The 4 days desert trip from Marrakech was very good, We were with a magnificent group and with the best guide that Mohamed could offer us. I’ll start by talking about him. He cares about everything, is very attentive and always has a smile on his face. If you take this 4 days excursion, in the comments I would say if it is possible for them to put you on it.
