The 2-day Fes to Merzouga desert tour was incredible from start to finish. The drive through mountains and valleys was stunning, and the stops along the way were well chosen. Arriving in Merzouga for a camel trek into the dunes was the best part. The camp was clean, welcoming, and offered a magical night under the stars. A fantastic experience well organized, safe, and totally worth it!
