This was the most amazing experience! Our guide Yakoube and driver Ibrahim were extremely friendly and kind. We got to see and do so much and learn a lot about Morocco and Berber culture. As well, the accommodation and food were amazing. Definitely include this tour in your trip if you can.
We were blown away by the quality of the Morocco Packages Holidays trip and had the time of our lives!! Our guide Yakoube and driver Ibrahim were wonderful hosts and showed us the very best of Morocco. We will never forget our stay in the desert - it felt like another world.
Unforgettable 3 day trip from Fez to Merzouga and Marrakech My sister and I did the 3-day Fes to Marrakech desert tour. This was hands down the best part of our stay in Morocco. Said was very responsive in the run-up to our trip and Ali, our driver was great. He was super friendly, flexible, and shared lots about life in the desert. The hotels were all great and the tent set-up in the desert was incredible. I would recommend a trip with Morocco Packages Holidays.
