Unforgettable 4 day trip from Fez to Merzouga My sister and I did the 4-day desert tour from Fes Merzouga to Marrakech. 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.
Fes to Marrakesh - amazing trip My boyfriend and I took the 4 days trip from Fes to Marrakesh. We booked the group tour but ended up just the two of us with our awesome guide and driver. The journey was fabulous. The sceneries were magnificent and the activities were great. From nourishing the monkeys to riding dromedaries and walking through the Dades valley, everything was perfect. Thank you so much Said and Mohamed for those imperishable memories!
