Recommendations:
If it were possible, I would give this tour a 10-star rating! Our journey from Marrakech to Fes was delightful, spanning three days. The team was incredibly welcoming and supportive. Our driver and guide, who coincidentally share the name Ali, entertained us with fascinating tales and customs during the drive and ensured our well-being. The meals were exquisite and sophisticated, and we had a lovely romantic dinner beneath the Milky Way in the desert. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone!
I highly recommend the 3-day desert tour from Marrakech to Fes that my friend and I took. It was an excellent experience! Booking the tour was a breeze, and our guide Aziz was superb. He was extremely knowledgeable, spoke great English, and was a lot of fun. We enjoyed learning about his Berber family and Morocco in general. The trip involves a lot of driving, but we were able to see everything we wanted to in the area, which would not have been possible otherwise. If you can afford it, I suggest opting for the luxury version. Our desert experience was unforgettable, and we had a blast with the camp crew!
