From Marrakesh to the desert, 3 days and 2 nights, one of them in the desert with all the expected attractions, a spetacular sun set and a super nice “crew” for dinner and music! The previous nighto we spent in an oasis on a cute and super nice hotel owned by Belgium/French couple in Skoura. Abdul was the nicest driver/guide we ever had, good mood, good with out teenager son and super informed about local culture history and attractions.

I was traveling with my husband and teenage son and Ali made the trip so exciting and informative. My son especially enjoyed his time in the desert sand boarding and rug boarding. We enjoyed ourselves so much at sunset we also added on the sunrise camel trip last minute without any issues to accommodate our request. If you are looking for honest, safe, know ledgable guides…this is your company to go to!

Morocco travel FAQ
Short answers to the questions travelers ask us most before booking a private Morocco tour.
What is Morocco famous for?
Morocco is known for its medinas and souks, its Islamic and Berber architecture, its food, and its landscapes: the Atlas Mountains, the Sahara dunes at Merzouga and Erg Chigaga, and a long Atlantic and Mediterranean coast.
What should I not miss in Morocco?
The medinas of Marrakech and Fes, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, a night in the Sahara at Merzouga or Erg Chigaga, and the seaside town of Essaouira.
Is Morocco friendly to tourists?
Yes. Tourism is a large part of the economy and hospitality is part of daily life. Most visitors find people welcoming and happy to explain their customs, especially on a private tour with a local guide who speaks your language.
How many days in Morocco is enough?
Seven to ten days lets you combine an imperial city, the Atlas Mountains and two nights in the Sahara without rushing. Three to four days is enough for a desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga and back.
What are the best cities to visit in Morocco?
Marrakech, Fes, Casablanca, Rabat, Tangier, Chefchaouen and Essaouira. Each has a different character; which ones fit your trip depends on your dates and where you fly in and out.
Which are the most beautiful places in Morocco?
Chefchaouen, the blue town in the Rif Mountains; the dunes at Merzouga and Erg Chigaga; the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou near Ouarzazate; the Dades and Todra gorges; and the coast around Essaouira and Taghazout.
