Our 3-day Marrakech to Fes desert tour with Morocco Package Tour was absolutely amazing. From the start, they listened to what we wanted. The trip had the perfect mix of adventure and cultural experiences. We wandered through scenic Berber villages, toured the historic Ait Ben Haddou Kasbah, and took in the breathtaking views of the High Atlas Mountains. Riding camels in the Sahara and staying overnight at a luxury desert camp were unforgettable highlights. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel at home. We also loved the option to customize the trip and pick accommodations that matched our style. Highly recommend this tour!

Our trip from Marrakech to Fes was amazing, all thanks to Morocco Package Tour. Everything was well-organized, and the highlight was spending a night in the Sahara Desert. Riding camels across the golden dunes and watching both the sunset and sunrise felt like a dream. The accommodations were cozy, and we liked being able to pick our hotels. Traveling in a small group made it more personal, and our guide shared so much interesting information. We also tried extra activities, like a hot air balloon ride in Marrakech and a guided tour in Fes. The entire experience went above and beyond what we expected.
