Great Way to Camel Ride the Sahara

We went on a special trip with Youssef driving us from Marrakech to Merzouga on a 5-day tour. Our main goal was to ride camels and spend a night camping in Berber tents. Youssef was a great guide, and we were very happy with the service we got - it was even better than we expected! We did a lot of cool things, like seeing interesting attractions, and the places we stayed and ate were good. The transport was really nice too, which made the trip even better.

Nice People and Good Quality Service

We had an amazing 5-day tour from Marrakech to Merzouga that was better than we expected. Our driver, Idir, was great and took us on a journey through Marrakech. He told us about Ait Benhaddou's Kasbah and shared other interesting things about the area. We went to Merzouga and saw the Dades Canyons, but the best part was the camel ride which was a dream come true. Touring In Morocco planned everything amazing and we got to see a lot while enjoying it all. We met lots of friendly people, especially the nomadic tribes and hotel staff. This trip was unforgettable and we'd love to book another with such great tour guides.

Our Trip with Aziz

We had an amazing time celebrating New Year's Eve in Morocco. We planned our trip in Marrakech and our relatives recommended it. Not to mention goinge to the Sahara Desert and got to ride camels, which was our dream. In fact, we were surprised to see many other travelers celebrating there too. Moreover, we stayed at a Berber camp where we enjoyed drumming and fireworks. If you visit Morocco during New Year's Eve, we suggest you go to the Merzouga Desert for an incredible experience.
