We had a fantastic experience on the Marrakech 7-day itinerary. The city tour, the Atlas Mountains, and especially the camel ride in Merzouga were highlights. Our guide Moha made everything smooth and fun, and the desert camp was clean, comfortable, and magical at sunset. Omar was amazing to deal with, always available to answer our emails and so patient in helping us customize the tour. Morocco Sahara Tourism is a professional and trustworthy agency.

The riads were lovely, and the food was delicious. We especially loved the Ziz Valley and our night in the desert camp. A big thanks to our guide Mohamed for his kindness and stories along the way, and to MST for organizing it all so well.
