We had the most incredible time on this 5-day adventure. The landscapes changed every day from snowy mountain peaks to red canyons and golden sand dunes. The camel trek in Merzouga was the highlight, followed by a delicious dinner and Berber music by the fire. The hotels and riads were lovely, and we always felt safe and cared for. Truly an unforgettable trip!
