experiences of my life. We met many friendly people, and our guide, Mustapha, was excellent! He showed us the beauty of Morocco, and everywhere we went, there was something beautiful to see. However, 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.
