REVIEWS

We had an unforgettable experience with Mohamed, our guide, and Mustafa, our driver. From the moment we first met them at Fes airport, they treated us with the best hospitality. We enjoyed an amazing adventure with them, from the green mountains to the Merzouga desert, where we had a camel ride experience and witnessed the enchanting sunset. In addition to two nights in the desert camp, which were incredible, we enjoyed the tranquility and shared conversations with people from different countries, exchanging cultures and experiences. During this trip, we also learned that happiness is not limited to material things, but can come from simple things. This is what we discovered from the Berbers living in the desert with a simple yet meaningful way of life. I would like to thank Mohamed, Mustafa, and Exploring Morocco Trips for this wonderful journey that left us with unforgettable memories.

Our 4-day Fes to Marrakech Sahara tour was amazing, especially after meeting our driver Hassan, who was also a friend to us. We learned a lot on this trip and had the best desert experience with him from start to finish. On this trip, we discovered the desert, rode camels, and visited Hassan's family from Merzouga at Tanamost. Truly, Morocco is the best place anyone can visit, as you are welcomed everywhere as if you were part of their family, and that’s how we felt. Thank you, Hassan, thank you, Exploring Morocco Trips, and thank you, Morocco.

The first thing I would like to say is that I highly recommend Exploring Morocco Trips if you want to visit Morocco, because I personally booked with them and had the best experience with them. Our tour started at Fes airport and ended at Marrakech airport. Our trip lasted 4 days, during which we visited many wonderful places like Ifrane, the long Ziz Valley, and the Merzouga Desert, which was magical in every sense of the word. We also visited Dades Valley and the Ait Benhaddou Kasbah. Then, we went to Marrakech. Our experience was excellent, and I highly recommend it to all travelers.
