Great moments in 4 days luxurious desert tour

08-Nov-2023

I had a great moments in a wonderful voyage from Marrakech to Merzouga desert. The service was really smooth in time with a professional team. The road was full of stunning views from the breathtaking view of Tizi N Tichka and the marvelous Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou to the amazing night in the desert in a luxurious desert camp. The stuff was really sharing the good vibes and knowledge about the desert, without any doubt I will travel with Morocco Trips Services as they make their service as top of expectations!

Excellent trip 4 days desert!

08-Nov-2023

My 4-day trip to the desert with Morocco Trips Services was great! An incredible experience with the help of Mustapha and Brahim. The organization was impeccable, the choice of hotels and bivouac with the night under the stars in luxurious camps was unforgettable. I highly recommend this unique experience! Especially with Brahim and Mustapha.

Fascinating Country, Amazing People, Best Driver & Tour Guides!

20-Oct-2023

We had an amazing vacation to Morocco! The sights were like nothing I'd ever seen before. The Medina in Marrakesh was so lively and fun, with it's winding streets packed with people, donkeys, and scooters. The desert was absolutely breathtaking. Our sunset camel ride was unreal! I kept having to pinch myself. Additionally, one of the things that made our trip so fantastic was our driver, Mustapha. He was so kind, funny, and welcoming of all our hundreds of questions. He was an open book - answering every question we had about his county and culture. This added such a beautiful depth to our trip that I doubt would have existed with a different driver. I can't recommend this tour enough!
