    I recently took the 4-day desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga, and it was truly incredible. The landscapes were breathtaking, and every stop along the way was filled with history and beauty. The camel trek into the desert was definitely a highlight, as was watching the sunrise over the dunes. Our guide was friendly and informative, and the accommodations in the desert camp were comfortable. Overall, it was an unforgettable adventure that I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Morocco.

    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.
