Adventure of a Lifetime
08-Feb-2024
This tour was an adventure of a lifetime! We started in Ouarzazate and traveled through some of Morocco's most stunning landscapes, including Skoura, Dades, Tinghir, and Erfoud. The highlight was definitely our camel trek into the Sahara desert, where we watched the sunset over the dunes and slept under the stars. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and our guide was fantastic. If you're looking for a unique and memorable experience, this tour is a must!

Incredible Diversity in Landscapes
18-Nov-2023
This tour was a feast for the senses, offering incredible diversity in landscapes and experiences. From the lush greenery of Skoura to the rugged beauty of Dades and Tinghir, each day brought something new and exciting. The highlight was, of course, our time in the Sahara desert, where we rode camels, explored the dunes, and stayed in a traditional desert camp. The entire experience was magical, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic Moroccan adventure. Thank you Ismail and Morocco Private Tours
