Well-organized, fun tour!
Our group of 5 had a wonderful, comfortable 7-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga and back. From the time our driver/guide, Mohamed, picked us up, to the final day, everything was seamless, and well-organized, and interesting.
Mohamed responded to all of our many questions and was willing to stop whenever we saw something attractive we needed to explore, we finished up going for some extra walks, watching a local soccer game, and seeing many views!
The accommodations were all beautiful, the food was good, and the camel ride into the Merzouga dunes was exceptional. Definitely recommended!
