My awesome 3-day trip

My mother and I had the pleasure of spending three days in Morocco, and it was thanks to a friend's recommendation that we embarked on the 3-day Fes-to-Marrakech desert tour. When we perused the reviews of the agency, they were overwhelmingly positive, leaving us with no hesitation in booking our trip with them. To put it simply, the level of service we received exceeded all expectations. The support and assistance we encountered throughout our journey were truly exceptional. Hassan, our guide, was a wealth of knowledge, offering insightful explanations about Moroccan culture and traditions. Moreover, the accommodations in the Merzouga desert left us in awe. We wholeheartedly recommend this experience, and if you have the chance, do opt for Hassan as your guide – you won't be disappointed!

Merzouga is lovely!

In January 2019, my partner and I chose Touring Morocco for our journey to the Sahara desert. Their 3-day Fes to Marrakech itinerary captured our attention. Our guide, Mohamed, was a knowledgeable storyteller, enriching our experience. Our stay at Boumalne Dades in the exquisite Kasbah Didis hotel offered magnificent panoramic views. We're grateful to Touring Morocco and Mohamed for making our adventure memorable.
