1 review for 4 days from Marrakech to Fes via Merzouga desert

  1. Neal McGeeh

    We are a couple with a 13 year old child and we spent 4 magical days in the South of Morocco thanks to Abdou, our guide and driver.
    Abdou is great as a guide: he speaks good English, offers various tours along the way and adapts to our desires. He knows the culture and history of his country very well, and of the different provinces that we crossed. He is also an excellent driver with whom you feel safe.
    We were thus able to discover incredible landscapes: the Atlas Mountains, the Dades Valley, the Valley of Roses and the Todra Gorges, with numerous stops for visits to kasbahs, viewpoints, walks in gardens hidden, The highlight being the camel ride and the bivouac in the Sahara desert (Erg Chebbi) in Merzouga: an unforgettable memory like these sunsets and sunrises over the dunes, as well as the songs around the fire.
    From a practical point of view, the accommodation and meals provided were very good, and the air-conditioned minivan very comfortable.
    We highly recommend GO MARRAKECH DESERT TRIPS and ABDOU for your excursions in Morocco.
