“Great excursions around Ouarzazate - We left for Ouarzazate as a family by just booking the plane and the hotel. 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. 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. I recommend this travel agency! We are delighted with our week, we will be back with great pleasure:) Thank you to the whole team!” - Reviewed on 2025-03-04
