Great 5 Days Desert Tour from Marrakech From the beginning, communication with Said was always very agile and informative. We hired the services and it was a great 5 days with our guide/driver Ahmed. Always very humorous and friendly, he showed us all the interesting places. The night in the desert was wonderful, including the campfire with Sahara Camp staff playing traditional Berber music. Everyone at Morocco Packages Holidays was very attentive and helpful. Super recommend !!
5 days tour Marrakech-Merzouga- excellent experience We had a wonderful trip to Morocco, the highlight of which was the journey through the frozen Atlas mountain range and overnight at a Berber camp in the Sahara desert. Having been guided and accompanied by Omar was fundamental for me and my daughter to feel totally calm and to make the most of our incredible foray into the beautiful landscape, culture, and Moroccan hospitality. Thank you, Omar!!
Best experience I ever had! All the scheduling and planning were done by email and WhatsApp, and Said answered us very quickly and took all my doubts. We waived the camel tour and arrived at the desert camp by car, and it was very quiet. The van that we did the whole tour accommodated 6 people comfortably, and the driver Youssef was very friendly and helpful throughout the journey. We recommend this tour!
We are a team of passionate travelers who have fallen in love with the enchanting beauty and rich culture of Morocco.
