Unforgettable 3 days desert tour from Marrakech to Fes! I went with a group of friends, and we all agreed it was one of the best travel experiences we’ve ever had. Riding camels at sunset and spending a night in the desert were moments we’ll never forget. The accommodations were comfortable, the meals were delicious, and everything was so well organized.
