    Best 3 Days Marrakech to Fes Desert Tour with Aziz

    I recently took a trip from Marrakech to the Sahara Desert, and it was absolutely incredible! From the moment we left the city, everything was perfectly organized. The drive through the Atlas Mountains offered breathtaking views, and we made several interesting stops along the way, including the stunning Ait Ben Haddou kasbah and charming Berber villages.

    The highlight of the trip was arriving at the desert. Riding a camel through the golden dunes at sunset was a surreal experience. The colors of the sky and the peacefulness of the desert made it truly magical. We spent the night in a traditional Berber camp, where we enjoyed delicious local food, listened to live music around the fire, and gazed at the most amazing starry sky I’ve ever seen.

    Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best experience possible. Everything was well-organized, and I felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. This was, without a doubt, one of the best trips of my life! I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Morocco—it’s an adventure you’ll never forget!
