Family Traveller

Our family of four had an amazing time on this private tour. The mix of cultural visits in cities like Meknes and Marrakech, and adventures in the desert, kept everyone happy — even the teens! The riads were beautiful, the food was fresh and delicious, and the pace of the trip was just right. The guides were patient and flexible, which made traveling with kids so much easier.

Solo Traveller

This 9-day journey was unforgettable. I traveled solo, and the team made me feel completely at ease. The highlight was riding a camel into the dunes of Merzouga and watching the stars at night — a million times better than any photo. Visiting the imperial cities with a knowledgeable guide helped me truly appreciate Morocco’s rich history. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see the country in depth.

We booked the 9-day private tour from Casablanca, and it was worth every moment. From exploring the vibrant streets of Fes and Marrakech to the peaceful beauty of the Sahara, everything was perfectly planned. Our driver, Youssef, was not only professional but also shared so much about Moroccan history and culture. The desert camp was magical — luxury tents, amazing food, and the most stunning sunrise I’ve ever seen!
