Desert travel Experience

We had a lovely time during our Morocco Desert trip from Marrakech to Merzouga. Our guide Moha was well-informed and really accommodating, making sure to answer all our questions, and getting us everything we needed. Accommodation and food were all wonderful, the time we spent in the desert was amazing. Sunset, sunrise, and the stars in the desert were the highlights of the trip. Couldn’t have hoped for a better tour.
