6 Day Private Tour: Marrakech to Tangier (via Merzouga Desert)
My group of friends consisted of two girls and two boys. Said was very easy to correlate with which made all the distinctions when customizing the tour. We were quickly able to tailor the tour to exactly what we wanted! We were also extremely lucky to have Ali as our guide throughout the 6-day desert tour.
Our tour started in Marrakesh and finished in Marrakech. On the way, we stopped in Dades Valley for one night, the Sahara desert for two nights in Merzouga, Fes for one night, and Chefchauen for one night.
Although there was a lot of driving over the 6 days, the driver made it very enjoyable with his hilarious jokes and great music. He also allowed us to stop off at impressive viewpoints along the way to have a pause and take photos...[Continued]
6 Day Private Tour: Marrakech to Tangier (via Merzouga Desert)
They organized tour guides for major sites, for example, in Fez. Personally, I would not recommend touring Fez without a guide. He also organized a camel ride into the Sahara desert - an unimaginable experience! And this was our highlight of the whole trip.
All of the hotels were perfect for our group of 4 and all provided us with amazing breakfast spreads each morning.
In brief, I couldn’t recommend this tour agency enough! My friends and I had such a memorable week, all thanks to our great friend.
