Trip to the desert
I traveled to the Merzouga desert with my teenage daughter in a group of ten individuals for 5 days tour from Fes to Marrakech. It’s been an unforgettable experience. The treatment, attention, and service provided by both the guides and the trip organizers have been superb. The camp was a complete surprise, with everything in excellent condition and cleanliness. The delicious food and the celebration at night around the fire with the Berbers playing the drums were fantastic. We will undoubtedly return, but this time for a longer stay in the desert to appreciate the wonders of the dunes
