5 days tour Marrakech-Merzouga fantastic encounter
Our travel over the freezing Atlas mountain range and our overnight stay at a Berber tent in the Sahara desert were the highlights of our fantastic trip to Morocco.
It was essential for me and my daughter to be at ease and to fully enjoy our amazing journey through the stunning scenery, rich culture, and warm Moroccan hospitality that Omar led and accompanied us. I’m grateful, Omar!
Best experience I ever had!
We used WhatsApp and email for all of the scheduling and planning, and Said promptly addressed all of my questions and provided us with answers.
Opting for the car journey to the desert camp, we were treated to a serene and tranquil ride, bypassing the camel tour.
The van we used for the whole tour comfortably accommodated six people, and the driver, Youssef, was amiable and helpful throughout the journey.
We recommend this tour!
Great 5 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech
From the beginning, Mohamed’s communication was always really knowledgeable and handy.
We used the services, and we had a fantastic 5 days with Ahmed, our driver/guide.
He was always very humorous and friendly. He took us to all the noteworthy locations. The night in the desert was fantastic, especially the traditional Berber music played by Sahara Camp workers around the campfire.
Everyone at Morocco Day Tour was very attentive and helpful. Super recommend!!
