Our 6-day tour from Marrakech to Fes with Hassan and Private Moroccan Tour was absolutely amazing. Every detail was handled with care, and Hassan made us feel like family from day one. The camel ride into the dunes, sleeping in a luxury desert camp, and exploring Fes with a local guide were all highlights. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-chosen, and the scenery throughout the trip was simply breathtaking. We felt safe, relaxed, and inspired every single day. Highly recommend this tour and Hassan’s team if you want a genuine Moroccan experience.
Hassan is the reason our Morocco trip turned into a lifetime memory. He is professional, kind, and deeply knowledgeable about his country. From the bustling streets of Marrakech to the calm silence of the Sahara dunes, every part of the tour was perfectly balanced. We especially loved the Merzouga desert camp it was comfortable, authentic, and the food was fantastic.
