Amazing 15 days tour from Casablanca We booked the 15 day Morocco tour, and it was exactly the experience we were hoping for. We got to see a lot of the country crossing the Atlas Mountains, seeing a lot of the Berber culture. Our guide was very well informed about each of the stops we made and gave us multiple options for stopping points allowing us to spend more time where we were interested and skip other stops.
Morocco 15 days Sahara and Beyond This is about the 15 day tour which included the day trip to the desert camp. (The site didn't recognize the trip) This tour covers just under 3000 Kms around Morocco and looks at all aspects of Moroccan life. From Casablanca finishing at Marrakech it was a most wonderful experience. The Morocco tours philosophy of getting people to get to know a country as well as see it was very special and presented some very unique experiences ranging from a meal with a local family in the country to visiting a children's refuge type place were experiences one would struggle to do when traveling solo. Helped by the most fantastic guide we have ever experienced, Noureddine, I cannot rate this professional guide highly enough. The tour was not too strenuous (we are in our late 60s) And would recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a unique and safe Middle East country.
We are a team of passionate travelers who have fallen in love with the enchanting beauty and rich culture of Morocco.
