On the first day of your 3 days Fes to Marrakech desert tour, we will pick you up from your riad in a comfortable air-conditioned car and set off for a 3-day mind-blowing desert tour of Morocco. Our journey starts with a scenic road trip from Fes to Merzouga. It is a drive that offers breathtaking mountainous landscapes, and contact with several small towns, small kasbahs, ancient ruins, and Berber villages, among other fascinating attractions. Our first stop will be the town of Ifrane. This small town is commonly known as the ‘Switzerland of Morocco” due to its incredibly clean environment. We will explore the old and modern town of Ifrane before resuming our drive toward Azrou. Along the way, we will see more Moroccan villages, small Kasbahs, and beautiful mountainous landscapes. At Azrou, we will tour the cedar forest that is popularly known for its amiable monkey troops. You will enjoy playing with the monkeys and feeding them before heading on another thrilling road drive to the town of Midelt. We will stop for lunch in the small town of Midelt before driving on to Merzouga. Upon arriving at Merzouga, you will be in for one of the best desert camel rides in Morocco. You will be climbing giant dunes, enjoying a beautiful sunset over them, and experiencing the unique silence of the desert at night. You will then spend the night at a traditional Berber nomad camp, enjoying classical Berber music with dancing around the campfire before going to sleep.

In the morning you can experience the magical sunrise on top of the dunes in the Sahara. Our tour guide will wake you up early to ensure that you don’t miss this desert sunrise.

An Outstanding Cultural Tour I just completed a multiday tour with Hassan from Best Morocco Travel as my guide. Safely driving his comfortable vehicle while playing wonderful Moroccan music on his sound system, Hassan took me to many memorable destinations. He knows his country. He’s a bright young man with plenty of energy. His English language skills are impressive. If you’re fortunate to have Hassan as your guide, he will take great care of you. Hassan is THE guide to have when visiting Morocco. I recommend him without hesitation.

Enjoyable trip The week in Morocco was very interesting and special. We not only enjoyed the local scenery, but also the considerate service. Hassan arranged the accommodation for us with local characteristics, and provided us with small gifts and local delicacies during the trip. All our requirements were well met by him and it was a very memorable and enjoyable trip.

Good memories 我参加了七天的摩洛哥之旅,想要提醒的是 要是想更深度游玩摩洛哥可以再久一点,可以八到十天,因为景点很分散,坐车的时常比较久。卡萨和马拉喀什值得好好玩,当然撒哈拉沙漠很壮观,很特别。导游Hassan是很贴心很友好的人,推荐给大家!而且可以根据大家的喜好进行调整行程,还有接机送机时的小礼物都让我感觉很幸福。It is hard to score the trip, because we and guide are not only like the business, We are like friends, like having fun with a Morocco local friend who will help you arrange all things well. And the accommodations he booked for us are nice. Also eating the traditional food of Morocco. Highly recommended!Thank you for taking me to see Morocco.
