What people love about Sahara Desert Tours from Casablanca
- 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!

When we started planning our holiday in Morocco, I sent inquires to 3 different agents. Hassan was the first to respond. Right from the first email he was always prompt, never made us wait for the answers. He was so smart he understood our expectations clearly. 3 women coming from 3 different cities in 2 different countries, traveling on a budget but asking for lovely accommodation...seemed like an impossible task but Hassan just said no worries. We had some concerns about our safety and he promised us a good driving guide and he delivered. We met Mohammed on our first day. Mohammed was punctual, took care of us, did his best to stop our stupid shopping sprees, took us to best local places... After a few days, we really felt like he was our brother who was helping us to navigate in Morocco. As a seasoned traveler I know anything can go wrong during an extensive trip. And this is when you see the difference between a good team and a bad team, many times the agent turns invisible once the package is sold and paid for. However Hassan is totally the opposite, he was always in touch with us, he was taking updates from Mohammed. And when we have had a few hickups, the response of Hassan & Mohammed were extraordinary, they acted immediately and solved all issues. Morocco is beautiful. So beautiful that one time is never enough. Go to Morocco with Explore Adventures Morocco. Belive me you won't regret.
