A desert tour that must do - 4 days from Marrakech to Fes

Family Traveller

We chose the 4-day tour from Marrakech to fes via the desert with my sister. It was a great experience, we had Said as our guide. He is very knowledgeable and nice to go with, he shows you the good spots. Before this experience, we did some days in tangier and Rabat on our own. This tour was a great chance to complete the picture of Morocco we got. I would do it again any time and can fully recommend it.
