In a pristine paradise, we’ll make our last visit before heading home. Enjoy the solitude of the desert, take in the stunning scenery, and watch the magnificent sunset.

We had an amazing time exploring the Dades Valley and Merzouga on this trip! The overnight experience in the desert was definitely the highlight, though a few more food options during our stay would have been nice.

Our journey through the Dades Valley and Merzouga was nothing short of mesmerizing, especially when we watched the sun set over the undulating sands, painting the desert in shades of gold. The accommodations were comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after long days of exploration and adventure. A little more variety in the dinner options would enhance the experience, but overall, we truly bonded as friends over this unforgettable adventure from Marrakesh to Fes.

The shared tour allowed us to immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes of the Dades Valley and the serene desert of Merzouga, making it a remarkable experience. One memorable moment was dining under the stars, where we savored traditional Moroccan dishes that truly brought the flavors of the region to life; however, a bit more variety in meal options would have been appreciated.

Exploring the stunning landscapes of Dades Valley and the captivating sands of Merzouga was an unforgettable experience during my three-day adventure. The overnight stay in the desert was magical, with starry skies that felt like a dream, although I would have loved a bit more time to soak in the atmosphere before heading to Fes.
