An unforgettable experience in Morocco! - Our stay in Morocco was exceptional thanks to Morocco Happiness Tours and our driver guide Hicham. We discovered beautiful places — from the Ourika Valley to vibrant Marrakech, to a magical night in the desert. Everything was perfect! Hicham is an attentive guide, friendly and always smiling. He knew how to make every moment unique. We highly recommend Morocco Happiness Tours to discover all the beauty and wealth of Morocco.

Marrakech to Zagora Tour - Marrakech Desert Tour 2 Days - This two-day tour from Marrakech to the Zagora Desert offers an unforgettable adventure! From beginning to end, the organization was impeccable, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. The drive through the breathtaking Atlas Mountains featured stops at historical landmarks such as Ait Ben Haddou and the Kasbah of Taourirt, enriching the journey with cultural insights. The standout moment was undoubtedly the camel ride at sunset, followed by an overnight stay in a traditional Berber desert camp. The hospitality was exceptional, and dining on an authentic Moroccan meal beneath the starry sky added a touch of magic to the experience. Our private driver was both professional and knowledgeable, contributing to a seamless and enlightening trip. If you seek a brief yet immersive desert experience from Marrakech, this tour is truly worthwhile! Highly recommended.

Wonderfull experience - The outstanding service and gracious welcome I received were major contributors to my amazing vacation. My driver, Hicham , was outstanding; he was kind, professional, and very attentive, making me feel at home and well-cared for from beginning to end. Hicham went above and above to make sure you were comfortable, something you don't frequently see. The lodging was excellent as well; it was cozy and well-furnished, making it the ideal starting place for exploring the neighborhood. The trip's culinary highlights were the delectable, locally inspired meals that gave me a true experience of the area. However, the desert celebration stands out as one of the most unforgettable events.

Nice little stay! - Nice little stay. Beautiful landscape. On the other hand in the camp tent no electricity at sunrise. We had to get dressed and impossible to wash while we took the luxury.

Good for short and low budget travel - Visits are timed and you can't explore the sites as you please. Visits are made very quickly, they last between 10 minutes and 1 hour. For the camel excursion, from a parking lot in Zagora to the camp, 4 camels were missing when all the groups met. We are 4 people who could not make the trip in the desert at sunset. We drove straight to the camp. They made us walk in the desert about 500 meters from the camp to join the small group of people in camel and asked 4 people to finish their way on foot so that we could take their camel... The beds are very comfortable, but little hot water for the shower. The meals are typical Moroccan buffets.
