Booking Request

We just got back from a 5 days tour starting from Fes and arriving in Merzouga via Ifrane, Ziz valley and the High Atlas with a night in the desert. What can I say ... everything was perfect, from the organization of the tour by Ali, to our companion (a very special thanks to Ibrahim) unfortunately the only problem was the short time we had available. But we will soon solve this problem because we will come back and maybe with a little more time.

With Ali as an organizer and Hamid as an escort, this experience was unique. We saw in a few days beautiful landscapes that we will always carry in our hearts. Every place we visited was carefully chosen and nothing was left to chance. I really thank these beautiful people for all the emotions they gave us. See you next time 😉
