    My friend booked this tour for our group, Three 20-year-old women. Nervous and excited for what was to come, we awaited our pick-up time. Bags on our back, we wonder what the next three days would include, who would drive us, and what we would see. I'm happy to report it was the best 3 days of our time in Morocco...

    I did the 3 day/2 night desert tour from Marrakech to Merzouga with two friends of mine and we had the most spectacular time. Omar, our guide, was so knowledgeable and easygoing during the trip - he clearly made an effort the entire time to ensure we were happy and enjoying the trip! It was really easy to plan logistics with Hassan...
