Agadir to Marrakech private safari

It was an incredible experience! I felt very safe and had a great time on the trip. My two adult children wanted to return for a longer three or four day trip to the desert. The trip was well-planned. The bus was comfortable for a long journey (8hrs). We made several photo stops, as well as lunch and bio breaks. The Berber village where many films such as Game of Thrones and Alibaba were shot was incredible. Beautiful! However, I wished the camel's saddle was more comfortable. I wholeheartedly recommend this excursion.

We had an incredible trip experiencing Morocco's cities and desert. Our driver, Ibrahim, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and always concerned with our safety and comfort. Our driver blended in with the rest of us. The recommended restaurants were all excellent. Everything was well-organized in the desert, from the sunset on the camels to the dinner. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
