Congratulations to Hassan, Mohammed, and the entire staff. We spent three unforgettable days starting in Marrakesh, crossing the Atlas Mountains, visiting the incredible Aït Ben Haddou, and spending our first night in the Dades Gorges.
The next day we visited the Todra Gorges before arriving in Merzouga to experience the breathtaking Sahara Desert. Sleeping in a desert camp and watching both the sunset and sunrise among the dunes was simply magical.
Everything was perfectly organized, from the riads to the lunches and dinners. Our guide, Moha, was fantastic, and Hassan also helped us solve a major issue we had with Booking.
