    Our 3 days desert tour was spectacular. The activities were unforgettable. The sahara was sublime. Connecting it all was the stunning drive and our cheerful guide, Brahim. Interspersing person anecdotes, he taught us about Moroccan culture and history, and happily answered our questions as we drove from town to town and discovered this nice country. He also took special care to ensure we had everything we needed along the way, felt safe, and stayed dry and warm.

    My 3-day journey through Morocco was nothing short of extraordinary, largely thanks to our incredible guides, Younes. They were welcoming, energetic, and went above and beyond to ensure every guest felt included and immersed in the culture. The highlights for me were the sunset camel ride—which felt like something out of a dream—and the authentic desert camp party. Dancing and laughing with the guides under the stars turned a ‘tour’ into a genuine gathering of friends. If you are looking for an unforgettable adventure, I cannot recommend booking through this company!
