Great 3 days tour

This tour was a highlight of our Moroccan honeymoon. Our driver, Zaid, was fantastic the whole day – extremely amusing, friendly, and agreeable to any stops or little detours we requested.

The feeding of the berber monkeys and camel rides in the Sahara desert were undoubtedly highlights for us. We felt like we were in a movie since the environment was so gorgeous. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Our desert tent was much more contemporary and pleasant than we had anticipated, far better than some of the riads we’d seen on our journey. The camp staff was also really considerate and gracious, surprising us with a song, dance, and cake to commemorate our honeymoon. It was really one of the most pleasant experiences we’ve had, and we’ll never forget it.

Highly reccommended

We’ve made a reservation for a vacation. The journey from Marrakech to Fes with Ali and Brahim went extremely well, and the night in the desert was the finest experience of my life. We would like to express our gratitude to the crew of Marrakech Camel trips.

10/10 rated tour

If I could, I’d give this tour ten stars! From Marrakech to Fes, we had three great days. The staff is really kind and accommodating. Ali is the name of our driver and guide. During the road ride, they told us many fascinating tales and customs and looked after both of us. The cuisine was wonderful and elegant. We enjoyed a lovely romantic meal in the desert beneath the Milky Way. This trip comes highly recommended from me!

Great services

We booked a three-day trip from Marrakech to Fes with Marrakech Camel Trips, which was excellent. The folks were really polite, and the service was excellent.
