A truly remarkable desert tour!
The 3-day trip from Marrakech to Merzouga was a truly remarkable adventure. Our knowledgeable guide led us through breathtaking landscapes, providing fascinating insights into the local culture. The highlight was the mesmerizing desert of Merzouga, where we rode camels into golden dunes, stayed in a traditional Berber camp, and enjoyed the starry night sky.
The accommodations and meals were exceptional, and the itinerary allowed us to explore attractions like Todra Gorge and Ouarzazate. This trip perfectly blended adventure, culture, and relaxation, leaving us with unforgettable memories and a deep appreciation for Morocco’s beauty and diversity.

Best of Desert experiences in Morocco!!
Loved everything about this journey. We were 4 friends traveling from Germany to explore Morocco and Mouhou Tours organized the best trip from Fes to Marrakesh for 3 days.
Our driver and guide Hamid was really nice. He took us to some amazing places and gave insights throughout the trip. He also took us to his home in his village for some tea, which was a beautiful gesture. Our stays were very comfortable and well organized. The food was amazing. We enjoyed watching the sunset/sunrise, and star gazing in the desert. Also, we were treated so well in the camp in the desert. There was a small musical night after the dinner, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
