We started our tour from Fes, passing through beautiful landscapes such as Afrou, Ifrane and Ziz Valley. Once arrived in Merzouga, we rode camels to the desert camp and looked at the sunset from the dunes. The camp has everything you need and it is typical, with live Berber music after dinner (however, the camp is quite basic, but you can choose different luxury camps if you want, it depends on what you are looking for). The following day, we looked at the sunrise and then continued to Todra Gorges, Dades Valley and Skoura Oasis, visiting a stunning ancient Kasbah. After that, we slept in Ouarzazate in a beautiful hotel of our choice. On the last day, we visited the “Ouarzawood” studios in Ouarzazate and the village of Ait Ben Haddou, where several movies such as “the Gladiator” were filmed, and then we arrived in the evening in Marakech.
Our driver, Said, who spoke fluently English, French and Arabic, was extremely experienced and a very pleasant company; he accompanied us to eat in truly local Moroccan places and gave us a lot of advices. He drove us through amazing landscapes in the Middle and High Atlas, answering to all our questions about society and history.
The whole tour was very well organized and Ahmed was very flexible to accommodate to our requests. I would advise “Quiet Merzouga” to anyone interested to have a “tailor - made” private trip across Morocco.
