This 8-day Imperial Cities & Sahara Tour was the highlight of our Morocco trip! From the moment we landed in Casablanca, our driver made us feel welcome and safe. The local guides in Fes and Marrakech were incredibly knowledgeable, and the desert night in Merzouga was simply magical. Riding camels at sunset, listening to Berber music under the stars… it felt like a dream. The accommodations were comfortable and authentic, and the whole itinerary was perfectly balanced between culture, nature, and relaxation.

Traveling with kids can be tricky, but this tour made it easy and enjoyable for all of us. Our driver was patient, kind, and great with the children. We loved the mix of historical cities like Rabat and Fes with adventurous experiences like camel trekking and sandboarding in the Sahara. The luxury desert camp was comfortable even for the kids, and the food was delicious everywhere we went. A perfect family adventure!

Solo Traveller

I booked this tour to experience as much of Morocco as possible in one trip, and it exceeded my expectations. Chefchaouen’s blue streets were stunning, Volubilis was fascinating, and the Sahara Desert experience was unforgettable. The organization was excellent — I never had to worry about transport or accommodations. As a solo traveler, I really appreciated how friendly and accommodating the team was.
