Unforgettable journey:
My girlfriend and I took the four-day desert tour from Marrakech. Everything was perfect; the driver stopped every time we wanted to take a picture of a view, and the Riads we stayed in were excellent. The night we spent in the desert was unforgettable, as it provided us with a spectacular view of the starry sky. Many thanks to Youssef, who organized everything perfectly and was available even before we left.

Merzouga in 4 days and 3 nights
We had a fantastic time! First and foremost, you can exchange whatsapp messages and clear any potential concerns before departing. The car we used was brand new and extremely comfortable. We had a fantastic driver (Yassin) at our disposal for four days. Excellent lodging (auberge Panorama in Dades, Riad Bouchedor in Ouarzazate, and a beautiful luxury tent at Luxury Desert Camp Nomade Life). Everyone treated us and my children with respect and competence.
And the prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended.

4 days tour from Marrakech to Merzouga:
Following a two-day visit to Marrakech, we were joined by Aziz of the Traveling Morocco agency, with whom we began a wonderful four-day tour of the Merzouga desert, the valleys of Dra and Dades, and the Todra Gorge.
Everything was perfect... thanks to Aziz, who made us feel safe and accompanied us on our tour of this wonderful country.

The four days spent with Hassan had been amazing! The plan began in Fez, and he drove us all around Morocco in his 4x4 while passing the Middle Atlas Mountains until we were in the desert, which he loves and made us really enjoy. We spent our first night at a fantasy hotel with a front-row seat to the dunes! Hassan gave us a complete immersion in the desert, taking us to nomadic communities and feeding us local fare (we will never forget the Berber pizza). When we finally made it to their haimas, I was still overcome by the tranquility that the location exuded. Just picture the sunset there; it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The accommodations at the Haimas were excellent, we didn't miss a thing, and the cherry on top was a performance including regional drumming. Impressive! After those two amazing days, Hassan drove us about in his 4x4 till we reached Marrakech, showing us everything of Morocco. All of this, along with some fantastic tunes from Euskadi that we recorded, served to spice up the journeys.
Amazing experience that I will definitely have again!
Greetings, Hassan!
