On site, we were lucky enough to meet Allal, who designed with us a day trip program around Ouarzazate. Excursion 1: Ouarzazate - Skoura - Valley of Roses - Dades Gorge. Excursion 2: Ouarzazate - Cinema Studios - Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou - Ulina Valley - Titi-N’Tichka. Excursion 3: Ouarzazate - Drâa Valley - Zagora - Tinfu Dunes (with camel ride). Excursion 4 surprise of 1/2 day: Oasis of Fint. We came across a great Guide/Driver pair with Abdul/Yassin, who introduced us to their region, decorating the excursions with less used tracks and stops in villages. At our request, we were also able to walk each time. We were also able to make as many stops as desired to admire the landscape. Beyond the excursions, we had the opportunity to meet Allal several times during our stay for a chat or a mint tea, making the experience pleasant and friendly. I recommend this travel agency! We are delighted with our week, we will be back with great pleasure:) Thank you to the whole team!”
