Reviews
INever been to the desert ? Then this place is highly recommended. Excellent service and extreme helpful staff. Super clean and luxurious tents. Dining room could be a bit more cosy and don’t expect Michelin star dinner but hey, you come here for the experience! My 16y old daughter went in the morning on a quad trip and had the time of her life !.
Beautiful exotic country… With hospitable and friendly people…. Beautiful culture, tradition, music, food…. Great natural diversity, powerful and beautiful nature, beautiful tourist destinations, peaceful cultural life,… Still present way of life in nomadic families… Especially in the mountainous parts of the Atlas Mountains… Maintaining traditions, culture, clothing… One word… Beautiful.. Visit Morocco.
My friends and I had a 12-day tour from Casablanca to Marrakech and the trip was awesome! The program was perfect for us. People from the tour were very kind, treating us with excellent hospitality. I have never been disappointed with the service throughout the journey. I really recommend Excursion Desert Tours for anyone travelling to Morocco.
