We booked an 8-day tour from Marrakech, and we really enjoyed it. We opted for an independent DIY desert trip and embarked on a camel ride into the desert. It was a great experience and well-managed. The services between Marrakech and the Merzouga desert were top-notch. We also decided to include Casablanca for one day, and it was amazing. We highly recommend this travel agency in Morocco for Moroccan tours.
