Our 2-day trip from Fes to Merzouga with Mohamed was absolutely unforgettable. From the start, he made us feel safe and comfortable during the long drive. He was knowledgeable about every place we passed, from the Middle Atlas villages to the stunning Ziz Valley. The camel trek into Erg Chebbi dunes at sunset was magical, and Mohamed ensured we had plenty of time for photos. The desert camp was cozy and welcoming, with delicious food and Berber music by the fire. Mohamed’s professionalism, kindness, and humor made the journey smooth. Highly recommended!
Traveling with Yassin on the 2-day Fes to Merzouga tour was an incredible experience. Despite the long drive, Yassin kept us entertained with his stories and knowledge about Moroccan culture. He arranged everything perfectly, from the comfortable breaks along the way to the camel trek at Erg Chebbi. Watching the sunset over the dunes was a dream come true, and the desert camp exceeded expectations with excellent hospitality. Yassin made sure everyone felt cared for, and his friendly personality created a fun and relaxed atmosphere. This short trip will stay memorable forever.
