3 special days - I recommend this beautiful experience to everyone, it's a very touristy tour but it's absolutely worth it. The guides are very nice and kind, the lunches are a little expensive as they are tourist places but it's done. The sky in the desert repays the car hours.

Amazing trip, spectacular views & professional driver Ibrahim - The view throughout the journey was spectacular… from the city, you’ll pass by rural areas, snowy mountains, dry lands, desert etc. The landscape keeps on changing and surprise you! You need a powerbank ready as the phone dies out quickly from all the photo-capturing along the journey!

Very reasonable - It was good. We did a two-night, three-day tour at a reasonable price. He was gentle and kind :) Lunch was not included, but the food at the connected restaurant was delicious. The price was a bit high (100-120), but I think it was reasonable since it was a very cheap tour.

three days of magic... - we traveled 3 days before arriving in Merzouga... the first day we visited the kasbah of Ait Ben Haddou followed by a boy, the tourist guide Hamza who accompanied us all the time making the visit very pleasant and fun.. He told us a lot about the history of the place in a very professional way.. then on the second day we visited the Toudra gorges again with an equally professional guide.. and finally we arrived in Merzouga .. what can I say, an unforgettable experience.. the desert is magical.. a special thank you to the driver who accompanied us all the time and for satisfying our needs at all times.. but above all for giving me a million times the phone charger.. 🤣❤️ we can't wait to repeat!

Perfect arrangement in Morocco - We were satisfied with 3 DAYS From Marrakech. Mr.Ibrahim drove safely and responsibly. The tourist guide was kind and humorous. Now we have come back to Shanghai. Hope next time meet with Mr.Ibrahim again. We will recommend this nice trip to our friends who want to go to Morocco.

A wonderful experience - Ibrahim was a wonderful company during our three day tour. I was worried about the travel considering the distance to be covered was huge. However, Ibrahim was nothing but accommodating and professional. The drive was so smooth and he made sure we were comfortable.
