What people love about Sahara Desert Tours from Casablanca
- Best of Morocco (36 destinations)
Loved Morocco! We explored Medinas in cities, saw Roman ruins, saw monkeys, rode camels in the desert, met Berber families, hiked canyons and in a beautiful national park. Every day was different scenery and a different adventure. Our guide Adil was absolutely wonderful! Just a wealth of information about his country and history. Our group consisted of people from all over the world and I think we will all remain friends. Highly recommend!
- 5 Day Tour from Casablanca to Marrakech via Fes & the Sahara Desert
With its rich cultures, heritage, and diversity; one would think that it would be impossible to grasp all these places at once. But with Morocco Tours, I can't believe we were able to squeeze all of the places that we were interested in seeing in one well-organized and unrushed itinerary. I personally thank Anwar for being so kind during the whole trip and trying his best to make us feel at ease. He and all the Moroccans we come across. Also for making each conversation interesting as we learned a lot from him. Can't wait for when I do it again, but this time choosing a whole different tour to explore the rest of Morocco.
- 6 Days Tour from Casablanca to Marrakech via Fes & Desert
I booked for my parents and had a problem with the dates. The staff were super helpful solving it! Anir was excelent the whole time. Morroco is an amazing place and so is its people. I highly recommend the trip, specially with Marrakesh Tours!
