Customers' reviews:

We went on an incredible 12 day in Morocco itinerary, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We explored many fascinating cities, including the picturesque Blue City of Chefchaouen, Tangier, and Rabat. Marrakech was our favorite destinations, love it, we could see the old Medina, its lovely narrow streets, and much more about the city.

A special thanks to Ali for taking us to visit Berber families behind the dunes of Merzouga and introducing us to the Gnawa community in Khamlia, where we learned so much about their rich culture.

This trip was truly remarkable, and highly recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Morocco.

My husband and I booked an 12 Morocco trip, and it was truly amazing. We began our trip in Fes and then explored the beautiful Blue City of Chefchaouen, Tangier, the Sahara Desert of Merzouga, and Marrakech, where we had a fantastic sightseeing tour of the city.
