Private 3 day desert tour from Marrakech
★★★★★ 5/5
The tour was impeccably organized, with attentive and friendly staff who take great care of you throughout the journey. You have the opportunity to see a lot during the tour, although there are occasional stops at shops, which may be a minor inconvenience. The lunch provided is a bit expensive, and you are responsible for purchasing your own drinks. However, the highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the camel trip, which offered a truly authentic and enjoyable experience with rides lasting almost 2 hours each. I highly recommend embarking on the 3-day tour. For more information, you can visit the following link: 3 Days Desert Tour From Marrakech To Merzouga Dunes & Camel Trek .
