Tour Reviews

This 8-day tour from Casablanca is highly recommended! Our driver, Said, was very nice, always smiling, and made the trip memorable. We stayed in luxury tents, which were well worth the extra money. The camel ride was enjoyable, and the views of the desert were breathtaking. Throughout the day, we made numerous stops to use the restroom and stretch our legs. We also visited some beautiful villages, an oasis, and a gorge. It was a wise investment because it provided a pleasurable experience.
