Our 4-day tour from Fes to Merzouga and back with Fahd was a journey we’ll cherish forever. From the moment he welcomed us, Fahd made sure every detail was perfect. His knowledge of Morocco’s history, culture, and hidden gems made the drive fascinating, and his friendly nature kept us comfortable throughout. The camel trek and desert camp were unforgettable highlights, but what truly stood out was Fahd’s warmth and hospitality. He always went the extra mile, stopping for amazing views and local experiences. Thanks to him, we felt like we had not just a guide but a true friend.
