Casablanca/ Marrakech
I strongly suggest engaging in a once-in-a-lifetime experience with this company. The staff, including Ibrahim and Aziz, are amazing. They were very friendly and helpful in everything we needed. They truly made us feel at home. I traveled with my parents and sister, and they were all beyond grateful for the whole trip. We took a 6 day trip from Casablanca to Rabat, Fes, and Chefchaouen; 2 days in the Sahara desert; the Todra Gorges; the Atlas mountains; and Marrakech.
The desert camel trek was worth it—one of my favorite memories! The guide always accompanied us, ensuring our safety. Arriving at the camp in the desert is amazing. The camp is luxurious and has everything you need. We heard Berber music and had Moroccan food at the camp.
We had a wonderful time sandboarding and dancing on the dunes. The trip to the Sahara Desert was the highlight.
The hotels we stayed in throughout the entire trip were excellent, clean, in convenient locations, with friendly staff, delicious food, and a relaxing atmosphere.
I depart from Morocco with a profound sense of attachment to this country, a sentiment I can only attribute to the exceptional guidance of Ibrahim and Aziz. I will never forget this trip and wish I could come back soon with my husband and sons.
My wife and I had the best experience with them. Ibrahim meticulously crafted a 6 days itinerary that met all our requirements. We departed from the Marrakech airport, where our driver and guide, Hassan and Ayoub, guided us to the Atlas Mountains, Dades Valley, the Sahara Desert, Berber village, and Fez, before concluding our journey in Chefchaouen. Everything was perfect, and we had the best time! We really recommend this company.
