Customer Reviews
An Unforgettable 3 Days from Marrakech to Fes via Sahara Desert: Sahara Desert to Fes from Marrakech An incredible three-day trip over the Sahara Desert from Marrakech to Fes was organized by Morocco Travel 4x4. They were easy to work with, and their communication was both quick and honest. Thanks to his extensive knowledge, our guide Ahmed kept us safe and made the most of our visit. The souks in Marrakech, camel rides at sunset, a night in a Berber tent beneath the stars, and a traversal of the Atlas Mountains were some of the highlights. Rooms were comfortable, and the Moroccan food was wonderful of this world. All things considered, Morocco Travel 4x4 offered a smooth and culturally fascinating trip, and their first-rate service and amazing adventure earned them an ideal rating of 5/5.
