Early August, we thought it was going to be unbearably hot and well, it was hot but it was super fun! Those guys are the best! Really, lots of laughs, we learned a lot about their culture and customs, different from the rest of Morocco.
We were on a tight schedule and only spent three days, and coming from Marrakech (which is a long trip) we could only do the typical tour is everywhere. BUT! we were left with the immense desire to visit a nomadic family still in the desert and some other village.
Lhoussine, very kind, invited us to meet her family, her house and her daily life.
Spending the night in the desert was GREAT, and the sky was spectacular. A lot of calm after great moments.
THANK YOU BECAUSE YOU MADE IT UNFORGETTABLE. I WILL RECOMMEND YOU FOR PRICE-SUPER QUALITY.

Highlights overview
Ait Ben Haddou
Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah should be your first stop after arriving in Marrakech. The area where Berber Touareg used to trade and remain after leaving Tomboctou is one of Unesco’s World Heritage Sites.
Ouarzazate
Morocco’s southernmost region contains the city of Ouarzazate. It is a city with a thriving cultural heritage and creative legacy, and its name is derived from a Berber expression that means “without noise” or “without confusion.”
With a significant number of hotels, Ouarzazate is a great tourist destination in Morocco. There are roughly 38 thousand people living there. On their journey to the Sahara Desert, travellers frequently make it one of their favorite stops. The majority of them make this stop to resupply before continuing on to the Great Deserts.
Merzouga
The Sahara, one of Africa’s top natural wonders, is right in front of you, not just in a geography book. The horizon-extending yellow sand dunes and the desert’s white sun are now both visible. The scope is stunning, and the dunes appear to go on forever.
In the Sahara, only tours are allowed; independent travel is not permitted. The safety of tourists is the main reason for doing this. You will experience the authentic music and melodies of the Berbers, sample some of their traditional cuisine, and learn about their way of life on the tour.
