This tour exceeded our expectations! From the scenic landscapes to the cultural experiences, everything was perfect. We enjoyed meeting nomadic families, listening to Gnaoua music in Khamlia, and discovering the rich history of Rissani. The accommodations were excellent, with comfortable riads and a fantastic desert camp. The camel ride at sunset was magical, and the Berber drumming at night added a special touch. This is a must-do tour if you want to experience the real Morocco!

I had an incredible time on this 3-day Fes to Merzouga tour! The itinerary was well-planned, and our driver/guide was professional and knowledgeable about the region. The sandboarding activity was so much fun, and the desert camp was beyond expectations—cozy, clean, and beautifully decorated. Waking up to the sunrise over the dunes was an unforgettable moment. The journey back to Fes through the Ziz Valley and Cedar Forest was equally beautiful. It’s worth every penny!
