The 3-day trip from Ouarzazate to Fes with Moroccan Trip exceeded all my expectations. The journey through the High Atlas Mountains, ancient kasbahs, and Berber villages was absolutely stunning. Riding camels over the Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset and staying in a desert camp beneath the stars was magical. Traveling to Fes allowed me to get lost in the medieval streets and vibrant souks, experiencing Morocco’s culture firsthand.
