The Sahara is lovely!

As a couple, we embarked on a journey to Morocco on the first of December 2019. My wife had always dreamt of visiting the Erg Chebbi desert and experiencing a night in the desert camp. After landing in Fes, we felt compelled to find a local travel agency to turn this dream into reality. With countless agencies to choose from, making a decision was not an easy task. After careful consideration, and after perusing numerous reviews from various companies, we stumbled upon a travel agency brimming with positive feedback, all led by local Berbers. This discovery led us to book a 3-day excursion from Fes to the captivating Merzouga desert. Our journey was made all the more remarkable with Ali Baba (as he's affectionately known) as our driver and guide. Ali's extensive knowledge of Berber culture and Moroccan traditions left us in awe. We are immensely grateful to Ali and Touring In Morocco for facilitating this enchanting and memorable trip.

Our Lovely Moroccan 3 days trip!

We really didn't expect that in only 3 days, we would have the chance to discover many interesting things in Morocco. Our 3-day trip started from Fes to the Merzouga Desert. What we loved was how our driver, Hassan, explained lots of things along the way, even while driving. When we arrived in the Merzouga Desert, they welcomed us and prepared very comfortable camels. Even more, the camel man was very professional, taking us pictures. When we arrived at the camp, it was very fancy, like a 5-star hotel with clean rooms, a hot shower, and so much more! We really also loved visiting the desert nomads and the mines of Kohl. As a suggestion, try the Berber pizza; it is very delicious and spicy. Thank you, Hassan, and the Touring in Morocco team for such a lovely trip. Highly recommended.

Lovely people and views!

We are a family of 8 members, and the Touring in Morocco travel agency took care of our transportation. The minibus was very comfortable and had AC. Also, we got Addi as a 3-day tour driver. In Merzouga, they made sure we all got a camel each to the camp. The camp was very clean and in the middle of the desert. In addition, Merzouga has a lot of interesting things to see, from nomads to traditional Touareg music. It is highly recommended if you are looking for transport from Fes to any other destination. Thanks to Touring in Morocco for this 3-day tour.
