We had an amazing and unforgettable experience during the 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour with accurate itinerary representation from the website. We met the local people they met in various regions to be extremely welcoming and not pushy. The accommodations provided were beyond expectations with beautiful hotels and desert tents and delicious cuisine. The driver, Ibrahim, was exceptional with excellent English and a great sense of humor, and his driving skills were second to none. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure, especially if Ibrahim is your driver.
Bes desert tour and Activities
- Sarah L
- Amsterdam, NL
The 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes was an unforgettable experience for us. Despite the long drive to Merzouga, we were able to explore a significant portion of eastern Morocco in a short period. The sand dune activities were absolutely worth it and left us in awe. We highly recommend upgrading to the ATV tour for a more immersive experience in the dunes. Most of the people on our tour regretted not opting for this additional activity.
