Tour in the desert - This experience was magnificent! Hassan was always available for any clarification and once we arrived in the desert we found Youssef who was the best travel companion we could have! After the camel ride we arrived at the tented camp, the spaces are really large! The dinner was exquisite, under the stars and then continued with a Berber music show, and then ended up contemplating the magic that only the desert sky at night can give you! I recommend to everyone this unforgettable experience with this fantastic team! Thank you so much!

Tour in the desert - For our desert tour we got in touch with this agency and had the company of Mohamad ait haddou. It was a beautiful discovery. Thanks to his professionalism but also to his culture we spent three unforgettable days along the desert roads, learning the fascinating history of these places thanks to his stories and fully immersing ourselves in the Moroccan tradition thanks to his knowledge of the place. It was really very nice, thank you for these wonderful moments!! Highly recommended.

Beautiful tour with Zakaria, even in authentic Morocco - Beautiful tour with Zakaria who was a great company in the many hours of driving, with playlists of local music and telling us so many things about Moroccan culture. We visited, in addition to what was indicated in the tour, also authentic and non-tourist places such as the Rissani market.
