Reviews: 2-day to Zagora desert tour

Our two-day Zagora desert tour was fantastic and exceeded our expectations and photographs. Mustafa, our driver, was extremely kind and accommodating, and he spoke excellent English. He picked us up from our riad, which was convenient. We stopped every 1.5 hours for a bathroom, water, and snacks on the way. The camp was both cozy and attractive. The beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean and functional. They prepared a delicious dinner and brunch for us. We had a gloomy night, but witnessing the dawn from the top of the sand dunes was breathtaking and such a memorable experience.

My wife and I had a two-day tour with this travel agency; the views were breathtaking, and the locals were friendly and accommodating. We loved the desert night the best, despite the fact that we didn't have much time, only two days, and the tour was nicely arranged. Thank you, Morocco Vacations!
