    3 Days Fes to Marrakech Desert Tour – Exceeded Every Expectation!

    Our 3 Days Fes to Marrakech desert tour with Book Morocco Trips was absolutely incredible! Ahmed was an exceptional guide who made every stop educational and engaging.

    The Middle Atlas Mountains journey was breathtaking – loved Ifrane’s “Little Switzerland” feel and seeing Barbary monkeys in Azrou. The Sahara experience was pure magic with sunset camel trekking through Erg Chebbi dunes and a luxury desert camp that exceeded expectations.

    The Todra Gorges’ 300-meter canyon walls were stunning, and Ait Ben Haddou UNESCO site was the perfect finale. This tour offered the perfect balance of adventure, culture, and comfort. Can’t wait to return to Morocco!
