10 days Trip Tangier to Erg Chebbi and Marrakech I traveled with a girlfriend of mine for 15 days in Morocco, starting in Tangier and ending in Marrakech. While we wanted to mainly backpack on our own through the Country, we were very happy to have made the decision to book a 10-day tour with Morocco Packages Holidays. Having made a lot of research, I found that the Morocco Packages Holidays was the most receptive to my emails. They required a 100Euro deposit through Paypal (Most companies in Morocco don't accept credit cards) and the transfer went without problem. Ahmed (our driver) picked us up promptly at 8:30 am in Marrakesh and made all the stops promised (and more) along the way. Because he is at our full disposition, we were able to ask him to make specific stops (such as stopping in a non-touristy supermarket to stock up on drinks, or stopping for a special picture, etc). Ahmed was very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. He answered all our questions and talked about his life, his childhood as well as Moroccan culture and history in general. Hassan, the camel man met us in the desert and took us in the desert. The camels were wonderful and the desert guides were very nice. We sand-surfed, had tea, dinner and they even played music for us. We proceeded to sleep under the stars in the middle of the desert (the tents were there, but the weather was nice and fresh, so we slept outside). We woke up before the sunrise and walked up the biggest dune to see the sunrise before returning to our hotel to get our bags and take a shower. All the meals included were great; and the ones that weren't included (lunches), we could ask our driver to stop somewhere else, if we didn't like what they had.
Best 10 days trip in Morocco My 15yr old son Josh & I traveled through Morocco with Said's Morocco Packages Holidays. He organized the trip around the things we wanted to see & do. I wanted to see Volubilis ( the ancient Roman ruins) & Ait Ben Haddou. Josh wanted to Quad bike through the desert ( which was the most amazing fun) and ride camels at sunset. So Said designed a tour that went for 10 days including Volubilis & Fes in the north of Morocco, down through the desert for a couple of days, then across to Marrakesch via the mountains. Nothing was too much trouble for Hassan or for our driver, Brahim. Brahim's philosophy is "take it easy. It's your holiday you do what you like". This trip was the best value for money of all the sights I checked out, being half the price of the well-known tour companies based in the U.K. & U.S.A. & Australia. Not only that but we were with a company that knew the "real Morocco". I highly recommend Morocco Packages Holidays.
Best 8 days Morocco Tour We just finished an 8-day tour with Hassan -Our Driver/guide- and have been 110% satisfied. Hassan’s in-depth knowledge of and passion for his country made Morocco come alive for us. From an impromptu stop for a visit with some nomads to a tea ceremony with the local imam to a camel ride in the Sahara to a wander through a Berber farmers market, Hassan led us to get a real sense of a beautiful country. With many, MANY thanks from the Luxes from Canada!!
We are a team of passionate travelers who have fallen in love with the enchanting beauty and rich culture of Morocco.
