What a wonderful encounter! Every moment was full of adventure and breathtaking beauty, from Fes to Marrakech. The dinner was excellent, the camp in the desert was tidy and cozy, and the night was enhanced by the Berber music played around the fire. I will always remember seeing the sunrise over the dunes. An essential excursion for any traveler to Morocco!

The best part of our trip to Morocco was this brief excursion into the desert. The camel ride across the Erg Chebbi dunes was the highlight of the excursion from Fes to Merzouga, which was filled with amazing views. Our driver always had time for pictures and made sure we were comfortable. Warm, friendly, and ideally situated, the desert camp surpassed our expectations. Completely worthwhile!

The two-day desert trip from Fes to Marrakech will never be forgotten! Seeing the Barbary monkeys close to Azrou was a true delight, and the trip over the Atlas Mountains was breathtaking. Spending the night in the desert tent beneath a starry sky was pure delight, and the camel ride at sunset in Merzouga was just beautiful. Our guide was amiable and informed, and everything was well-organized. I heartily suggest this excursion!
