I had an amazing time on this tour from Marrakech! The guide was very friendly and knew a lot about the places we visited. The High Atlas Mountains were beautiful, and the visit to Ait Benhaddou was like stepping back in time. The camel ride in the desert was my favorite part. Riding a camel and watching the sunset over the dunes was magical. The desert camp was very comfortable, and the Moroccan food was delicious. Sleeping under the stars was an experience I’ll never forget. Highly recommend this tour!
