    unforgetable marrakech desert trips 14 days tour with morocco travel 4x4 My partner and I, on a romantic getaway, had the pleasure of meeting Othmane (our guide ) during the tour from Merzouga through Couchsurfing. Othman organized an unforgettable desert adventure just for the two of us. The camel ride was a dream, and we were incredibly lucky with the weather, which added to the magic of the experience. The campsite was nothing short of luxurious, providing us with a truly exceptional evening. The dinner we savored was not only delicious but also one of the best meals we've had since arriving in Morocco.What made it even more special was that we were the sole guests at the camp, creating an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. This was an authentic, personalized, and incredibly fun experience shared with Othmane and the small group accompanying him. Thank you, Othmane and Morocco Travel 4x4 staff, for making our couple's adventure truly remarkable.100 % we will be back soon and its highly recommended.

    An unforgettable trip, one of the best days of my life! One of the best experiences of my life, Morocco has become one of my favorite countries. At first, I had several concerns about the trip since it was my first time on the African continent; I had many taboos about the traditions and culture of Morocco, but I had heard so much about that beautiful country, that I decided to do it. I found the contact on IG and it was there where I met Youssef from Morocco Travel 4x4, he answered absolutely all my questions and concerns and was always attentive to us. They picked us up from the airport and accompanied us throughout the trip. Hassan, who was our guide, was the best, very friendly and with absolute command of Spanish (and many more languages), which made us feel more comfortable. I was absolutely amazed by that country, the people there are extremely friendly, always attentive and helpful to us. Without a doubt it was one of the best experiences of my life, the night in the desert is one of the most beautiful things my eyes have ever seen, everything was perfect. The food they offered us in the Riad and in the desert tent was delicious and the camp had all the comforts one could need. Hassan was more than a guide, he was a good friend, we really enjoyed the entire trip. As a traveler, I can tell you that you must visit Morocco at least once in your life, especially the night in the desert, it was the best. Morocco is a very safe country, we felt very calm throughout the trip. Morocco Travel 4x4 was the best option for traveling, I would love to return and of course I would request their excellent service again. Thanks to Youssef, Hassan, Mohamed and their entire team for making my trip to Morocco unforgettable, one of the most beautiful experiences of my life.

    Best agency to visit wonderful Morocco A fantastic experience, a fairy tale country, very beautiful people always with a smile. We did the entire trip with Morocco Travel 4x4, and it was the best choice. The transportation, the hotels, the food, everything was first class. We are from Mexico and I traveled with my daughter, and it was very comfortable that the trip was private to go at our times. From the beginning, the reservation is quick and they adjust the tour to what you want to see, and the time you want. Our guide was Atman, an extraordinary person, very fun, informed, attentive who makes you feel at home, he suggested places to us, he always accompanied us, we were delighted with his service and attention. We leave happy to have known the country, hoping to return soon. If you visit Morocco, without a doubt do it with Morocco Travel 4x4, they have all the options for any activity you want to do with exceptional attention.

    Extraordinary option to visit Morocco We booked our first trip to Morocco with Morocco Travel 4x4, I traveled with my mother and it was definitely an extraordinary option. The service is unique and personalized. They pick you up at the airport and accompany you throughout the trip until your return flight.They are private tours in very comfortable and first-class vans. They adjust the route of the tour according to your interests, which makes it much better instead of going with a pre-established itinerary.Our guide's name is Atman and his attention was the best, he gave us information about the places we visited, recommendations, answered our questions, he always cared that we were well and enjoyed the trip and made us feel safe.The quality of the accommodation and food is top notch, and in cities like Marrakech and Fez we had a local guide who accompanied us to explore the city.We did a 9-day tour starting with Marrakech, the desert, Fez, Chefchaouen, Casa Blanca among others and each place is spectacular and unique.The quality-price ratio is extraordinary.Without hesitation I can say that if you plan to take your trip to Morocco, book it with Morocco Travel 4x4, it will be the best option!

    The best guided tour! My friends and I had a remarkable experience!From beginning to end!This was our first time visiting Morocco and obviously we had dozens of doubts and questions which were all addressed by this amazing team. We chose the 5 day package and took advantage of every single moment. There’s so much to do that this is not enough time. Fortunately the guys at Morocco Travel 4x4 made sure we covered everything in our list. Totally recommend them for your trip! They are very knowledgeable, respectful and kind. We felt very safe visiting many iconic places in Morocco as the community welcomes the tourists with much love. My recommendations, bring comfortable clothing and shoes as there’s areas that require lots of walking. Negotiate the prices at The MedinasExchanging currency as soon as you can is key as there’s many places that won’t accept foreign money or cards. Check the weather forecast for the days you plan to visit so you prepare accordingly. And lastly, enjoy and prepare to fall in love with the beauty you’ll find in the architecture, landscapes, the culture and the people!

    3-day tour from Marrakech to Marrakech The 3 days trip between Marrakech and Marrakech was an amazing experience. The booking procedure went without any problems and was simple. Our point of contact answered all of our questions and was incredibly helpful. Hassan, who served as our tour guide, was not just friendly but also accommodating. He gave us plenty of time for photos and gave us in-depth explanations of each location we went to. We enjoyed a comfy sleeping arrangement and delicious cuisine during our overnight stay in the Sahara desert with a camel ride. The entire trip was wonderful, and we have already recommended it to family members.

Along the way, you’ll explore the UNESCO-listed Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, one of Morocco’s most iconic fortified villages. The journey continues through Ouarzazate and the lush palm groves of Skoura before reaching the Dades Valley. Tonight, you’ll stay in a cozy guesthouse surrounded by dramatic rock formations.

    After breakfast, set out for the spectacular Todra Gorges, where sheer canyon walls rise dramatically on either side of the river. Following a morning visit, the route takes you through Erfoud and Rissani before arriving in Merzouga. Here, you’ll embark on a camel trek at sunset, riding into the golden Erg Chebbi dunes. The evening is spent in a desert camp with a traditional dinner and Berber music beneath the stars.

In the evening, return to your hotel or riad in Merzouga for overnight.
