EXCELLENT Based on 318 reviews Posted on Lance KVerified 9-day tour through Morocco We did a custom 9-day private tour starting in Marrakech, through Dades valley then the deserts near Merzouga, continuing to Fes, Chefchaouen, and ending in Rabat/Casablanca, with stops along the way. Highlight was camping in the Sahara desert -- riding camels through the sands to reach the campsite, feeling the soft orange sands run through your fingers, listening to the drums by the fire under the stars -- it was quite the sensory experience. Our guide/driver Hsaine / Hassan was punctual, professional, and knowledgeable in many subject matters, able to converse in multiple languages. Highly recommended.Posted on Maria Teresa LVerified Unforgettable 8 days starting from Marrakech, then several stops to Fez. Then Casablanca for the last day.

With him we were able to further customize the trip already set according to our wishes. Also thanks to the flexibility of the talented driver Brahim, who accompanied us throughout the tour.
